^^^ I'm picturing Austin Powers in that golf cart when I see that MINI sideways in the garage.

Awesome look! Same colors as mine. Who's side skirts\rocker panels? They don't look part of the JCW?

They appear to be JCW to me. You can see the 3 black pieces back by the rear wheels. They are just really reflective, so it appears to be a little different. Of course the owner can let us know

Yes, I agree the black looks familiar but the molding of the paintwork forward of that looks more aero, if you will. Maybe my mind's eye is going blind!

I think is just the high reflectivity playing with your eyes for sure. The owner has done a wonderful job keeping that paint pristine!

I finally made the jump and picked up a used 2008 Cooper S is Laser Blue. Hardly ever see this color so I snapped it up since it's kinda funky. White roof & white mirror caps. First thing I did was take off the scoop and drill out all the blocked up holes in the grill. Not sure what to do next, maybe a CAI.

Love Laser Blue with the white roof. Great color combo.

Thanks! I dig it myself. I was originally looking around for black or pepper white but the laser blue grew on me and I never see any around STL.

Good point. :-D

Love the color too. I love matte paint jobs when they are done right. Must be a bear to keep from looking fingerprinted and stuff.
