Does anybody have any other ideas where to get eyes? The website now kicks you to detroit tuning for eyes, and they only have like 5-6 sets. When I talked to them they gave me an e-mail address that didn't work any more. Any other ideas of who to get in contact with to get a set of these??? Thanks all!!!

The cheapest place to get "eyes" is your local sign shop.

Personally, we don't care for any of the aftermarket eyes... a MINI, IMHO, is not an "angry" car... we went the more "cute" route...

Get a couple of feet of white vinyl, make a simple template, and add a few minutes of your time:

Here's Butters' Eyes

I went the cheap route & drew a set of cartoon eyes for Butters. They are in a Word document sized on 8.5/11 paper. I had them printed on sticky-back-plastic, cut them out & installed.
Here they are installed & the Doc is attached.

I'm sure you could change the color of the attached or draw a set of your own however you would like.

Ok I've looked at all the places above and nothing so far. Any ideas if these are still made? if so, where do I get them from?

I might just try not4no1's word file and make me a set in red, but I like stoopidgirl's and mini rogue's the best so far.

One of the former founders of this site sells them on his MINI site...That is where I got mine...they ARE getting hard to find!! I got lucky...He bought up supplies and is helping out those of us that still wants them!!

http://www.motoringalliance.com/index.php?page=store

Rouge MINI Eyes These are the infamous R50/52/53 Eyes created by the Rouge MINI team of StoopidGirl and Tüls. Motoring Alliance is helping them sell off the last of inventory.

Supplies are limited and once these are gone "Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-... That's all, folks."
