There's a new Demon in town
You know, there are very few car companies who could pull off a stunt like this. Really, could you see a Honda Fit with Gene Simon's face paint? Or a Nissan Versa with Paul Stanley's ruby red lips across the front grille?

But, slap those face decals on a MINI and oh my god, you're ready to rock 'n' roll with the best of 'em.

That's right: MINI and KISS have teamed up to offer perhaps the coolest MINIs on the road today. All four special edition MINIs are brand new Cooper S Countryman ALL4s decked out to the nines in the band member's all-too-famous face paint masks. The Demon, The Starchild, The Catman, and The Spaceman feature true replicas of the member's makeup mayhem, and each model has all the band member's signatures on the mirror caps. An official custom KISS badge adorns the boot of each Countryman, and you even get a certificate of authenticity from KISS when you drive this rockin' ride home.

As if these hot little Countrymen (Countrymans?) weren't cool enough as is, the rides are currently up for bids on eBay, and all proceeds of this epic sale will go to UNICEF to help children in the Japan emergency efforts.

There are rumours flying around the office that Matt St Pierre and Miranda Lightstone are in a bidding war over The Starchild. Better get your bids in before there's an all-out Sonic Boom over the coolest MINI ever.
