Yellow and Blk is a great color combo. Like gokartrid said, there are tons of red ones.

That is a very nice choice!!! I think solid roof colors are probably the most flexible should you want to do stripes or some other graphics in the future. Would you be getting the yellow colorline?

MY got a little too orange for my taste - I really liked the LY. But there are too many CR Coopers - go yellow. There was a MY/B MCS with lightning bolts at my dealer when I got Lewis - looked like a badass bumblebee. I think a smiley face is perfect for a MINI, though.

My MY MINI has a black roof. I would have preferred a yellow roof. So my vote is for MY/MY, with the smiley face on top.

I vote for red, but if you get yellow, I'd say go for yellow with a white or yellow roof.

Which is funny because lots of owners (including here on NAM) begged for a yellow w/ more orange in it. Ya can't please everyone, I guess. I will say the lot up at the MINI dealership is a lot happier when a Mellow Yellow MINI happens to be around.

I agree about the yellow, a little too checker cab yellow for me. I liked the older LY better as well. If my choices were between yellow and red, it would have to be red (of course with white roof), even though I told myself once, I'd never own another red car.

Why does everyone poke fun at the yellow cars? Remember this: when you go shopping at a mall, or a big shopping center, amidst the sea of red, green, black, white, silver and gray cars, which one stands out the most? The Mellow Yellow baby!
