Nope.

And Hat, the good thing about a 9am reveal is that most people aren't around at this time.

SoggyCornFlakes · Feb 10th, 2004, 07:55 AM

In here or news ?

Paul · Feb 10th, 2004, 07:58 AM

Nice

Can't say I like the hinges at all though

Looks like it's giving you the "finger"

The new front of the cooper is very well done, can't say I like the rear though. I can't understand why the fog light is squared off

Oh and those 5 star 17s look great

Washy · Feb 10th, 2004, 08:09 AM

I really like it

San will love it.....still wonder about the hinges though.

Paul · Feb 10th, 2004, 08:10 AM

You can expect to see more later.

scooperman_uk · Feb 10th, 2004, 08:16 AM

i really like the front new trim, im not normally one to like chrome, but it looks nice. Hinges look a little large but i welcome the return to the classic down opening boot. like the wheels. great articles Paul. i now have new desktops for my PC.

Hat · Feb 10th, 2004, 08:20 AM

overall i like what they've done. big plus is the remote opening & closing of the roof. i wonder what those new bumpers will look like without the chrome line option?

You're just not meant to chop the roof off cars!

SoggyCornFlakes · Feb 10th, 2004, 08:23 AM

I love it

And with the hinges in body colour they seem ok IMO. Only disappointment is the orange colour, it really is not dukes of Hazard enough, but I guess it needs to be seen in the flesh

Hat · Feb 10th, 2004, 08:25 AM

some nice desktop pics on www.mini.com

KenL · Feb 10th, 2004, 08:27 AM

Paul - thank for publishing these excellent news items. You have obviously put in a lot of work - cheers.

From what I've seen from the pictures I think the car looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh at a dealer.

Ahh but the point is it will make my wife very happy and she won't want to drive my JCW S all the time....
