It doesnt help matters that the cladding covers part of the filler cap...
It has the potential to be cool...in that 'Art Car' kinda way...
Not something i would put on my beautiful paint though...Maybe this guy will start making Halloween costumes for MINI's...I mean if they have them for I-Pods, why not MINI's?

I bet there's no less than 25 laws that that guy has violated. And that's not counting the laws of nature.

Awful. Just awful.

The guy obviously didn't ask MINI owners whether or not it would look good.

I don't know why the artist picked a MINI to decorate but I am sure he is a very fine example of a starving artist.
