While I was at the factory yesterday (what a great day out by the way) me and the missus spotted a full sprayed bodyshell in the factory that was in a superb colour that i've not seen before - it was called Ice White and was a pearl silvery white, much much much nicer than Aspen White and it looked fantastic when it caught the light.
Does anyone know why it's not in the colour charts or on Lotus' web site colour selector....?
I want one in that colour!!!

But the brochures and online info are all still showing the "old" colours and our VW dealership are well into '08 production changes now with vehicles having come through from build weeks ago with the '08 spec changes in place
There is also a new Persian Blue, Cherry Red (which is infarct PINK) and a new Krypton Green PS- i want a 2-11 now after seeing it in the flesh y'day!!!

Plenty of the colours you saw lineside were for the US market...... I loved the lambo pearl orange only to be told it's a US only option 
Errr why do the Yanks get gorgeous new colours and leave us Brits (who's ancestors built the company and have supported them more than any other country in the world) with an old range....?!Zebede29 said:
Looked on the USA web site yesterday but for some reason they don't have a colour configurator - guess it would be too complicated to use for the typical Yank lol

You know, thinking about it, I'm astonished that the factory can justify such a hefty premium for these special colours. I appreciate that they need to differentiate them from standard colours but is the paint process REALLY 4 times more labour-intensive than a regular metallic finish? I doubt it very much - and I'd be amazed if the paint itself is much dearer too.

Sod the colour's did you see that Performance pack for the Exige S? Already knew about that and have been keeping my mouth shut thought it was going to be £3499
That's kicked all the aftermarket conversion's into touch in one fail swoop. Well as long as they will upgrade car's already sold as well, that will be a really positive move for Lotus and I can see people now buying more S's and as a result selling more new car's

My '06 Exige has the pearl in the white. i think it must be Ice white then not the arctic i thought it was.
Yours will be Aspen White which was effectively the replacement for Old English White. Aspen is indeed metallic and for '08 Ice White replaces Aspen.hth.
