S2 Elise colours..
Re: S2 Elise colours..
Persian Blue with black wheels, trim etc. But then I am biased. And I would then not have the only one that colour in Scotland.......go for yellow.....or buy mine in the Spring....Must stop drinking the wine and get some sleep....Hic...

Signature Orange with black bits - same as Stu's V6



Re: S2 Elise colours..
Agree liquid yellow with black highlights would be my favourite now, burnt orange as runner up.van cleef wrote:Renault liquid yellow for me as it looks great in the sunlight.
New Exige in liquid yellow with nice attention to detail.

Always been a sucker for a Type 49 (but with black wheels not gold)

Good shout - classic Lotus coloursVictor Meldrew wrote:If it was me.. I would go for a type 25 green, single yellow stripe, but a matt black roll bar cover as per the latest sports racers. The Matt black roof panel will bring it right up to date looks wise, and the type 25 always fetch a premium.. might be able to tag onto a little of the hype around one of those...
And if you are getting it sprayed you may as well throw on a wing from a supercharged variant at the same time.
Wheels and under tray away for powder coating black.... Job done..
I am pretty sure that if you speak to Craig he would be able to source you the correct stickers for it... Type 25 replica ish.. now that would sell...

I'd go for krypton/toxic green or orange and hope it stands out enough that people won't driving in to it again.

Re: S2 Elise colours..
The liquid yellow Exige looks fantastic!
The type 49 colours could work with a nice deep metallic red to be different (and then the white and gold as a wrap).
How about Skoda Race Blue or VW Deep Blue pearl? Both stunning colours close up that deserve to be seen on something sporty instead of the frumpy hatchbacks they always grace.

Re: S2 Elise colours..
Latest thinking is keep it the same colour and spend the cost difference on a bit of a mechanical refresh too, I feel it makes more sense as it will still get a full respray so be nice and fresh, just had the shocks refurbished so I'll try and get the other odds and sods hit up like the belts, C service, water pump, Thermostat and housing etc etc done too, new boots and pads at some point too

Re: S2 Elise colours..
The mighty Moncrief and I had a chat at length this afternoon about the various options, I actually quite like the colour it is, thinking was make it mire desirable with the colour change butto fe fair, a full fresh paint and fresh mechanicals should add value anyhow.Andy G wrote:That's almost sensible chat - who's hacked your account
