Electric Blue 2002 V Laser Blue 2007

[Paul]

Took some snaps of our cars together, so people can see Electric (dirty!) V Laser (clean) blue next to each other.

[I love MINI, Laura]

Quality! Congrats on your new lovely MINI Paul!

Can you do one with Electric, Laser, Lightning and Indi next please?

The new blue looks spot on. Definitely on my shortlist of colours if I decide to buy a new MINI.

Lovely cars, would have to say the Laser blue wins for me

[Hat]

prefer electric myself. does laser have that almost pearlescent sheen to it that electric had which made it almost change colour in low light?

[rec]

cool, you got it then

[EricTan]

Thanks for doing this Paul, I love the new Laser Blue

The Laser looks much darker when you put it next to Electric, I didn't expect it to be so much darker to be honest. The Laser does change it's appearance in different lights, but probably not so much as Electric, it's similar sort of finish in that it's quite interesting to see in different lights.

Great comparison Paul!

Does doesn't it. It does in real life too side by side like that.

Shows how shifting and moving a few elements a few CMs can make things look so different. The MINI's always looked bigger than other similar sized cars (and so often get compared to bigger cars) and the new model is taking that even further. Too far for some I'm sure.
