Mini Jargon

What is a Mini Salt Pack?  What is a Mini Pepper Pack?  What is a Mini Chilli Pack?

If you are new to Mini it can become very confusing trying to understand the different specification used Minis actually have.  I still get confused, so to make things easier for us all I have created this page to help summarise the different Mini Packs available!  The packs below refer to the 2nd Generation R55 & R56 Mini’s, but they have mainly stayed the same throughout the model years (which are also explained below!)
