Uggo tail lights!



I have been in love with the mini tail lights. I will be buying the 07 mini regardless of the tail lights, but dont you think they dont look quite so classic as the current ones do?

Heres the+ site I found 'em. If theyre photoshopped thats good because that means those ugly things wont get to the production line.

I have a hard time believing these images are not photoshopped. I seriously doubt that MINI is getting rid of the chrome surrounds on the tail lights. Especially, as this one would probably have the chrome package, since it has the chome strip on the boot. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere (from a reliable source) that the chrome surround is staying and growing to become thicker. Does anyone else remember reading this?

I think it's funny that so many people are predicting doom and gloom with the 2007 MINI. Everything I've read leads me to believe that the visual changes will be minimal. Do people seriously believe that MINI would ruin itself with an ugly new model? I guess it's possible, but as always, I'm suspending judgement until I see the real thing.

Bah. Don't be so dramatic. Nobody's even seen anything of the new model except some "spy shots" of the car covered in plastic and maybe some online photochops. Like I said above, I doubt MINI is going to ruin itself with an ugly car.

Is the towhook on the bumper? That would suck!
That means that is going to be like our existing rear towhook placement.

Why would you totally chrome out a test mule? For me it makes no sense so in terms of those kinds of things I'm going to wait for the release of the car in Paris
