I was thinking the same, ab or lb...

I ended up choosing laser blue... If astro black was a true black, I'd definitely have gone with it, but the Laser blue just stands out so much more.

These two pics threw me over the edge.......

Wow im speechless. Your car is fantastic. Thats laser blue? In the sun it looks sometimes more greenish. But it looks awesome with the black roof. I was thinking about a white roof but the black one looks really good.

I have some pics of my laser blue Mini in my gallery if you're looking for more pics. Mine has a white roof but I think they look really good with a black roof.

Only laser blue has a lightening to the shade of blue! I must say, there has to be something wrong with your monitor



Lightning Blue is awesome!
