Is that the stock grille or an Aerokit version? I think losing the horizontal bars is a good idea, but what we don't need is more of that awful honeycomb black plastic. The '07 will look sweet with an M7 Ultimate Grille.
Aside from what I assume must be wires for a battery charger, under the bonnet looks very uncluttered for having a turbo stuffed in there - almost "pretty." I like the MINI badge much better than the simple sticker on the current engine. Overall I like it!
I also see they moved the washer fluid reservoir. I wonder if it holds any larger volume? I actually liked it over the fender well, but I'm sure this will work.
Can't wait to see some MINI's in something other than Yellow or Blue. BTW, is the blue that's pictured the Lightning Blue or the Laser Blue?
So far, I have to say that I'm very much impressed with the R56. I think it will do just fine and after the dust settles Mini owners will come to embrace it and praise it as they have done for the R53.

Yup, once drivers experience all that usable torque so broad across the RPM curve it will be heartily embraced.
More photographs to follow when the covers come off the "secrets"...aero kit on the mellow yellow !!!??
I'd bet that you are right about the mellow yellow having the (now JCW) aero kit. The area surrounding the fog lights don't match the Cooper or MCS photos. The honeycomb plastic around the fogs follows the design lauguage of the current aero kit (ex: http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_th...currentPic=103).
