Custom Shades
You might want to consider HeatShield for shades (URL below). They make custom shades for boats,cars and aircraft (lots of aircraft). The ones they made for my Countryman fit perfectly. and were less expensive than OEM.

Prototype time!
My prototype is in! Check it out!
I decided to go with "The Rock" expression for this one. It's one of my favorites.
The new sunshade next to my first, hand-painted OEM version. Quite the improvement!
As you can see, the new shade folds up similarly to the OEM shade. It is a bit less bulky too.
So there it is. To my delight, the vinyl has attached very, very well to the sunshade! Better yet, it's folding along with it just like it's a part of the shade. Everything is looking fantastic and I can see these being created for you guys very soon. I'd like to give it a little time in the sun to be sure, but I'm excited to see some more designs printed and some other MINI's rocking the shades! Thanks for all of your support everyone!

No, they don't really publish them. But, thanks to a quick Google search, I just found all the ones I needed. Should be good to go with any color you guys throw at me!

That's funny... I had started to post a question about matching colors but decided close was good enough and didn't want to sound too picky. Then shortly after that you post about matching colors using hex codes. It' going to be so much fun when we finally get these.
