I got my MINI 5280 stickers and have a question!

So, where should I put the MINI 5280 Org sticker? I only have one sticker on my car right now, which is the "Actual Size" sticker, and that is located on the back window, passenger side. Should I put my 5280 sticker on the rear window drivers side or on the side windows? Help me to decide! Show me your stickers!!

Sorry no pics yet but ours is under the wiper blade on the passenger's side. It's our only sticker so far. Don't want to mess anything up when the top and windows go down.

I've got two of the 5280 stickers myself; I have them on the bottom of my windows, just to the rear of the doors. Let me see if I can track down pics that show my stickers.

I've seen otehr folks with stickers on the back, passenger's side under the wiper blade. I might have one such pic of someoen elses car. I'll edit in a minute after checking.

[hr]

ok, found a couple of photos. The first one is my car, you can see the sticker just behind the driver's side door. the other is in the same place on the passenger's side.



The second belongs to Intercoolest, and though it's filthy, and quite a closeup it's the only other picture I could find of 5280 stickers. This is the bottom of Panther's rear window on the passenger's side.



{Edit: The pictures were huge and I thought it rude to leave them big. The pictures are now linked thumbnails, so click on them for the full version.}

Hi Scribbledpaper!

Where did you get the "actual size" sticker?? A friend of mine was telling me about a MINI she saw with that sticker (Might have been you because she said it was yellow) and she couldn't stop cracking up! I'd love to stick one of those on Jezzy.

Thanks!

Hi Scribbledpaper!
Welcome to MINI5280. Most people put their club sticker on the rear glass, lower left or right corner. Some have theirs at the top (center), right under the brake light. On the outer edges of the glass, it's out of the way of the wiper blade.

Hi Jezzy's Mom,
Here's the original source, and a little history of the clever sticker: http://www.aestheticreations.net/bumperstickers.htm.

You guys are all great!! I'm going to wash Bean today and put my sticker on him!

Jacob, I love the picture of your MINI and the rainbow! It's beautiful! Where was that taken?

That was taken on the 'Western Dragon' a stretch of road between Evergreen and Idaho Springs; it's the only way to get to Mt. Evans. This particular time was the Sunday after MITM II on the drive back to Denver. On a clear day this valley behind is really quite beautiful; heck we've even been by in a snowstorm and the valley was wreathed in mist and fog, also quite lovely.

Times like this are the reason I try to bring my camera along while motoring. You never know what kinds of photos may present themselves.


So; where did you decide to put your sticker?

Hey Scribble, I just got my sticker too. I put it under the brake light at the top of the rear window. And when I look in my rearview mirror, it reflects back at me. Fun.
