Nah, it looks crap with them, much prefer the sparklers

Although with my knackered shoulder the black ones will probably have to stay on for the Brooklands day

Hidden behind the +2.....

both need a damn good clean.......the spring clean is due very soon......(I think I'll spend a whole BH weekend at it...)

annual wax with the Zymol Concours.....

[Bibs]

I've got a pot of Concours, lasts forever doesn't it

[theelanman]

Im not sure about forever.....but you definitely only need to put it on once a year at the most....... and spoonful (about tea spoon size) is enough to do the whole car........

doesn't half go a long way........and putting it on with your hands is also quite nice........

rubbing your car up.....

[Bibs]

I mean the pot. I must have had mine 10 years and I'm only halfway through it!

Met up with my brother today for a sunny day blast

[Colin G]

A family with excellent taste. 

[Evorasteve]

From the other brother.....beautiful day, spectacular cars.

Other half said to me this morning, "fancy going for a quick drive?", so we did, and ended up about 130 miles away in Fort William. 

I had forgotten how much fun that road is once you get off the A9........

[C8RKH]

I still think this is one of the best angles. My car after a 475 mile cross country blast yesterday!

Took a little joy ride up Jebel Jais . . . One of the best driving roads in the world according to some journalist or other who has surely experienced them all. We passed four Mclarens on the way back down.

Stunning scenery.   And the road views looked nice as well!

Gave mine a good wash and polish yesterday and had the chance to take a couple of pictures. For me the metallic red doesn't do itself justice in pics unless the sun's out. The only downside was that polishing the front means I now know how many stone chips there are and there's now thoughts of a respray lurking in the back of my mind. Needs a front splitter though to finish off the look with the barge boards.

Corr a now that's a smutty red

Allon White have just given my 2010 NA interior a wee tickle. Venom red and alcantara with contrast stitching.

Just driven it 250 miles and not a squeak or rattle and the interior now feels like a million dollar car. I'm dead chuffed with it. Oh and yes, steering wheel turned to right!

[Stuno1]

Looks lovely fella. Really nice. 

[Neal H]

That looks superb. Allon White's also did my retrim, they do superb work.

[C8RKH]

Thanks Neal and Stu. It's a great place to sit (good job as 350 miles tomorrow then on the track Sunday) and the MY12 door pulls are light and day better than the original ones. It was to echo the official Sports Premium interior but better with the venom centre tunnel top and Alcantara instead of Suedetex. As you say Neal, John and the team at Allon White were brilliant to deal with.

[Al]

Did you see a S3 Elise in white in the workshop or lurking for sale when you were there?  (currently on their website for sale but now sold to...........)

[C8RKH]

I did indeed Al, it was parked in front of the showroom and looked really, really nice!

[Stuno1]

Are they lotus seats or did he trim those Andy? 

[Chris J]

Looks good Andy, really nice!

Hu Stu. The seats were bought earlier from Lotus through the Motorsport auction, so are OEM Sports Racer/Premium seats.

Allon White got hold of the matching Venom Red (very hard to get) leather and then did all the rest. They have trimmed seats like this before, as they created a harness whole in the base (with a pop in filler piece for when the harness not being used) for an owner with an S SR. They do an awful lot of Lotus trim work (when I was there a van turned up and took away a fully re-trimmed Exige interior (seats, dash, door cards, central tunnel etc.) They look amazing too.

The Alcantara is bloody fantastic, colour #9002, and so very close to the Lotus Suedetex colour. I'm trying to keep my car with an OEM look, but upgraded, if that makes sense.Hence no quilting, diamond stitching etc. One thing I will say to anyone with a pre-MY12 car is DO upgrade to the later revision door handles - they are superb and 100 times better than the original ones in look, feel, form and function.

Very nice Andy,what have you done in the ultra rare +0 bit?
