I love them in black but wouldn't love the cleaning and polishing.
Very nice - hope you get as much pleasure from it as I do from mine.

In the immortal words of Spinal Tap.

Chris49: What do you think?
DGR: Is this the hire car?
Chris49: No, this is it, yes, that's right...
Grinnders: This is the new Chris49 wheels....
Chris49: That's the new Chris49 wheeels...
it's going to be out across the coast all weekend.
Grinnders: This is the compromise you made with Jen...this is the compromise
you made?
Chris49: Yes.
DGR: Are you going to say anything?
Grinnders: I'm not going to say anything?
Chris49: Well I'm going to say something.
MiniD: It's going to be like this, all black...
Chris49: No, it's going to be that simple, beautiful, classic!
MiniD: Does look a little bit like, you know, black leather...
DGR: You can see yourself in... both sides.
Grinnders: I feel so bad, I feel so bad about this...
MiniD: It's like a black mirror.
Grinnders: Well, I think it looks like death...it looks like mourning.
I mean it looks...
Chris49: Grinnders, Grinnders, every, every movie, in every cinema is about
death; death sells; death flies!
MiniD: I think he's right, there is something about this, that's
that's so black, it's like; "How much more black could this
be?" and the answer is: "None, none... more black."

You lock me in the cellar and feed me pins, where shall we sleep tonight Mother? In Father's grave?, My eyes! My eyes are pies, and yours are lies, ALL LIES!, I am a fly, trapped in a bottle of SHADOWS! Bzzzzzz..., The gulls have plucked out my eyes!, What's for tea, Mother? Maggots on toast?, and They tap at my window with tiny poles!.



Back on point... Lovely Chris, now. Mods? wink

Hey buddy wavey

To be fair she's very well specced, the previous owner looked after her well so the current mods are -

Hurricane Induction
Lotus Sports Exhaust
ECB discs
ECB Green Stuff pads
Kenwood I pod stereo
S2 short tail conversion (apparently!)
Hardly worn Bridgestone Potenzas

Theres a few tidying jobs to do the rear calipers need some rust removed and treated, theres a small bit of fiberglass damage to the front splitter. I'm looking to get some harnesses in and Exige side pods but then we really are all there!

Bring on the track days and LM10!
