Thought you might like this picture which really shows off the profile:-) Thanks for all your nice comments, it certainly appears to be a car that grows on people

The side grill going into the door looks stunning

I've seen your post on loving lurid color Loti - we know you are a chav deep under the skin, just wrapped in old smelly tweed! Admit it!

I love most cars in lurid colours! That's the only chavvy thing I like (still better than liking cars in Recession white ).

I'm hoping they can find me a Krypton or Isotope Green Exige 190 If not, Chrome Orange or Zest Yellow will have to do

To be correct, it isn't the mesh grill that extends into the door, only the side strake.

Nope - I like carbon fibre in structural applications. It makes a lot of sense. Weight saved and increased rigidity. We are using it for fan blade prototypes at the moment.

I despise the look of it when unpainted though. Very chavvy.

George, a composite fan was a contributory factor for RR going bust in 1971. I'll know who to blame if the same happens again and I loose my contract!

I'm guessing your fan blade won't be painted
The 310quish is growing on me though that front lip is too brave for me!

Stunning!

I don;t think you even notice it when you're stood next to the car - it does stand out in pictures though. I think we'll all get used to it.

I don't work on the carbon bit, only the titanium leading edge. It has some sort of coatings on it.

I hadn't noticed that particular part of the design before but I certainly like it. I've always preferred the look of the V8V/V12V front wing and door over the DB9's because of the strake design.

Stunning!!! Congratulations!

Stunning car and well done on going for blue with yellow calipers. Very special car you have.

[cayman-black]

Wow love the roof, love the calipers, bloody hell the whole car is fab.

It's all about crumbly Lancashire! That on toast = (with lots of Lea and Perrins)

Being a lancashire lad it is my favourite as well. George29 what type of engineering do you do ?

'some sort of coatings'.

Are we talking aeroplane engines?

I am worrying again.

I would - CF burns really well especially inside a jet engine

[ds2000]

Just a double wow to newest pictures posted. The side profile is fabulous.

Trolls - sooooooo 2001.

We are talking aero engines. I don't do the carbon fibre or the materials side of things, I just do the metal bits.

Yup...... Those flying machines.... Made up of thousands of components...
