Never seen that type combo, but I'm sure a quick photoshop trick would do it.

Mellow Yellow Cooper with JCW Aero kit installed???

Does any MY Cooper Owner got JCW Aero Kit installed already?
If could, plese post your photos here.
I been searching on the internet and seems only wasted my times.

Allow me ask another question,
Do I have to change to 17" wheel in order to fit the kits?

Still waiting for my MY/B baby! For me, there was no other colour consideration than MY. Yellow is my favourite colour and I am replacing one yellow car with another. I have had way too much fun with my 2003 Ford Focus (Egg Yolk Yellow). Just being next to a mini makes me that much happier!

Oh The Wait!!!!

Totally agree, today I drove my MY Cooper to gas station, and it caught so many people attention. I am glad made the right decision between Chilly Red and Mellow yellow when I ordered it. I am not saying Chilly red bad, actually every color that MINI carry are all fantistic, but just for myself, I can't take my eyes off when I first saw MYC motoring on the high way.

By the way, does anyone owns or had seen Coopers with JCW areo kits installed and happen to have photo can share with me? I am thinking getting it, the dealer quote me $2700 including labor cost. Is it about right price?

Do a search for Mellow Yellow, there is one that always comes up with black wheels.

Mine (MY/B with Aero kit) just got off the trailer at the dealership - I'll post some pics after I replace the wheels and get the window's tinted.

That is exactly what I did! I had a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 in egg yoke yellow and I've upgraded to a mellow yellow MCS. I get to see my old Focus everyday though - My neighbor has it now!

First I wanna thanks for all of you who posted that amazing picture of MCS with JCW kit installed. But maybe I didn't make it clear that what I wanted to take the reference is the COOPER (none-S) with Areo kit.

I personally own MC, and wanted to install JCW areo kit, but don't know if this set will be looked good on it. I searched all the website, seems only MINI offical website in Taiwan has two snap shots of COOPER with JCW. Unfortunetly, it werent that clear.

But still, those pictures you guys provided are fantastic.

OKAY, let me answer my own question.
I just found that MINI release series of JCW accessories including interior and exterior. Below are the pictures I found with MINI COOPER(non S) with JCW Kit

Yellow beetle to Yellow mini.
Here is my wife's New mini. she does not miss her beetle at all
we bought it about 2 weeks ago and installed DIY clear bra last weekend.
this car is dangerous for me. (today, I drove first time on the highway and I did not feel that I was going 95 miles). I can't get speeding tickets anymore

Wanted:

Photo of MY/B w/ bonnet stripe, driving lights, black scoop *and* tinted windows. No chrome.

Minor alterations to this (yellow scoop, no driving lights, non-tinted windows) are acceptable only in a "what if" scenario.

Major apologies if I missed out on seeing the build as I specified already in this thread.

Thanks in advance!

No name has presented itself as of this time, but I'm sure something will come up.

13,000 and counting. It gets better all the time!

[edit]

Btw, I am looking for the perfect set of black wheels/polished lip, to install on this baby. Any more out there with that combo, other than the ones posted earlier? I am starting to settle into some of the styles, I'm just not sure I have seen them all.

Motor on!

I know most of you here got the mellow yellow. I'm considering getting an MCS and I really like the MW color. How is it day to day? Am I gonna get laughed at? Does the color look good in person? i was thinking black roof and stripes

The other color I'm considering is Laser Blue.
