Happy Birthday to Me!

I'm another year older at the end of the week, and Karen has excelled herself in terms of a present this year

Still waiting on a black diffuser, and undecided on powdercoating these wheels, or getting exige rims.

Nice!

Karen!

I like the tape on the head light, that'll come in handy when the indicator pops out....

Do you have it yet?

Man that colour looks awesome! Very nice!

Those wheels are growing on me too.

Its got the sport pack - exige springs/dampers, oil coolers and traction control, which Mr Robertson has kindly tarted up with a bespoke interior.

I've not seen it yet as it's still at the factory.

Should get it in a couple of weeks

Like it a lot - lovely colour

Does that mean that Kermit is no more?

Top work and in great colourway! What colours the interior?

Derek,
I think you gotta get the wheels done in black.
You should also get the factory to colour code the grills!

I agree definately go with black wheels. Love that colour but I would never be brave enough to go for it.

The nuclear green car is going, but Kermit will be subjected to a sunbed or 2 if he wants to blend in and live on the back window of the new car.

Interior is black leather, with orange stitching and orange lotus logo. Think low-key pimp my ride.

Wheels - yes will get them powdercoated, but still thinking of Exige wheels - will decide when I see the car.
I think coding the plastic may be a bit OTT

Actually we went in with the intention of buying the white exige, but Graeme was out in a test drive with it at the time, and had sold it by the time he came back. It was a real busy Saturday at MMC. Delighted with what we've gone for though.

For black wheels.
Got a yellow one last month and had the wheels sorted before I picked it up - well worth it. Really lifts the car. Everything is either yellow or black - works well and definitely a talking point when people see it for the first time.

Looks bloody nice Derek

BTW, Exige wheels on Andy G's 111R look very nice

You'll like those tyres if you keep those wheels. They were really good at KH on Sat
