Mind you, the R56 looked at its best before its final disguise was removed (do you remember all of the colour keyed sticky tape concealing the headlamp and grille surrounds and with the side vents completely disguised?).

I'm interested to see it when they've striped off the final disguises from the rear and present it in something other than black.

It wasn't me who took the photos. I only found them in a german MINI forum.

Why do they call these Spy shots when they are obviously being released as a Planted teaser from MINI??

Look at the pics: 2x MINIs, guy in front seat taking pics of guys in other, these are no casual drive-by shots!!!!

Poor photoshop job though, considering it's what they make their money doing.

A nice find there. A lot more helpful than the official teaser / time waster; we can see more of it than before, we've got the rear handle now and a better idea of the tail lamps.

I do wish that MINI would stop pi****g around with this nonsense; the original R50 was shown to the public in virtually finished form and undisguised about 4 years before it went into production and it didn't do the R50's sales any harm.

Now come on BMW, stop messing around and show us the finished car. We are big boys and girls we can stand the excitement! NOW, PLEASE GET ON WITH IT!!!
