Like the pockets in the rear doors.

One concern, could you trap fingers in the light cluster opening whilst closing the rear doors? Just looks like the kind of thing that children will be attracted to peer through!

I guess it's possible, but you could trap your fingers in all kinds of places if you're not careful.

thoroughly enjoy the stock "bird chirping" that always comes with MINI videos.

Clubman looks good too!

Do the back doors open like that or is there someelastictrickery going on?

Paul · Jul 30th, 2007, 02:26 PM

Sort of, but you're supposed to (can only) open one side, then the other. So they must have been some running about or "wires" to release them at the same stage!

They on gas struts, much like the regular hatch or indeed the bonnet, so when they get to a certain point they "push" themselves gently to fully open.

Yeah but with experience of children you kind of suspect that a head-sized hole at head height will result in more curiosity than say a Club Door would!
