I don't see why not! I'd just have to get a hold of a shade for the Countryman and do up a new template. I'd probably want to get a few more Countryman owners interested though...

Oh and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but do all the MINI's from 2002 to 2011 have the same size windshield?

Having said that count me in:
That's exactly correct, actually. You need to figure in all of those factors for the final price. I'm trying to get you guys a good price on them by doing them in bulk and by finding out how many of you are seriously interested at this time. Seems like a good amount of MINI's will be getting eye sunshades, so here's hoping for a good price on each of them. Oh and I'm not a guy.

I'm definitely interested. I'm partial to "The Rock" because that is apparently a standard facial expression of mine...

2008 MCS
Eyelid: Dark Silver Metallic
Iris: Blue
Expression: The Rock.

I'll commit to at least one right now. My wife's MINI is Pepper White, and I'd like a "cute" look with eyelashes (eye color's not really important).

Thanks,
Scott

MINI sunshades list

Okay guys, I've made a list on my website of those who have expressed interested in the "eyes" shades. This is both for me to keep organized and for you to make sure you're on the list. Remember, the more MINI's signed up for this, the better the price we will be able to get on our order, so tell others! I'm still working on the designs so have some patience while I create each of them. I hope to know the prices soon and will be announcing that when I know more.

Note: These shades will fit all MINI's from 2002 to 2011, except for the Countryman. If Countryman owners are interested in the shade, please let me know and I can look into creating a shade that fits your MINI.

Here is the list link: http://www.artisticreflection.com/MINI_Eyes.html

Hope you have better luck than I. I made a couple of these last month. I'm having a tough time with longevity. I ordered the official MINI sun shade so we'll see if that works better.

Yeah, the problem is that the higher the quality of the sunshade and the material, the higher that makes the cost in the end. My goal is to have high quality materials yet keep the prices in check by making these in bulk. We will see what the price ends up being. My shades are going to be well-made, even if they cost a little more.

I would like one as well. I'm torn between "The Rock" and Lightning McQueen. I would like to see what they look like with the color combination.

Model of your MINI: 2006
MINI color (eyelid color): Dark Silver
Iris color: Lime Green
Expression of eyes: Rock/Lightning McQueen
