Looks great! I think you're the first I've seen with 18" black wheels!

 

I really don't get the unpleasant comments about other people's colors. It's not really in keeping with the spirit of NAM or MINI. A little joshing is one thing, but when somebody's brand new to the board, it's really easy to interpret a little bit of joshing as a plan old negative comment.

I almost went with Pure Yellow myself, albeit with a black roof. I liked the bee vibe. I didn't get any sense of green when I saw it in person, both indoors and in full sun.

 

Well, as the person who said acid green to begin with - - - it was just an observation on the strange nature of the color. If anyone took it as a serious slam, I'm sorry. But as noted later, most all the CM colors are odd. They take some getting used to and they get comments. It's just another thing that makes CMs unique. They're English, designed by Germans, and painted by Austrians. What's not to love?

Sealy - Who appreciates the odd - including a Pure Orange named Zaftig

 

In my defense you never said it was yours, you just posted a picture, sorry if I offended you, however if you changed the wheels to anthracite it would make a world of difference.

 

Sealy - your first "acid green" post made me laugh out loud. I didn't think it was mean spirited at all. I'm sure I going to get plenty of comments that my cosmic blue isn't very cosmic blue at all. Just like your PR looking PO.

I thought it was pretty funny anyway. Apologies to all if you think I'm promoting rudeness, not my intent.

the winter set are Dunlop M3 - take off from an E90. Work tremedously in snow, that same day I drove round the cubmaster who got stuck in his F150 - if only I had a rope I would have attempted to pull him out

The wheels they are mounted on are not exactly the right offset (they poke out a bit ) but I think they look pretty good (apart from BMW roundel I need to replace)

 

I can say this as a proud Yelllow owner, in certain light the color reminds me of baby puke

BMW group has a habit I think of think of funky colors as Sealy so rightly pointed out in a previous post - saw a blue (cant recall which) CM and my wife remarked that it looked like they lobbed in some brown

Don't get me started on the metallic pee colored M3...

 

I keep looking at the Bright Yellow for my CM, but one thing that has held me back in my Hot Orange MCSc. There were a few times on impulse I nearly traded it in on a non-Mini. Each time the dealers took money off of the trade for having an orange car. The MINI dealers gave me extra for being a sought after and rare color. So I guess if I did go with Bright Yellow I might still be limited to Mini Trades and enthusiasts.... not a bad thing

 

Nice to get a CM owner's view of the Dunlop performance winter tire..may now go with those in the 3d (slightly off-size). Digging your wheels on it, nice work...appreciate you posting Bring on the snow!

 

Here's my Bright Yellow, finally in my driveway.

 

I just had these rear stripes added to my CM. I think it is just what it needed. There's a guy here at Orlando Mini that does an amazing job with virtually any customization you could want.

 

Haha, I think I found my twin brother here! I have the same color combo as yours. What color liner did you pick? Mine is polar beige.

 

Love the Bright Yellow! Was going to go for it, but got the Pure Red instead. Looks great all!

 

OOOH, this looks like the combo I got except that I got the anthracite wheels! So excited to see some pictures. I love the yellow but there aren't many photos out there of them!

 

I think the yellow looks "green" in some photos due to white balance on the pictures. Yellow is highly influenced, unlike say brown or red.

 

I know this is over a year old, but big

LOVE yellow and love those white wheels on it.

 

^^That is the happiest countryman I've ever seen. Adorable!

 

OMG, this is my twin except with white wheels!!! How did you get those! i didn't see them on the online selector!!!!

 

Love the yellows! I really thought about it but the other half just gave me a raised eyebrow. That was enough of a warning that I did not push it...

 

A new member of the Bright Yellow Owners club; at least a probationary member as we placed our order today. Black roof and bonnet stripes, cold weather package, sport package, 18" anthracite wheels, black leather interior and rear bench seat.

Pics to follow in 6 - 8 weeks, cannot wait.

 

Very cool! Welcome. I was dusting bright yellow pollen of my Surf Blue CM today (it's full-on Spring here) and I was thinking that I probably wouldn't be nearly as bothered by the stuff if I had gotten the bright Yellow!

 

Another new member here. Ours is a Cooper, looks just like the OP photo, including the wheels. Name is Mini Y.

White wheels will be hard to keep clean, but they look great. I was disappointed the VPC or dealer installed a front license plate holder, even though we don't have front plates in New Mexico. So I put on a black Cooper plate and ring. Looks classy.

 

I have grown very fond of the Bright Yellow.... not as nice as the millennium yellow that was on my '02 Corvette, but still I like different colors. Had I figured out how he/she was able to get white tunnel spokes, I might have ordered the Bright Yellow.

Joined the club and tinting work pending.

I really like the color and awesome handling...

 

Nice! I really like the yellow with the black roof and mirrors.
