Hey, I got my PW/B MCSa a couple months ago, and I thought I'd join in this Peerage too! No pictures due to no camera, but I'd like to be #738... it is my Law Enforcement Academy Class Number... I was with those chaps for five months in huddled quarters, so it means a lot to me! Thanks!

I would not have given out my profession, especially your profession. Now, everyone is going to want info on how to get out of a ticket.

Thanks sometimes at just the right angle and distance it looks like a RC car (I like the look with the OEM antenna) and it makes me laugh. I may look crazy sometimes if I'm smiling while walking toward my car

Custom Graphics -- Penguin?

Hello All,
We are the proud new owners of a 2009 PW/B Cooper, and boy is it fun! With its black and white looks, we are reminded of a penguin and have been thinking to do custom graphics on that theme. Attached is one option. I like it, but I worry I will tire of it over time. What do you think? Too cutesy? Other creative thoughts? Thanks!!!

It would be pretty cool if you had the strip trailing the penguin (only behind it, not infront...as if the penguin is creating the stripe) and then maybe have the penguin up a bit and have the stripe waved up to it.
If that makes sense.

I like your design tho. It could be a bit cutesy, but if you like it, then thats all that matters. The Linux penguin would work too

I like it, and to go with what checkercoop said, it's really what you like that matters most.

The good news is that if you get it done in vinyl it can come off pretty easily later on. If you decide to go another route or change up the design there's no stopping you down the road.

Just an update:
Check now has eyes



(I forgot to put my tow hook back in after washing the car)

The LEDs are more a xenon white, but come out blue on camera

Thank you
Yeah mine and 2 others (I personally like the 2 other designs a ton...especially the hello eyes probably my favorite, but I wanted a checkered solution for any of us that like checkers)

I purchased my first Mini in 2004 - a PW/B MC, that I affectionately called Neo: as in "The One". I sold him this summer to make room in the garage for my new Mini - a PW/B MCS, which I have named Neo II. He looks almost the same as my first Neo, but with a lot more bells and whistles, think Neo - Reloaded. He and I have been together since mid August and have been "getting to know one another". Although I miss Neo dearly, Neo II is almost more than I can handle.
I only discovered this weekend that there are car clubs for different colored Minis. Can I join up, as #1013? Also, do you have car badges for the club and if so, where do I go to find them?
