MINI Asia and QAF Auto, the sole importer and distributor of MINI vehicles in Brunei, unveiled the MINI Brick Lane Edition on Friday.

The MINI Brick Lane Edition comes in MINI 3-Door, MINI 5-Door, and MINI Cooper Convertible variants.

Head of MINI Asia Kidd Yam said, “The MINI Brick Lane Edition takes inspiration from London’s home of street art, East End, where the city’s most vibrant sounds, colours, and tastes converge.

“Eagle-eyed MINI fans can pick out how brick lines are cleverly integrated into the car’s design along with a whole host of special design touches. The MINI Brick Lane Edition has individuality as its trademark, making it the perfect choice for customers in Brunei looking to make a style statement on the roads.”

The MINI Brick Lane Edition is available with the Cooper and Cooper S engine options and available in Enigmatic Black, Midnight Black and White Silver. Moonwalk Grey is also available for Cooper S option.

For the exterior design, the MINI Brick Lane Edition sees the traditional brick lines melded with the modern colours of the art scene. Designers played with the pattern and characteristics of both elements to create a striped motif in shades of Frozen Blue, Mint, and Soul Blue. This motif is displayed on the bonnet and sides of the vehicle body in visual harmony with the hardtop roof in San Marino Blue.

Inside, the Brick Lane treatment creates additional flair to the sophisticated and modern MINI interior. The cockpit fascia immediately grabs attention with a stylish ‘Brick Lane’ sticker against the glossy black panel. The floormats are also thoughtfully crafted with a “B” piercing in the semi-3D design previously seen on the C-pillars.

The MINI Brick Lane Edition is now available for viewing at the QAF Centre.
