Kinda reminds me of the glasses they wore in the Johny Depp version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Actually, I kinda like 'em. They really stand out from the sides.

Now only if those were rocket boosters that spit flames, then they'd be sweet.

Stoopidgirl, you just took the words out of my mouth. Actually, I was going to say, "Number 5: still alive!!!", and go get a picture of Johnny number 5 like you did.

Same basic idea. Not many other people on this earth get a "Short Circuit" movie reference, (or would admit it, anyway). :-)

Something else to make people confuse the MINI with its distant cousin the Chrysler PT Cruser.

Don't worry. One of my local MINI pals has a brand new 06 JCW which he immediately installed his old 02-04 tail lights. It is an easy modification to do.

I like how it says "New to the market" then in another place it says "Close Out"

There's no shame in my game...I'll own up to the worst offenses!


After seeing these on the car I'll have to give them a thumbs down. But like I said if the circle didn't stick out like that I think they would be pretty neat. It's amazing how one little thing can make them so ugly.
