    Posted: May/22/07 at 2:01am

For those of you who are new(er) to PS MINI, like I am, about a year ago there was a post on the forums about how to get those super keen wheel well eyes for your MINI.  I was able to get in contact with the vendor, who is willing to give us a group rate if we order 10 or more of the eyes!!  Normally, they are $25 each set + $4.05 for S&H, but she is willing to give us a $10 discount for 10 or more!  And if she ships them together, we can split the $4.05 S&H fee! 

If you are interested, please see go to her website to check out the 17 different eyes you can get for your beloved MINI (I'm getting #6!!).  http://www.rogueminis.com/3.html

For those who don't know what the wheel well eyes are, here's a peek at what they look like...

Let me know if you want to wake up your MINI with a new set of eyes, and I will be happy to coordinate the order!

I'd be interested. 

I must be a bit off in the head, I was hoping for something cross-eyed .  Oh, well... SKOG will have to look mean.

Yay!! My first taker!!

Oh, and there's nothing that says you have to place them as intended!  I suppose you could switch them or put them on upside down?  Once you have them in your hot, little hand it's totally up to you to decide how you want to put them on!

You can probably put them on backwards, but if you look carefully, the indents that the eyes sit in are almost egg shaped with a flat spot on the bottom, so coming up with the cross eyed look may take a little work with some scissors or an exacto knife...

Here are some shots of Dracos eyes.

Darn.  I just got some from my wonderful MINI friends in VA. 

I do wish they were a little happier though.

Actually, I think they are red.  But I will double check with the vendor and get back to you.

The #10 eyes are red... but an orangish-red!  Here is the response from the vendor...

Subject: Re: PS MINI Group Buy for Eyes

sweet! that was quick. As for the Red eyes, they are indeed red but it is the hardest color to print so they do have a good deal of orange in them but lean towards red. The same goes for the Red Dragon eyes.
We also have a few colors that we don't have examples of which are a really nice Dark Purple for the purple haze MINIs and a Dark Blue which are stealthy but look awesome on any of the dark Blue MINIs.
thanks again

That sounds great! I'm all for making MiniMork as agressive as possible (under the hood of course).

Thanks for checking on that for me! I am in!

#8 for Sanderskog.  ALthough I really do wish they had something a little more light hearted.  I'm torn on having one custom done.

Sanderskog, I will put you down as a tentative #8 for now.  You will have all weekend to decide if you want the custom eyes, or go with the Baby Blues!!  I don't envy your position.

I just talked to Emily (the vendor) and she said that she will give us the group rate with the 7 that we already have.    I have heard interest from other members but they haven't posted anything yet.  So I am giving them until Tuesday, and then I will close this group buy.

I will go ahead and pay for it upfront, and then let you all know what you owe.  Once I get your payment I will mail your eyes.  Yay!!!

If you have any questions or want to change your order, just let me know by Tuesday, June 19th!!

Thanks,
Juli
