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.
