On my way to work today, there it was, two very slightly disguised 07 MINIs escorted by a 330i.
Only the back and the front were covered.
I'm sorry I didn't have my camera with me, and I only had a few minutes to spy on them since my exit was coming.
It was still plenty of time to pull along side and check them out real well.
First impressions:
If they are bigger, you can't really tell without the current model next to it (I wasn't driving my MINI).
The back is very similar to the current model and the side is almost identical.
The most noticeable change is the front. (you could still see the shape of everything underneath the "camouflage" from up close). The head lights appear bigger and are more reclined. There's also a lot more overhang in the front. The all thing looks a lot less aggressive from the side but still looks good from the front.
In a word, it looks exactly like the pictures shown on the More pics 6/19 thread.
I think it will come down to whether people like the new front better or not.
Sorry it's not much (especially without pictures) but I thought I'd share my encounter

 

Wow! Consider yourself extremely lucky, that's a once in a lifetime thing, to simply by chance see something like that on the actual road! Congrats, and thanks for sharing

 

Could you tell if there was still a hole in the rear bumper for a rear fog light in the middle? I realize that on most of these spy shots the bumpers look to be heavily disguised but wondered if you could see something up close.

Looking at my signature you should be able to see why I want to know!

 

From the leaked pics, it looks like there are two rear fogs on either side...

 

I'm sorry I can't remember for sure.
The covers were slightly different on both cars, since one was an S (or turbo) with the scoop on the bonnet but not the other. And their rear bumper were also covered differently, so I can't recall for sure....sorry.
Stupid camera at home !!!

 

Four words: Get a Camera Phone!!

 

Umm nice catch, but did you get to hear the turbo? Especially the BOV?
