Any particular reason why it's that design in the first place?

I mean I wouldn't have something like that for a daily runner but I could see it being a bit of a fun novelty to take to shows and on runs.
It's certainly different, depends on its practical use or if you intend on selling it in the future!

personally, i like it, its cool to be different! and this most certainly is, first i have seen, even on the web to be honest.

must get some attention at meets and shows?- but in my opinion i would get sick of it if it was a daily runner:)

i know i wasnt much help, but i thought ide share my honest opinions:)

It's how i brought it, havn't have the hart to take it off.

It's been like it for so long i don't think i could bring my self to change it now, its become part of it's character. I have a feeling i may get a fair few laughs though, thought i'd test the water in here.

If it was me personally, as soon as I got the car home, the heat gun and white spirit would be out

It's absolutely up to you!!

I love the cow print personally, not so sure on Elvis though :thumbsup:

Do whatever you like, the variety of styles and paintjobs at Mini shows is so much, people aren't going to lynch you for making your own choice :D

if you're going to keep them on, get some evil eye headlights and turn them upside down so it looks like sleep eyes, just like a cow

Remember an old school freind who had an old Fiat Panda once, and he covered the whole interior in fluffy cow print material (black and white) . Its was well cool imo (although as a daily car it might get a bit annoying) I quite like it, not sure how i'd feel driving it everyday though. Why not add more patches to the paint job...maybe turning it into a more artic camouflage look....bit of light blue, grey, black. My mate has done it to his Suzuki 4x4 (samuri type thing) which he green lanes in...it looks great!

I say it looks good but yeah elvis dont look good on it and i say its fine as a daily runabout too as it looks nice and fun but it is all down to personal choice though if you are happy with it as a them then keep it but if say the stickers are starting to peel and you want to change it then change it, but imo youl get more looks and smiles from a mooing mini espicially if you have a moo horn too, soo much fun to be had he he
