Looks like it might be a cut-down version of these, available on the Amazon.UK site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_...reen&x=15&y=13

Seen these but they dont look as good. Cant be a cut down version as the angles are different as well.

Hmm that ones not that quite good either. There aught to be one that only has the eyes.

Maybe some MINI fan out there could design one from scratch for us and be able to do the color according to mini car color or roof color. Someone could do a fair bit of buisness with that here I bet (no I don't want to do it).

Wow, i need one of those! If someone stepped up to do it, youd have my money! Maybe you can talk CooperFlags, AC, or VynilStyles to do it.

Just call up your agent. They might still be able to order them. They'll do it for you for free! That...or PM me and I might be able to order one...

State Farm Sunscreen

Minichaser
here in the usa you can not get the cars sunscreen from state farm they were given to agents my sister worked there and they gave out lots of cars products a christmas ornament a sunscreen, temporary tattoos and keyrings i have most of them and multiples of others
they are extremely rare you can google all day and not find these products, there are sunscreens that have eyes but the one with the state farm logo in the upper corner is the actual licensed product and has the authentic look
I tried to call a few agents here in town and track one down after weeks of calls and speaking to the higher ups they only produced so many of them which is why they are so rare
the one at target is no longer available since it was sold in 2006

Not sure if anyone is interested still, but I am going to get a bunch of these made up, custom to each MINI's color and expression and in my own style. I just need to see how many people are interested so we can try to get a bulk rate on them. Let me know! Here is a link to the thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ld-shades.html
