White and yellow Cabrio pics needed!

Hey everyone,
Decided to get a cabrio vs. a coupe but... now I'm back at the colour debate.
Do I get a yellow or white convertible. If those of you proud owners of either (or lucky ones with both) can post your pics, I (and everyone on this forum I'm sure) would appreciate it.

Or if you have a white or yellow mini or an opinion what do you like and dislike about the colour or color combinations that you've seen (bonnet stripes, interiors, etc.).

Thanks

If you're not into chrome, I think a black grill improves the look of both white and yellow MINIs.

This is my Pepper White MCC with black grill and aero side skirts. More pics here, here and here. To contrast the white exterior, I chose the darkest available interior -- anthracite trim with no chrome, and black Octagon cloth seats. It looks great with the roof down, but gets very pitch black inside with the roof up (I have interior lighting mods that help).

Woo!

Thanks RKW. Yours is the Pepper white MCC that I've spied on these forums that inspired me to really get one. I was thinking of getting the JCW aero kit though...

Unfortunately I think yours might the only one on this site.
Cool ride though. What size rims?

PS: someone with a yellow cabrio step up!

My rims are 15x7 SSR Competition.

Pepper White cabrio is not at all uncommon. There are three in my neighborhood! (I was first )
A quick search yielded these:
Pepper MCSC with aero kit: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=63842
Pepper White Sidewalk: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=103143
MCSC with blacked grill slats: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=80624

If you are ordering a new car, I believe Mellow Yellow is only available on MCC (non S). Here are a couple of photos from MINI2 forum:

If you could still get the yellow and black leather seats that used to be an option with LY, that looks dynamite. A local club member has one. You could maybe scour the country and find a dealer that still has a LY Cab with Yellow/Black leather cloth seats or find a used one.
I like the PW with aero kit over your two choices.
If you can afford the sidewalk package, the white silver option is now available, if you can wait a while, perhaps they'll not force the sw pkg on you to pick WS.

I've think I've made a decision. Pepper White

Hi thanks for the feedback. I'm going to go with pepper white with aerokit and black interior. Maybe pick up some replica GP rims. It just looks so awesome.

The cars sitting about 1 inch lower than it is in these pictures since I put the M7 Coilovers on

Intense. You are a man (or a woman, I don't really know) who loves his machine.

I have a 2007 Pepper White Sidewalk edition ... no stripes. I'm still amazed by the positive comments that I get from people stopped beside me at a light or walking by the car in a parking lot. EVERYONE loves to just stop and stare at it. It's almost embarassing.
