It looks much better in the Subaru Blue but I'm still disappointed with the overall car being so similar. Hopefully there will be a body kit that that significantly alters the look more towards the Subaru design language.

lololol I didn't even realize that when I typed it...

This +10000000

Damn, you beat me to it. I was going to say; If not the weirdest at least the most colorful.

Chili Red is a no charge color! and that's the best! ;)

I got a hearty chuckle from that, good job Fiat.

As much as I wanted a C class coupe this is exactly why I will NEVER own one, MB seriously screwed up here.

This makes me very happy :)

Most excellent work ol'chap! I can see someones a Mini fan.

No prob man, another good thing to know is that Qualf makes a diff that can be fitted aftermarket to the R56 cars too.

Go MINI go! :)

R56 owner here, good to see some other MINI owners and enthusiast on the site for once. I must say though that you are incorrect about the LSD only be available on the R53 model. From 07' to 09' you could get a mechanical LSD on the Cooper S, and then the JCW came out that debuted the "E-Diff" and from then on the…

It looks like one of those new overtake challenges in Forza 4! :D
