No pics cuz everyone has seen the British flag eyes, but not knowing where the small set would fit, I put them on the underside of the toilet seat. Breaks the ice at parties.

Here's Bliksem's dragon eyes again.
I should re-do this so it shows my newer pirate-fish front plate.

motorswag, they sent me a color too dark (in pics it looks lighter) its more of a turquoise instead of light blue and they wouldn't answer any of my emails when i tried to get a replacement. So i was never able to get the right color. but at least i got some in the style i liked.

Oh yea I was going to order from them but every blur kr black color I liked seemed to be unavailable :( so I ended up paying $30 for ones from UK. Those look good though!

Thank you, dear. But to be honest... ... I don't recall where I got those. I've had several sets of under-bonnet eyes on my MINI and with one of the orders from one of the vendors, they sent the matching smaller eye decals that I used on the dash. It was about two years ago so, whoever it was, they might not be sending those out anymore.

If I had to bet, I think it was the vendor who posts on here under the name DVLMINI. Haven't seen him around lately and not sure if he's even still in business. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Motorswag.... thank you, Dustin. I could not remember. I think I buy too many things from too many vendors.

Thanks! Yeah, I need to do some cleaning but I was in a rush. I love the license plate holder! and I didn't use any plugs on the bumper, my wholes were thankfully not that big, so in the picture you can't really tell, but there are little holes there still. The plugs I found were too expensive!
