Picked up my new Exige S 220

[Alexbturbo]

Some will probably remember me from annoying the Noble owners earlier this year by saying i preferred the Exige to the Noble lol. Well picked up my new Exige S220 last weekend from Bell & Colvill and i'm loving every minute - In the end i opted for a Solar Yellow S220 with the sports pack but on the useful advice of a couple of you guys on here decided against the supersports pack. Its my first new car and is such an excellent machine just a shame the weather has been so bad so i cant enjoy it Oh well it gave me a chance to get Surrey Car Radio to fit an RAC Trackstar i guess - Bring on the summer and heres some pics for you all and if i see any fellow owners out on the roads will give you a flash or a big thumbs up

That is properly gorgeous. Exiges in black or yellow are awesome. I home your smiles last for ages.

very nice

[Trixster]

Lovely! So jealous.

[emenel]

That looks very nice indeed. Good choice, they really are fantastic and get better and better with every mile.

Enjoy!

Am I being thick (again) or is that spoiler put on differently - it's a beautiful car either way, cool!

[geeboy]

Thats a beauty alright picked up mine last April. Where did you get the lotus sport window sticker?

[S Works]

Cool car. Don't be scared of it, get out there and enjoy. If the weather's crap, book yourself in with Andy Walsh for a day and get it sliding in safety at North Weald.

Lovely colour now all you need is the weather to match your car.

Stunning car mate, enjoy.

Stunning colour ... congrats and enjoy

looks excellent! I notice your gas cap door has a lock. Does Lotus supply a separate key or is it the same as the ignition key?

[Saied]

Stunning looking motor. That Momo 'wheel looks far nicer than the standard one.

Same as the ignition key - the fuel cap is the 'black' version supplied by B&C - again something i blagged to get fitted before i collected the car

I specified the snap off boss kit when i ordered the car @ B&C and the Momo wheel came as part of the kit

[Alexbturbo]

CheeRS for everyones comments absolutely loving the car Be it the drive to work or a nice long drive at the weekend every time its certainly special - also nothing like seeing fellow lotus owners out on the roads when you're out and about - quick flash or wave every time

[Ikemi]

That is one incredible car ... *drool*

I traded my Noble for an identical ExigeS in Solar yellow in March. The exige does not have anything like the grunt of the Noble but its equally as fun to drive.

My main concern about the Noble was the fact that Noblecars no longer manufacture the M12, or anything else so far as I can see. It seems that now Noble owners have to rely on dealers and Noble specialists for repairs as the factory no longer get involved. This is all well and good for most parts I'm sure but what happens when major components of the chassis need to be replaced for example? I doubt that the dealers would carry this kind of stock.

For my part I can say that Noblecars were very very fair and helped me out a great deal when there were problems but in the long term I couldn't expect them do so to the same extent.
