Car Colours

[miro]

I have been looking through the classifieds and was suprised to see how many black elises there are with Black interiors. I thought that given the type of car they are people would be a little more adventurous with colour combinations when buying. What colour do you have and what would you have if someone offered you a free respray and re-upholster?

I like Orange paint and Black leather

[Beachbum]

Either Burnt Orange, Krypton Green, or Aspen White. No to fussed about the interior colour, I like the default interior on my current 111R, so would most probably stick with that.

What color have you got on your car at the moment though?

[S9AJE]

I've got Laser Blue and black leather interior.

The only colour i'd change to would be Aspen White, keeping with the same interior

[redevil]

I have a red S1. I was bit worried about paint-fade and it does show the stone-chips but it still looks like it was painted yesterday. I used to say Norfolk mustard was my favourite but definitely Calypso red! Mine just has black leather interior.

Got to agree - Elises in dull colours (silver and grey especially) are a crime.

Im quite partial to Yellow and black. Orange is better but i cant see me finding an orange 111s 02-04 that i can afford

Mine's currently Ice Blue with some carbon bling and black wheels, the interior being deliberately minimalist in black & carbon leather, with charcoal alcantara inserts and dash. The intention (at some point) is to get it resprayed in Maserati Bianco Fuji (or something similar) like the car on this article http://www.classicdriver.com/uk/magazine/3300.asp?... and then probably add a large Carbon Fibre vinyl stripe with pinstripes down the centre.

I have solar yellow with black interior - I ordered it in that colour, so I don't think I'd change it - though crome orange and aspen white are also very cool...

^^^ Very true , dull colours hide the loverly styling .

My Elise is Norfolk mustard yellow (metallic yellow) with navy blue soft top and leather interior.
Only other colour I would consider is metallic chrome orange with black top and leather.

Black & Biscuit leather... that's what I've got

[Esprit]

I've got my Exige in Titanium... but the interior is made from the finest blue Smurf-skin

Oh and by the way, it's not "GREY / GUNMETAL" It's Titanium... there's a hint of bronze in the metal flake if you'd not noticed It's just in your grey British weather it appears dull, in the sunlight it looks

Mine is titanium. Find that these colours are the faster cars!!!

Grey is a lighter colour than black i supose fits in the the lighter car= faster car is this why White exiges are popular.

How does that stand up to stone chips? Show them up much?

[boobles]

For me this is the best colour combination, purple with cream interior.



My second choice would be this & not to concerned about interior colour.

Purple with cream is nice , different Green. Yummey, Id have black wheels though, again not sure if i will ever see one i want second hand though.

Arctic Silver, Black roof, interior and wheels. Bit of a stealth beastie, as I've never been spotted on any forum!

I would have chrome orange, black, and black, given a choice, but had to have what the fleet manager could find!
