Pictures of Italian Job MINIs

Sorry if this has been posted but are there any decent pictures of the 2003 movie MINIs? I've searched the forum and google and came up with nothing.

Thanks for posting the pictures, boostednorm, I've been looking myself. Charlize is gorgeous and I love that movie. Makes me want to name my Mini "Stella".

Love the movie, watch it about once a month. I would love to have the time and money to own a classic too.

I got to meet the stunt guy who drove the blue MINI in the movie..He said lil MarkieMark was carsick most of the time, while Miz Charlize kicked everyone's butt in driving school.

Her movie classic Mini was sold several years ago for almost nothing..like 25K.

Just watched it again last night, i never noticed that only the chili red car is an MCS, the others are just regular coopers. Whats up with that?

I've noticed that long time ago. Only after I got my car and started to know the differences between an "S" and a "Cooper".

I have a question. What is the body kit on those MINIs? They have two sets of fog lamps? I haven't been able to figure out what that is.

Any help?

They all have Aero Kits. The MC's are R50's and the MCS is an R53. All MINIs to '06 and the MCc/MCSc, R52, to '08 have them.

The new MINIs R55, R56, and R57 don't have this.

Yeah I also found that a bit interesting..

I thought maybe they wanted to show that the Cooper is just as agile and peppy as the S? To show that all MINIs a naturally born as stunt cars?
