This is a cosmetic product and will not impact your MINI in a negative way or void any warranties. Product will be removed if you wish after photos are taken or left on at no charge if you like. Please email me at info@autoxcooper.com for more details with your MINI type and color.

Thanks Dustin

Thats why I'm asking for local MINI's, they have/are seeing it before install and picking the colors they want. I'm going to roll out the product tonight or Wed for all to see. It's fun and offers some protection too.

Thanks

It is perforated vinyl.

Warranty. None offered. The reason is I can not protect myself from someone using "who-knows-what" to clean them.

I had my last set on for 14 months and when I removed them for the new style they still looked great.

Like all products that must deal with weather and UV they will fade, just how fast is something I'm not going to put a number on, because whatever number I put on it will be wrong for just one customer and thats one too many. Yes it's a CYA, but it's what I must do in 2008.

I understand! Do you put a laminate on top of the print?
ide like to get a set but, I'm thinking here in AZ they wouldn't last very long. my hi performance vinyl is warrantied by the factory for 8 yrs. but they tell me to knock off 2-3 for the dessert. So even if you laminate it, I figure it will last maybe a year.

heres an idea, what about offering them on a lense cover that can be removed easily. then you can put it on for special events? hmmm.

"warrantied" by the factory, the issue is getting the factory to warranty to me. Since I'm selling a product once removed from the company offering the warranty I don't want to put myself between another rock and hard place.

The ink, colors on white perf, we are using I'm told is good for 5 plus years without laminate. Given the avg 3 year ownership of most cars I'm not worried about customers needing a warranty on the Eye's. They are more likely to just get bored with one design and change them out just for a new look or color/s.

The Temp Lens idea is a good one and something I'll look into.

I look forward to your order Thanks Dustin
