Yes from Silverstone. Orange one out of budget, so have gone for the Daytona blue one with 400 bumper. It is in great condition and has interesting provenance

Right, so I've damaged my right hand side a-pillar trim (external, by the windscreen) while trying to stop some wind noise. Any recommendations for source of parts?

Has anyone looked at the orange car Silverstone have? I had a burnt orange NA and fancy having a look but not sure if the sports racer interior (red stitching) goes too well with the exterior colour?

Yes I saw it, and sat in it. It looks great and was just a few £k out of my price range. I didn't see the red stitching as an issue in reality as you don't really see it from the outside looking in, and when you are on the inside looking out the stitching isn't in your eyeline. They dropped the price just after I signed up for mine.

I bought this one.

Can't see it as an issue and love the orange. Seems a good deal as well at the reduced price. Can't see it hanging around long.

I would, I was quite taken with the orange one too, my two favourite Evora colours are orange (thither of them) and Daytona. Silverstone also have a rather tasty 400 in the Gulf special edition colours.

Watch out for Aimee, she is hard as nails when it comes to negotiating, lovely lady nevertheless

I have to admit, as much as I love orange on most lairy sports cars (Exige included), it just doesn't do it for me on the Evora. Similarly, I am not a fan of blue cars ordinarily but the Evora in my eyes looks fantastic, particularly in that bright blue G33 has bought. Similarly, I don't usually like yellow but on the Evora it looks superb. It's an odd car for me in that my usual colour choices don't seem to apply to that particular car only. Either way, the SR wrap is a must - the lines look so much better.

The pics on the Silverstone advert aren't great. It looks so much better in the flesh. To my mind its a nice balance between lairy colour and tasteful yet boring grey, black etc
