Happy eyes?

Hello!

I am looking for some eyes (under the hood) for my car, but it seems like all I can find is the angry/fierce eyes. I'd really like some eyes that portray my car in a better mood - happy eyes!

Does anyone know of any?

eyes

Aesthetic Creations has several eyes all content/happy eyes in several colors to match your Mini. I have the eyes with the iris that is Union Jack, they look great.

The guys here are great to work with as well, just be ready to wait as each order is custom made to order. Cheers

You mean the anime eyes, right? I saw those, but I am not sure about the yellow eyelids. But that is a great price - cheaper than most other places charge for eyes. Thanks!

My other half just put some of these on her MINI (well, she bought them, actually *I* put them on ).



She got the flirty eyes with the long lashes, of course.

That's what my wife wants on her chili red.
how's the lighting? especially night driving...do these eyes affect any darkness?

thanks

No, they don't.

Those are different eyes. The ones from AutoXCooper go over the headlights.

They're perforated vinyl and allow the headlights to shine through. Doesn't appear to have any effect on night vision.

I took a pic after install (last weekend) but I need to take another. Her eyes are gray lids with blue iris and they didn't show up will in that lighting.

When I get another, better pic, I'll post it here.

I don't think your boyfriend would like those particular eyes on his car.

No, he is trying to convince me to put them on mine! But I am leaning towards something for under the bonnet and more aggressive

off subject...but would you be able to tell me where or when I can find out information about the Dragon for next year?

here are my under bonnet eyes. Checkered/bloodshot.



And I don't think any info has been posted yet for MOTD2010. Keep an eye out for it in the Events forum.

I bought some (finally) at MitM but I haven't applied them yet. What should I use to clean the spot? Any tips?
