not world saving, climate changing green-ness you understand, this is all about paint!!

I am so pleased with (a) finally having the car back at last after 6 weeks away, and (b) the colour is just awesome, I think it does the Exige justice biggrin
Once again I have that proud happy and exciting feeling every time I drive the car, I haven't really felt that since I had the chrome orange Exige. I feel I'm at home again cloud9

I still need to get some decent piccies with a proper camera, but here are some iphone quality pics - spot the one that's been enhanced significantly in photoshop!! hehe




Extremely well wrapped side pods - they actually look very carbon like, really pleased especially as they were looking a bit faded and old underneath.


Tic tacs - I'd love one of each


Mmm, no chips...yet


Not quite so tinkered with as the top pic, this is more realistic. It's quite hard to capture the colour without a decent lense!


I absolutely love it. Despite the issues it's back now and it's stunning, I cant stop looking at it. Hopefully get some proper piccies taken soon by Damian Blades thumbup

Downside, I'm not going to be sneaking anywhere unnoticed, already been spotted by a friend who's a copper, Doh!rolleyes

It does look absolutely fantastic, aren't you a bit worried about driving it and getting stones chips though.

Green is the best colour for an S2 Exige. I love Krypton but that is wicked too thumbup

Enjoy the summer.

Hey FW, yeah we have weighed up armourfend or something, but for the cost v's respray we will probably leave it. It is going to get chipped, but that is just the lotus front end for you, it's gonna happen somewhere on the car unless you cover the entire car in the stuff.

It was a very reasonably priced paint job as insurance covered half if it, and it's a solid colour so easier to repair than metallic, in theory huh! We will just go with the flow. We have a pot of touch up for the interim wink

Thanks for the nice comments biggrin

Yes, we have been thinking about that, might be tempted to get the end plates of the wing painted green too.

Rear diffuser also lined up for some carbon action.

fantastic colour - Lotuses should not be available in subdued hues.

It looks wonderful.

The whole car has been painted, it's just the side pods and splitter that have been wrapped. Glad you like smile
