Mini Cooper (car)

It's a Spanish site, but the layout looks nice. :)

Mini Cooper (car)That was my first guess but since I already got 'Surf Controlled' once today it's best I not push it.

Hate to be negative but don't get too comfortable with the site.
BMW AG once they see it will issue a cease and desist order.
You can't use the name Mini in your domain name.
I've seen it happen before.

Bull****, mini what? They cannot own the word mini, apple has the mac mini, and I'm sure theres tons of other ones.

If it was bmw-mini or bwmmini or somthing similiar I'd suspect, but there is no direct infringments of rights, and it would be bad publiclity.

Yeah, I'd say that the domain name alone they couldn't touch. But, if you're using that domain name, and it also happens to be about their product, they could sue. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Doesn't mean they'd win. And like Zachery said, bad publicity.

The layout is nice. But I have very sensitive eyes and the contrast hurts..

BMW regards trademark enfringments very seriously. Just a FYI. I don't really care what people do.
Remember this thread? eBay, ShmeeBay!

It didn't take eBay long.

Back on topic.
I too think there is too much contrast.
I'd probably change cmps_index.php to index.php and why is there a '?' at the links in the url.

Well, thanks for the comments anyway.

About the name of the domain, there is no problem. Mini Spain is aware of that and no problem by them, no problem for me either. I donīt think is not allowed to register that name... mmm

About the contrast, itīs true it might hurt a little bit, but just at the beginning. I think it looks very elegant in general. I have some changes in mind, but they will take my time.

What do you mean with .... I used their real logo? Where?

Thanks to all

They were talking about ShmeeBay, which used Ebays logo, which is why Ebay came down on them so hard.
