Well, I guess I'll be first....
Here is what I have always wanted for my MINI even before I picked it up.
Pretty simple and straight forward, fun for all colors!

Entry #1




Entry #2 Famous eyes from a certain mouse from my neck-o-the-woods....


Enjoy!!

Ok here is the design I am looking at. I will have the PDF version soon, just need to work on it, but for now I want to secure my idea
The pic has it in a semi pepper white color (tho it's not really creamy enough in the pic), but it will look good on all the colors or MINIs if pure white is used. Pepper white will need the pepper white IMHO because pure white stands out wayyy to much next to it.


EDIT

Here is the printout version


Everyone that has checkers in their theme needs some sort of solution for the headlights

I don't suppose you have a template for the oval headlight shape in EPS or AI?

I'd like to enter, but hate to put a lot of detail into a design that would need major modification because I guessed the shape incorrectly…

And is a vector file required, or can raster work be included?

Have sent email to my printer to ask about the last two questions. I know we print them a little bigger then need be and they must be trimmed after install. The R56 is much bigger glass area then the R53 too.

Awesome!

In the event that I would win, I'd like the artwork to be as close to print ready as possible…

The Size and Shape Both Oval the R50, 52, and 53 are 9X12 and the R56, 55 and 54 are 11X13. Note the leading edge of the above size do get trimmed off at install. You may find this video helpful, http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...22209976&hl=en

Thanks!

I've got some cool eyes in my sketchbook too! Hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to get them into the computer.

Here is mine.



Or something to that effect. The black circles are not necessarily part of it.

wow, some really nice eye designs on this thread, definitely some winners...here's looking at you!





A question for AutoXCooper.com...are the templates symmetrical enough that four variations can be derived from just one design? In other words can they be switched right to left and upside down resulting in this sort of thing?

WOW, Thank You all for the great designs. I'll be working on getting them put together in a poll for voting and will post a link here to that thread and in the Vendor Announcements too.
