The big Elise/Exige picture thread

[chemistry]

It’s finally stopped raining so I managed to take my new tangerine toy out for a blast

Brilliant little thing!

Thanks & yes, they are bolt on silencers (come as a pair, but you can't see by that pic). Very much needed at Goodwood on the 16th of March when it was a 98db day.

Andy interested to hear about the silencers as I have a 2bular road system producing many dB, how much do they reduce the dB by and where did you get them from?

Cheers

That the one on JayEmms video with a crazy amount of upgrades?

[Dave R D]

Checking the invoices with the car there are even more then talked about in the video.

[Sprint84]

Picked this up last week, well impressed so far

[Shnozz]

Lovely.

Getting a real hankering for an S3 Exige as a toy.

Stuff is happening down at the trim shop.

I like a bit of carbon inside my Cup 250

[Shnozz]

That looks utterly superb, although I do wonder what the screen reflection is like from that dash and binnacle!?! When I carboned out my interior on an Exige I dyed the top alcantara in black, had the air vent area at the top edge carbon dipped and then sold on a carbon binnacle to have the original alcantara covered for fear of reflection issues.

Trying to get some miles on my car before my first track day...

What an epic little machine it is when these roads are free of traffic!!

Yes, I did have some concerns and investigated a matt finish, but then I would have gone with that for all the other bits. In the end I felt that because it’s only the strip right under the glass it should be ok from the driver’s eye line.

Here’s our Scandal Green Elise Sport 160. Only 7 made like this one so I'm told. We're very pleased with it.

That's a long dash panel away from perfection.

Very nice, my favourite colour for a S1. Rare car too as you say!

[Zarco]

Spot on!

Haha well it actually came with the original head unit, which I’ve fitted since these photos were taken, so I reckon that's probably better than the much-wanted long dash panel, from an originality perspective!

The car is one of the original 50 SVA examples produced, and is totally unmolested, with time-warp mileage to boot. Quite some find, or we think so anyway!

Green and red clashes a bit but I love the car. Paintwork on my New Aluminium S1 isn't in great condition so I'm considering a respray in a few years and toying with the idea of getting the colour changed to Scandal Green. Not hugely bothered about keeping everything original as it's not a special edition and I've no intention of selling it, Wife will have to prise the keys from my cold dead hands.
