My car arrived at Bell + Colvill yesterday. Richard Dean sent me a few photos of it yesterday, and it is being Zymol-prepped today by John Drake. There are still a few bits to be done to the car, and I'll be travelling to the UK to collect it next Wednesday. Understandably, I'm wetting myself.
Hopefully there are some pictures below (if I've got this hosting thing worked out). A black suede/red stitching Momo is going in there, some harnesses, and a set of the lightweight alloys are being added. I'm trying to track down a pair of carbon-fibre side intakes.
I haven't decided on stripes yet. I definitely want stripes or a noseband or something, and would appreciate any ideas or feedback. Particularly is anyone is handy with a photo editor. As things stand, I'm going to buy a couple of rolls of tape and have a play to see what looks nice enough to be added permanently. I was thinking about graphics in red or grey. Any ideas?
Edit - Crap! Those picture are tiny. I'll try to fix that and post bigger ones.....

Two deep red stripes
Now THAT is a ****ing gorgeous car!
Love the colour choice too - looks spot on!
Stripes. Hmmm...well. How about one big and two little either side red stripes to match the interior? (with the style like the red sport racer's?)
One thing I do quite like (I'll try and find a picture to explain) is off centre stripes. Maybe one going down the passenger side of the top of the vehicle (if you see what I mean).

The tape would be a good idea - just make sure the car's clean when you do it (if you have Mr Zymol there at the moment, it's likely it will be 
) so it doesn't make any scratches.
Your decision then would be what colour to do the stripes; how about black AND red (i.e. big red with a black smaller line or vice-versa?). I guess it depends on how prominant the red interior is from the outside of the car!?
Anyway; there's some thoughts for you to hopefully get your mind working! If I do win the competition, could I exchange the pint for a passenger ride?!
(incidentally I'm a Bell & Colvill boy and Richard sold me my Elise
)

I use www.tinypic.com to host pics. Simply upload, copy the link and job done - they're very good.

a 3 day course at the 'Ring in August,
That's not through Dettaglio, is it? If so - I might very well be on the same one!
Good luck with the car: it's going to be fantastic, and it's just the right time of year. You just have to overcome those 1000 running-in miles. Agony, apparently
(PS: pictures work now)

Wicked ! that look's so cool
I think the big Red stripe with the single black is the way to go, it should match up very well Boggy

BRG type 33 stripes. Saw a hill climb car in white with these stripes, I've wanted that colour combo ever since.
Er... like the one in the window behind it in the first picture maybe..? Great looking car by the way!
ER, nope.
Type 33, is one fairly wide central stripe, with a small gap each side and then 1 very narrow stripes down each side.

Can anyone remember the 'Old English White' with red wheels that cam out of B&C - The GT3RS-alike. Amazing. I nearly sold a kidney to buy that...
I saw this car and was absolutely blown away. Just didn't have the balls to go for it myself. Wish I had now.
To the man/lady that bought this car, if you are a Ph'er please get some photo's of it posted.
Thanks
Hi Loach, first off top looking lotus - with the all trendy white paitwork which i have to say I love.
First time i've posted on the lotus forum, im going to get an S2 soon (problay gunmetal grey).
As far as strip colour's go I've done one for you which i'm sure you will like!!!!
On a more serious note, if you would like me to do a few colour variations just let me know.
Enjoy the car mate - it's stunning!
