Here are some updates on the MINI. The pre-facelift xenon headlights have made way for the newer projector versions. As expected, the MINI now looks 5 years younger. The projectors also provide significantly better , farther, beams plus the cut-off that only projectors can provide.

From the left, an S3, MCS, Cayman S. As Malaysians await for the JPM Berjaya Hillclimb trials, 3 psyched-up Euros pound the Bukit Tinggi hills for a quick shakedown. Not realising the colour coordination of a traffic light post, there were also a certain specialness within the cars being a turbo 4WD, supercharged Front wheel drive and mid engined rear wheel drive.
