I'm still waiting to see my first Mellow Yellow car besides mine. I had a special order but apparently they ran out of the University of Oregon green for the roof by the time mine went through the shop.

Anyone else with mellow yellow have a problem with paint around the front fog lights? See my thread here for pictures.

Minidrvr, mine also looks like yours and it is brand new week 2 2008. Maybe it is just how they do the MY builds?

The other MY builds at my dealer didn't have the problem or I would have thought the same thing. On the driver side the lower half has good paint with clear on it and then it fades off to that greenish primer.

I would never have noticed it had you not brought it up. They still look yellow unless you look very closely. Should I take a pic of mine?

Sure. I haven't been able to find any that look like mine does. It should be finished today at the body shop and back by the weekend hopefully.

I love that color. I purchased a 07 about a month ago and want the discount and options they throw in so I didn't have a choose on color. I like my Laser Blue, however I like the yellow and peper white better. Maybe my next one will be one of those colors.

I almost got Laser Blue. I made a trip back to my dealer (86 miles) just to stare at the LB in person. Also nearly got the pepper white. By the time I was going back and forth on the color between those 2 and yellow, it was too late and the car was in production.

Anyone have pictures of a MY/B MINI with a chrome blackout with/or joey mod? I'm looking to buy a new MINI in the near future, and I'm trying to narrow down the options... there are just so many.

I'll let you know in a few years when the ice and snow finally melts off it.

I'm soon to be in the MY club. (Though don't tell my 03 CR/W that. He doesn't know he's being traded up, yet. Lol.)

you can just take a picture of your mini with a digital camera and then upload it if you dont have a digital camera you can use a regular film one and just scan it on to your computer.

I too would like to join the MY owner's club. Got Steeler a couple weeks ago and have a great time. No pics yet, want to me-ify Steeler a little before I immortilize him.

Glad to be part of the MINI community. One question. . .how do you get one of those kewl badges? Cut and paste in signature?
