I saw these on another thread also. How totally Mini!!!
I must hit the craft store soon and install my own.

On the other thread someone had installed a few sets on other club members cars during a gathering. Some didn't go for it and were just slightly a little upset. I thought it was a cute little prank that was so Mini like.

Yeah, it's typically a bad idea to put things on other MINIs w/o owner permission. Big no-no!!

Oh btw..it's a dollar for a whole bag. And Owners shouldn't be upset because they fit perfectly in the groves of the OO, no glue needed. I've been driven at 110 mile and they still there. Just lost one eye when I wash my car :-)

You can glue the eyes if you don't want to bother replacing them every now and then. Just an FYI.

Installed mine yesterday during the hot sun beating down on it. With the little sticky stuff already on the back it jumped into place. Just a little adjusting and it looked pretty cute.

I'd post a pic, but I need to get back to mowing the lawn before the heat sets in.

These eyes are a little bigger, but check out the decal this guy came up with! It's a little more than my conservative nature (the one I didn't realize I had!) wants to do to my car, but...

I like the roof graphic. I've already bought the "move over" decals! (Im)patiently awaiting it now...

I so like the roof graphic of the batteries ( + and - ).

His decals are really inexpensive, and he's a Mini enthusiast himself so...very friendly. As soon as my new decals arrive, I can talk about their quality, too (I'm betting, anyway.)
