Well all the pictures in this thread are of the laser blue....

You may be looking at a laser blue one in a different area of the site, but with laser blue it's really tricky because depending on the way the light hits it, it could like brighter or darker....

It was not hard at all and I am confident that I could do it again. I do have to confess that one of the hood stripes is slightly off, but only I can see it.

I measured for alignment, taped the stripes down with the backing in place and then did half at a time peeling the back off and wetting the hood and stripe with 40% distilled water and 60% alcohol. Using the included squeege removed the bubbles and some of the remaining bubbles disappeared in a couple of days.

Your stripes look quite awesome. If you don't mind my asking, where did you get your boot stripes from?

This is great! I now have more examples of what my new MINI will look like. It is being formed today, due for completion on the 20th.

It's especially nice to see the Laser Blue with the Chrome line exterior. I didn't really get a good idea of that before I ordered it.
