I'm in the Mellow Yellow Club!

Here's my MY. 1 week old and counting the miles.

Premium pkg, hyper sport with sport suspension, color line interior, piano black, chrome interior, anthracite headliner, xenons and fogs, rear fogs, and painted fender flares.

Next.....tint, stripes, 17" black wheels (if I can ever decide on a style)

Sorry I can't upload any pics. I put them in the new R56 group and it won't let me download them again. Still trying to figure this out on how to load pics into my response. The pics are in my gallery.

Can I have membership please?

Deposit last Saturday, picked up on Tuesday. One of two MYs on the lot. Its just crazy, nutty fast, I can't believe it.

I was driving around bored, so I leased a MINI. Took me about 3 min. to decide.

It has sport package and driving lights, that's it.

I saw my car's evil "S" twin parked in my 'hood on Sunday - just next to Wicker Park, in Chicago. It was gone next time we went by...

Here is my new baby Chiquita and her older English cousin "The Blue Streak" on Sunday. Chiquita is currently on a flatbed being taken back to Mini of Omaha because the gas cap would not open. A pair of Channel locks just ripped the black plastic top off the gas cap. A two tined fork looking tool and a pipe wrench just bent the metal under the plastic part of the cap. I may not be "Ahnold" but I'm no pansy, I've never had a gas cap refuse to come off before. This ought to be good. By the way, I love this little car, even with this little glitch.

Mellow yelllow MINI COOPER

Anyone here owns mini cooper got JCW areo kit installed. My cooper is going to deliver next Tuesday and I got so excited already. Read so many thread with everyone's own baby, appreciated each one has their own taste to decorate the car.

Just wondering is it gonna look good if JCW areo kit installed in Cooper?
Do I have to spend another money on the back down tailpipe? Or does it included?

ohohoh....sweet ride, your mini is exactly the one that I have in mind. Nice black wheel match with the black roof top.

could you also share with color tone of your tinted window?
I am struggling with the color recently.

I can share with you what I do know about the tints. The film is LLumar Platinum Plus automotive film, with a 20% tint. As far as I know the color is just black.

More information on Llumar here:

Any Mellow Yellow MCS owners want to trade their stock yellow hood scoop for my JCW carbon fiber hood scoop? I would like to get a little $ in addition to the yellow scoop. Let me know...
