I think I'd be tempted by black on a red exige tbh..... lots of black on it already....

or you could paint the wheels and side scoops etc white and go for white stripes too....

or you could ignore me ...... it's generally the sensible thing to do!!

Right all these stripes have worn me out and my glass is empty so am going to bed before Neil gets back - to dream of stripes

Def black to go with the car

White wheels would be comedy to keep clean!

Ken,
i've just this minute found a lotus exige stripe simulator where you can mix and match colours to see what it looks like.

i cant remember where i got it, but black stripes are lookin good on the red!
