S2 Elise colours..

Post by mwmackenzie » Sun Feb 14, 2016 10:38 am

Hi all,

My car is going in for repair and paint next week, part of me, the daft part, I know.. is thinking of a full colour change.... My thinking is with the car being a leggy previous CAT D making it a little different from std might make it more desirable to any potential buyers in the future, that and the fact that I can lol...

What colour is your favorite on a Lotus? I've done dark grey to death with my S1 and Esprit, so thinking of breaking the mould on this one, or maybe not lol..

Anyway, I'm needing inspiration so please post some pics below of your favorite car colours regardless of make :thumbsup

:cheers

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...
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

The Passion red is nice Tut. always liked that, I think I would go for the Honda Imola orange if I was to do a change of colour though, or Champ white.
