Mine is done and at Silverstone! Aimee sent me some pics today and it looks amazing. And will look even better when she puts to gold wheels on it tomorrow. Collecting Saturday, can't wait!!!

That will be the blue bit then? :-)
250 miles on mine so far, hope to be 500 end of next week
And a little bit of the white too!

^ Likewise! When does yours arrive Chris? Hoping I've only got 3 more weekends to wait, due an update from the factory today. Paint job was 70% done a couple of weeks ago.

I really like that Tony, I do. But I'm just too much of a philistine to get why you'd have a new car detailed - but then my cars usually only get washed once a year when they're serviced!
-
Lucky you. Mine's been delayed, it's not coming off the production line until after Easter and I'm not expecting to pick it up now until the end of April...

Lotus Stage 3 blows the packing out in a few thousand miles. 2bular is the way forward.

I certainly hope so! I'll post some pictures when I collect the car.

Yeah, I saw the red/white one and liked it but I think mine is going to look even better! That's a cup car and I don't like the gold wing mirrors for example. Also that car has the LF1 gold wheels which aren't quite the same shade of gold as the detail painted elsewhere on the car and as mentioned elsewhere on here are difficult to keep clean. Whereas, at the suggestion of Scott at the factory I've ordered the standard black wheels and am going to then have the supplying dealer strip them back and paint them in the same shade as the detail with a heavy dose of lacquer for cleaning purposes - they will get the paint code from the factory...

Yep that's the one. I heard the same and I guess I got in at the right time. What custom paint scheme have you gone for?
I've been really boring and gone for a near replication of the blue Sprint scheme that I had on my S2. But with the gold detail being painted this time around I'm confident it's going to look ace. Also going to have the wheels painted the same shade as the gold detail.

Same. My car (also a custom paint job and custom interior) won't be ready until mid April as well and I ordered last October
It'll be well worth the wait though
You're getting liquid yellow Chris, right? That will be pretty unique, I was told they won't offer it any more given how long it takes the factory to finish it!

Komotec 430 upgrade is 4,400 fitted by Hangar 111. I think my wife might let me have that in 3 years time. But another 30/40k for the factory version, I'm not so sure.
-
Mid March? Easy! I'm not expecting to collect mine (which is not an LF1 but has a custom paint job) until mid April!
-
Ordered mine today and I'm going to armourfend the front for sure. Got to be cheaper than a respray!

Welcome to TLF. Very hard to imagine how Essex blue would be anything other than stunning.
Did you see the red Exige V6 sprint colour scheme they did? Looked great, no reason why they couldn't do a blue version, at a price of course!
Thanks. We had a chat at the Exiges.com Hethel day in late 2013 I think.
I have seen the red scheme one - thought it was very cool. Not getting my hopes up just yet as still got to get the numbers right but hopefully a visit to the factory will tell me more. Am I right in thinking the price should in theory at least just be the same as a 'Motorsport' colour?

My first post on here, there are a few usernames I recognise from other forums. Hello everyone!
Somewhat surprisingly my wife has just approved the upgrade of my S2 Exige Sprint to a V6. My man maths arguments seem to have worked for once - I spoke to Scott from the factory this afternoon and they have some cracking offers on for the next couple of months. Anyway I'm also facing the colour quandary. My current car is the blue/white combination and I'm struggling to find a better one. Quite like the Velvet Red that is on the Stratton roadster at the moment but i think I still prefer the Persian blue on my sprint. Any ideas what it would look like on an S3? Scott suggested I might like to take a trip up to the factory to see the various paint options and I think i will take him up on it. He said they have a Persian Blue evora currently. He also mentioned that he commissioned 3 essex blue ones. Wonder what that would look like on an exige?
