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

Quality! Congrats on your new lovely MINI Paul!

KPKalle · Nov 30th, 2006, 12:36 PM

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

wheyaye2 · Nov 30th, 2006, 12:36 PM

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

Curry23 · Nov 30th, 2006, 12:36 PM

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

Hat · Nov 30th, 2006, 12:49 PM

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 · Nov 30th, 2006, 01:30 PM

cool, you got it then

EricTan · Nov 30th, 2006, 01:41 PM

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

Paul · Nov 30th, 2006, 04:11 PM

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.

ScottieCoop · Nov 30th, 2006, 04:37 PM

Laser blue all the way

ajamesj · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:02 PM

Give electirc blue a good clean then take another pic I know what I would pick eh eh

GCoopS · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:05 PM

Rrr, look how its all grown up!

Great comparison Paul!

Paul · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:19 PM

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.

Berthil · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:27 PM

I've seen the Laser Blue in the showroom, it defenitely is much darker then the Electric Blue, a whole different color, I think it's more leaning towards Indy Blue

And it's defenitely less 'electric' then the Electric Blue, looks like the amount of silver in it is much less.

I thought I would very much like the Laser Blue and prefer it over Electric Blue, but after seen it in real life I still like it but prefer Electric Blue. That Electric Blue is just breathtaking at sun-up and sun-down.

Nice comparison, I was planning on doing this myself next week

Paul · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:30 PM

It's nowhere near as dark as Indi Blue was. Wish Indi was still around (or something very close to it), a really dark Blue would be good. (Not Hyper or Lightning either, not quite right for me.

Like my Laser though.

S33BBY · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:46 PM

I like the laser blue. I was never a fan of electric blue.

LMB · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:48 PM

Looks stunning Paul.

supa-dupa-cooper · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:59 PM

Leccy Blue has always been a favourite, and i think the Laser Blue will be a very popular colour in the same way.
