yellow/white, yellow/black, or all yellow???

I need your subjective opinions on a color choice.

I was originally going for yellow/black but that's the color for most initial delivery cars in U.S.

So I am also considering yellow/white or all yellow.

I am kind of worried y/w may be too light or all yellow may be un-mini-like.

What's your personal opinion?

You are definitely correct about the Yellow Black combo - Very popular, but that is because it is a good combo.
How 'bout this...
Yellow/Yellow/Chex

This is me standing by a Yellow/White...
Yellow/White

OR....Yellow on Yellow (looks sharp!)


Yellow/Yellow

It's all up to you my friend Good Luck

I was happy to see your post as I have been going through the same dilimma trying to decide on color.

Road & Track and Motor Trend magazines both feature the MINI and MINI Cooper S on their covers in yellow/white.

I just placed my order for a yellow/white S.


A friend does not like yellow at all. I have been told yellow/white looks like an egg yolk. Yellow/black looks more masculine-a more masculine bumblebee.!

Good luck deciding.
Thank you minicoopersgirl for the photos.

Mine's yellow/yellow too....I quite like white roof as well, but as I went for rather wild colour for interior(tartan red-see my thread My Cooper has arrived - unusual colour combo?), I did not want crashing colours.

Anyway, take your time, cos I think it is all part of fun...

Thanks to Minicoopersgirl and hiro for the pics.

As luck would have it, as soon as I hit the submit button on this thread, I received a call from awesome and helpful Chrystal (Sterling VA MINI).

I had to make a choice right then and there ..... arrgghh!

So here it goes...

All yellow S with MFSW, PDC, Xenon, DSC, front fogs, OBC, and cold weather.
Now, don't make fun of me for getting PDC - I thought it was good investment although I never ran into any poles yet.

hiro, I would not be adventurous enough to go with red interior even if the option available... you are very twisted but I like your taste.

Now, only thing I have to come up is name for my car.
I am a big fan of Japanese animation so I am tossing around names from my fave anime in my head now (motoko, mahoro, or chikage)...

Cooper S with Cold weather, Fog lamps, MFSW, DSC, PDC, Xenon, OBC, BMP intake, All Liquid Yellow.

I like both, but my vote's for Yellow/Black. It gives a more masculine and aggressive appearance.

Happy Motoring!

I don't like the yellow black , and the all yellow is good looking.
But I would go for the yellow/white and give myself the option for a roof decal.
