MINI's face lift. What do you think?
OMG. Auto express has just plopped through my letter box. On the front cover they have exclusive shots of the facelefted 2006 MINI.
It has twin headlamps and a bigger grill and also appears to have photoshop added rubbing strips. Noooooooooooo! I hate rubbing strips. Nothing makes a car look uglier than plastic strips down the side even if these ones are colour coded.
Headlamps actually look alright now I've had a chance to reflect. The grill looks kinda weird though. It's too tall and there's too much plastic on the lower bumper. However this does appear to be the MINI One model (possibly a One D as it has S side skirts, but then again, maybe they're going to be standard now).
The Auto Express web page hasn't updated yet but when it does I expect it'll all be on there. www.autoexpress.co.uk
...and what do Auto Express call this new MINI model???
The MINI 2
