Welcome. They all look nice whatever the colour. You won't regret it. Standard 240 or uprated?

Don't rush to track it. Just be careful and get to know the car. It seems you've got Yokos. Be careful when it's really wet.

Glad you got your car, they are fantastic.

stunning car. Black makes them look fantastically sinister. Cant wait to collect my exige next month. Have you thought of joining NYLOC? I havn't joined up yet but did run into a few members at JCT600 a few months ago and they seemed really nice guys. I think they have a meet this tuesday.

Thank you! Your post really did help with my decision so thank you very much for that. It's a standard 240 with the 260 upgrade and Ohlins suspension, it's pretty much a 260 cup without the extinguisher and external cut off I think. It's got R888 on at the moment which are also as lethal in the wet from what I've heard. This is a second car though so any wet running will be pure misfortune and I'll take it very stead.

Thank you, I completely agree! I've already ordered a Batman keyring for it biggrin

I have registered on Nyloc but I'm not sure I'll pay for the full membership yet. I'll hopefully get to the Nyloc meet this Tuesday though! I've signed up on Seloc and their forum is more open which I prefer.

Congrats, that's a great looking car.

I adored my Starlight Black S2 Exige. The Batmobile comments were a regular occurrence!

It was about £7 from Amazon, well worth the money! It's got a light in the feet as well to help for harness application in the dark.
