Have you got an Elise in Aspen White?

[Jonblue]

They look amazing when new but what do they look like after they've been on the road for a while?

What about 007's Esprit?

Edit: Oh, you mean 'wear' and 'wear and tear'

They look fine if you have the armourfend, and obviously look after it. Still prefer my colour though.

Why armourfend a white car?


ETA: Nice car though Bumblebee.

friend of mine has a white one, and when the chips hit it at velocity black marks appear on the paintwork. so he had it resprayed and armourfended, and now looks great.

What he said ^^^^^ White with back wheels and black trim looks good on an elise, and so does Chrome Orange with black wheels and black trim!!!! Not as nice as my Aubergine one with silver wheels tho....LOL

Actually come to think of it, a LOT of current cars look fantastic in white - think of the following cars and the best pics you've seen on TV or in car mags and I bet they have been white:

> any Elise/Exige
> Ford GT, Focus RS, Fiesta ST
> Golf GTi MkV
> Audi R8 (with the silver sideblades obviously)
> Maserati MC12
> BMW M5 (think Ringtaxi)
> Caparo T1
> Lambo Murcielago Superleggra (or whatever it's called)
> Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it seems the iPod-generation style choice has firmly hit the manufacturers' colour palettes full-on
