To clear up any confusion, here is a color swatch of all the blues that I know of! If I missed any, let me know!

dittin,

if it isn't too much trouble, can you mock up another design for me? i'm pretty sure i'm going with the original "nervous" eyes you designed, but i was curious as to how the squinty/shifty eyes would look. this is the closest picture i could find. could you do one with the eyes looking forward and one with the eyes looking to the side? i'm not sure if it will look much different than "sleepy".

eyelids: "lighter" midnight black
iris: silver

You missed one, Oxygen blue. '07 - ? COOPER non S models. Oh and Space blue 2006 Checkmate models. And if you really want to count it as blue the Thunder blue on all MINI GP's.

Hey Dittin, would you do playful in chili red with blue eyes so I can get a better idea of how it will look?

Thanks

i just ordered one for the 2012 Convertible Lightning Blue, sleepy with purple eyes. Hope that will look ok. Kind of hard to imagine without having the car yet. I have one of the old State Farm eyeshades for my Clubman, but thought I'd start the new car out right with a set just for him. Hopefully the eyes will be more on the violet side.

Hm, it seems I missed several blue MINI's! I've added Reef Blue, True Blue, Oxygen Blue, Space Blue, and Thunder Blue.

It's hard for me to tell since I don't have my car in person yet, but from the pictures I've seen and the paint chip from MINI, I think jcw666 might be right.

BTW, Eyeshades/Dittin, you are doing an AMAZING job! Your designs are all great looking- I can't wait to have one!

Thanks, RallyCat! I appreciate that!

I looked up some laser blue MINI's to see what the laser blue looked like and I agree that the code I have for that one doesn't quite match up. So I created my own to match as closely as I thought I could get. Here's what I came up with:


How's that?

So, in anticipation of getting both my MINI (I pick her up tomorrow!) and my shade, I put this together:

Here's a different color scheme for the wicked witch eyes:

Volly got together with some of his friends this weekend at the Royal Gorge in Southern Colorado. Naturally, he was rocking his Eyeshades.

Great ride through the gorge.

Hey I can almost see my other house from there!

Didnt even know you guys where going down. Ah, it was my Army weekend anyhow.

Volley is looking good, too bad the other MINI's in the pic arent as enthusiastic.
