You win. That is the ugliest accessory so far. Should be safe until someone comes out with "woodie" decals for the MINI.

I think the chrome arch trim + the woodie side panels would be a great weapon or crowd control tool. You'd have to enter the car blindfolded.

Sorry to all. Really, it was a joke. Who would have thought someone would actually put "woodie" decals on their MINI. Send Smokey and I your doctor bills (we won't pay them.)

My punishment is to write, "I will not post suggestions for making a MINI ugly on the internet" on a chalkboard 500 times. Smokey, your punishment, "I will not post pictures of other peoples lack of taste on the internet."

"Curb feelers" anyone?

Don't do it. Don't you dare do it. Anyone posting a photo with a MINI having "Curb feelers" inherits all doctor bills.
