Another Countryman owner here who's interested. Also interested in the double sided. One side original eyes (like your shade), the other side angry eyes.

Model: 2012 Countryman
Mini Color: Surf Blue
Iris Color: Whatever looks good with surf blue (gray maybe?)

So I tried to see what my car would look like and this is what I came up with. I can't wait to get one, this is so cool.

Model : 2011 JCW Hardtop
MINI color (eyelid color): Eclipse Gray with red roof
Iris color: Red I think
Expression of eyes: Eager / playful / prankster

With the Eclipse Gray and red roof, I'm having trouble deciding which colors would look best for lid and iris combo. (See my gallery for a good front view.) I'm thinking that what you did for smitty007 would be good. Most people seem to be looking for angry expressions. I'd like a more eager/playful/prankster type of expression, though. When I look at my MINI, I hear, "Let's go play!"

I'm definitely interested, although I'd have to wait on a price to make a decision :P

Model: '12 MCS Hardtop
Color: Midnight Black
Iris: Red
Expression: Chill/Relaxed, though I wonder what a winking one would look like (I think I saw a request for that)

Oh and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but do all the MINI's from 2002 to 2011 have the same size windshield?
Put me down as one R60 if you can do it.
Cosmic Blue
Brown eyes
Angry grin

I've updated the list again: http://www.artisticreflection.com/MINI_Eyes.html

Make sure that I have your information correct as far as colors and expression. I'll try to get more of the design examples up today too.

We're getting a few more Countryman owners interested so hopefully I'll have enough to be able to do some shades for them as well.

I'm on your list, but the iris color/expression fields are blank. Let's do blue for the iris and "cute with eyelashes" for the expression. Here's my wife's sig picture as a reference:

For yours, I made the irises a blue-green color to compromise.

One more Countryman request here. I would also like two sided. One like my signature and the other angry.

Model of your MINI: 2010
MINI color (eyelid color): Chili Red
Iris color: violet?
Expression of eyes: A slow simmer like Elizabeth Taylor

But knowing how things go and pricing concerns, I could do a black iris with a cutsy feminine look.

Or could even do one asleep, that would be cute, but has to have eyelashes.
