Help me choose a colour for a potential new car
Help me choose a colour for a potential new car
So my car has a recall on it so I had to go to the lotus dealer. Possibly a big mistake.
Am sorely tempted to change my Exige for the new one. They have offered me c£25k for my car which isn't bad since it cost £40k 6 years ago, can't say that about many cars!!
Problem is new one is now £60k so trying to work out if it is worth the extra.
Have driven one around the lemans circuit I know it is definitely an upgrade. It is improved on the road too.
So if I go for it I'm trying to work out what colour to go for. Love the Orange of mine but not sure it suits the longer car and a new car should mean a new colour really.
So here is the current one.
So here is new one in Orange
This is my current favourite choice, pearl white. New car available now (as is orange above )
This a flat white colour.
Black
Special edition in formula 1 colours. £2.5k more though.
Blue, but Audi is blue so probably not. Love it though.
Or maybe a yellow?
What do you think? Appreciate not a BMW
I'll set up a poll if I can work out how!!

the blue for me ( it was on an episode of tricked!! where Joey Essex was fooled into thinking it was a time machine and was in that blue ). Looked lovely.

You know that I liked the white, but now there is a yellow in the mix I have to say I think it's a bit different (like you!) and shows off the contours well. IMHO

Hmm, the Porsche is grey so probably not.
This is a weekend/track only car so can get away with bright colours!!

IQ, I agree yellow is a possible curve ball and the plus is that it is free whereas all of those other colours are between £1500 and £2000 more !

White I can have now though as opposed to waiting !

Re: Help me choose a colour for a potential new car
Black with the gold wheels a classic for lotus ! but ask if they can do the blue highlights on the white one like on the i8 , if you turn up in the orange one no one will tell the difference ! do they do any Red ones ?
You could always go for the white & get it wrapped if you get bored .

I had a red Elise before and it looked great
Red doesn't seem to suit an exige so well
