Eyeballed!

I was talking to someone a while back at a local MINI meet and the mentioned that a lot of people got "eyeballed" at the Dragon '04 meaning that they had eyeballs (vinyl, metallic or ceramic stickers) that fit in the OOs in Cooper on the boot. Anyone know if they are still available somewhere?

Cooper Contacts at www.motorswag.com

You are talking about "Cooper Contacts" ... here is a link to the vendor section announcements:

Googly eyes! You can find them at most craft stores in various sizes.

Nope, not talking Cooper Contacts. I have those. I am talking about eyeballs that fit in the OOs on the Cooper on the boot. Anyone heard of those?

This? I thought gotmini.com had them, but I was wrong. They sell the "sport" emblem.

I didn't even know about the eyeballs! But since I have removed the badges, there is nowhere for them to fit.

A set of those might convince me to put the badges back on!

You can get the smaller ones at Walmart in the craft section. They just sit in the O's Sunnie got eyeballed sometime in the last month. They look pretty funny

Walmart? Wait a minute, this is a MINI. It has to be hard to find and expensive. Oh well, a welcome change. I am off to Walmart to find my eyeballs....in the craft section.

By the way, could you post some pictures of your eyballed MINI?

glassdarkly, "ltlyelo," an early member of this site was the first person I ever saw do that with his Cooper. I believe he painted the eyeballs.

Cooper Contacts

Slight Thread Hijack
Does MiniSwag still exist? I have emailed a question over 2 weeks ago, placed an order with paypal payment and not been requested to pay and emailed an inquiry regarding the order late last week with no response. Is anybody out there?
End Hijack

Believe they are the 10mm size in the craft section at Wal-Mart. They just slide in and friction fit.
