UK mag Car has snapped the first undisguised photos of the distinctive helmet roof on the MINI Coupé. Based on the image above it looks as though MINI has been true to the 2009 concept.
From what we know at the moment the Coupé will only be offered with a contrasting silver or black roof and mirror caps. With the exception of black, which can be ordered with same colour body and roof, all other colours will feature a contrasting roof colour.
MINI will also be offering “viper stripes” as a factory option with the Coupé. The stripes change colour as they go over the roof. You can just see the two blue stripes on the back of the rear spoiler above. On the bonnet (see pic below) the stripes are silver, matching the roof colour.
Expect official news from MINI in the very near future.

2009 MINI Coupé Concept

The rear 3/4 looks very strange. I can’t understand why they cut the roofline where they did, it makes it look unfinished. And what’s with the hernia coming out the side? I would have preferred to have seen a fastback version rather than this. I’m sure it will appeal to Mini maniacs though 🙂
Seriously awful.
