My dealer is having a Mini Halloween party, looks like they have had some creative Mini costumes brought to the party in the past. It might be fun to just go and take pictures (I'm with you guys on the paint scratching part.... I just reemed the husband for suggesting that i put a Christmas magnet on the back) I did think the catalog I just got with the reindeer antlers that attach to the windows and the red nose that attaches to the bonnet were kind of cute......not sure how the antlers would stay on with the windows opening and closing with the door though.

I want to, but doubt I'll have time, as usual. I was thinking of dressing my MINI up as a Ferrari. But besides the logo, I can't think of how to do that!

I should think about using white electrical tape to make fangs for the grill.

You need some green light bulbs in the driving lights.

When I was considered getting a Hot Orange Cabrio I thought about turning it into a jack o lantern for halloween. Won't work so well with a Cool Blue one though...

Sorta on the theme

Went to the last year of Young's Farm to find the perfectly weird pumkin.

Nothing like wandering around a pumkin patch.

Now, where is that white electrical tape?

Aww, was this the last year? Drat, I guess I'll have to find a new place for pumpkins.

We're heading up for the Boo Run in Gatlinburg on the 28th, and are scrambling frantically to finish the costume for our meenie (what a mini becomes on halloween :-) )

I'm using that new car stencil paint that removes with soap and water. I've gotten some wild Halloween stencils off the internet that I'm using. BLack and orange paint over my LY mini should be pretty cool.

That sounds like it's going to be really cool! I've seen that stuff advertised on Spike TV's "Power Block".

Does it really work?

Do you have to remove your polish/sealant with alcohol or something similar before applying?

Hopefully you get a chance to post use some pictures of your final creation!
