Don't get the black wheel centre caps from Ebay. They were sh!t and the wrong size. I got mine from a guy on Exiges.com. The nose badge is identical to the official Lotus one and the wheel centres are excellent. I also got an extra wheel badge which fits nicely on the steering wheel:

PM me and I'll send you the guy's email address if you like.

I did my calipers on the Elise. Will get round to doing them on the Exige sometime too. Black caliper paint kit from Halfrauds and silver hammerite for the Lotus lettering. Paint the whole thing black then put a bit of silver on a piece of cardboard and press onto the Lotus lettering:

Better late than never and not my best work... but you get the idea Woody....

If you have a browse about on Sel*ock, you'll find a few pics of titty cars with black wheels I'm sure....

Cheers mate

Have been to powdertec as well now, and they can't match the Victory grey either... so It looks like good old spinner cone black might be a real possibility.

I reckon get the spokes powdercoated black but leave the rims silver, fancy doing that on my S1
