R56 The Official Mellow Yellow Owners Club
#176
If there wasn't a choice on a second color, I would not have picked an all-yellow car. But I love the contrast with the yellow and black. Several people have told me it looks like a yellow jacket. I think it looks better in person than what I had seen in photos before I ordered mine.
I think you'll be happy with either choice. Lightning blue would have been my second choice.

In person better than you can imagine. Owned "Cooper" 4 months now, and never get tired of the color. In fact, some guy took a photo of it today in traffic.

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.

Well i don't want a conservative color because the mini is stylish and I wan it to stand out. My choices are MW, Laser Blue and Chili Red. Pepper white is nice too, but gives a little different look. I wasn't sure if a week after getting the car I'd wake up and regret getting a color as aggresive as MW.

Other than some folks who've done a ton of modifications to the car, I haven't seen a MINI that I didn't like. (But MY/B's look best! )

Hey all... my wife and I ordered a MY/White Top and Stripes MCS in October, and it should be here in the next week or two.
She REALLY wanted liquid yellow, but as you all know, it is no longer offered. Of course, with the high resale and low volume we have had a tough time finding one used for her. We went with new and MY.
Her favourite colour is yellow, and she loved the LY. She doesn't like "schoolbus" yellow, so we are hoping that isn't what it gets to. We have seen one at the dealer, and of course, some photos on the web that never do the real thing justice. Also, occassionally one nearby. But the "live" ones were with a black top. We are hoping (me for her and my sanity) that the white additions tone it down.
So, as soon as we have it, we will take and show pictures! Thanks.

She will not be disappointed in MY. My MY MCS has black racing stripes & black roof. I have yet to see another one in Denver area. However, this morning I did have another Cooper pull along side me for awhile & it was yellow w/white roof - was pretty neat as we drove down Wadsworth side-by-side !!
In closing - Have had my MY MCS 4 months now, and still think it's a great color combo.

MY color looks much more like a YELLOW CAB (have pulled up along side and compared). However, remember 2 things: 1) School Bus often has a white roof, and 2) Cabs are all yellow. So Mini's are unique, unless you opt for no tripes and a solid color (in which case you might consider a FORD ).

It would be fun to drive along side your MY!!

Wow, your Cooper is loaded. I didn't go that far, but do have the "S" + Sport Edition.
Photo is Cooper & Daisy (she has since passed away from Cancer 9/19).
I have not been to Parker in ages. We used to bicycle from Lakewood to Parker. Maybe I could drive down on a SA/SU (ThksG wkend?), and we can tool around SE of Parker on the open roads. Drop me a private message here.

3x Cooper
Cooper the Golden looks great !! If your Cooper needs to get-away, he'd be welcome at our place any wkend. Just don't live on Cooper Ln.

Our MY/BL has a Bee theme too including a bee Whalen ****, decals in back windows and antenna ball but her name is Saffron.

We had a lightning blue/white MCS and now have a laser blue/white but my very close runner up choice was the Mellow Yellow/Black. I actually placed my order as a MY/B initially before I had second thoughts. I still think it looks awesome, but my mind always went to an image of a taxi cab... I love the laser blue, but MY/B is great. Would have no regrets either way.

Who could get sick a Mellow Yellow?
When I bought my Xterra in 1999 people constantly asked how long it would take for me to get tired of the yellow. Here it is, almost eight years later and I still love the yellow of my truck.
I love it so much, in fact, that when it came time to add a Mini to the family, the choice was clear: Mellow Yellow all the way!

No offense, but I don't care for the Xterra yellow or what Ford offers on some of its cars. It's just too bright for my taste. Your Mini looks fabulous, however.
#198
And to the poster up a ways, a MY/MCS is definitely not a "schoolbus" in any way shape or form!
#199
Thanks for the compliments on the Mini, I've posted it in this thread before and more picks in my gallery. We just added new center caps to the wheels which are black and sport the Mini wings logo in MY. Aesthetic Creations matched the color perfectly, I'll post some pics.

DJKazzer- funny that you have a yellow X- I have a yellow 2000 X and was also always less than fond of the pale yellow that the Mini came in. (Didn't know it was "Liquid Yellow")
Anyway- I'd been leaning toward blue Mini's, then went to the dealer the other night and saw a Mini ('08) in MY for the first time- and fell instantly in love! It just looks so fantastic in MY and I love the white top and strips, so that's what I'm going to go for.
They were closed when I went, so I'm heading back tomorrow to have a closer look.
Always get great comments on the yellow X too- mine has a black "Tonka" label on the blister that people always seem to love. I'm keeping the yellow X untill the body falls apart. (Still looks like new)
