R55 Laser Blue Clubman Owner's Club

About time someone started a thread on Laser blue clubman. I am still waiting for mine.Is it me or the photos do not do the Laser blue justice as I was torn between this color and Lightning Blue but my wife loves this color more. Every time I see Laser blue in pictures/photos on the web it frightens me but when I see it in person I fall in love with the color too. So is it just me or the color?

Regardless, we love it and would choose it all over again, but the key to capturing it's true beauty in pictures might be in shooting it early or late in the day avoiding the bright glare of the sun. I need to try that out soon and post here, but for sure, count me in!

+1 for pictures not doing it justice!!!
Galileo just got a bath this weekend (dear hubby was bored while I was napping...think I need to do that more often! ). I really need to try to get a few shots while he's still sparkling so bright! Stops me in my tracks everytime.
I'm especially loving the interaction of the silver and laser blue. When I first looked at the Clubman in the configurator, I was iffy about the C-Pillars being a contrasting color and just didn't think any of them looked right. But now that I see Galileo everyday...and I saw the NFR/S Clubman driving down the road yesterday...they TOTALLY make the car!!!
(Oh, and I'm definitely attracted to all things sparkly )

I managed to snap 4 pictures of "Laser Blue Ray" or just Ray for short while the wife and I were picking him up at the dealership (check out my gallery). While the pics were not planned, they do show the laser blue in different light conditions and how it changes. I think it is such a reflective color, that when caught using a flash or in bright direct sunlight, it tends to reflect so much that it washes out the color. Photos look better without a flash and in more diffuse light conditions. I have intended to take more pictures, the only problem is every time I go out to take them, I end up driving it instead.

Not too many Laser Blue Clubman (Clubmen?) here it appears. Ours is in production now. We should see it early Nov we're told. That's about what our 07 Mellow Yellow MCS took. Does it appear Laser Blue is a bit less popular than the other colors? We certainly have a very slow Owner's Club thread going. I wonder how much of it has to do with the afore mentioned color/photgraphing issues? As stated, the color looks WAAAAY better in person! Makes an even bigger difference than the Sparkling Silver, which also looks very different in person.

I dont think that many are out there because the pics of this color are no good. Every time someone sees ours they love the color. A couple people I talked to said they didn't order it because they did not get to see the color in person. Once they see the color in person they want to order it.

Hi all:
Anxiously awaiting my LB Clubby as it sails over the pond for a 10-18 arrival in the states! I, too, have wondered why the pics don't seem to represent LB accurately and I thought... gee, should I have gone with a different color? Thanks to all for reassuring me that I remember my reason for choosing it correctly.
I can't wait!

I feel your pain, waiting for a spot on a ship... Mine is nearing the US now, with just a couple of days left in its voyage and I can hardly take it as I count the days for it to finish transport to dealer and get are shiny for me.
Damn those engineers for not finding a way to teleport our cars right to us from the assembly line!
