She's here: Military Grey

[Kristof Thys]

Got the car!  woop woop!

 

Quite a lot of paint defects (pinhole marks + dust contaminations), but dealer and I have been in contact with the factory and all will be repaired (polished + spot repair?)

 

Nevertheless, massive fun even whilst running in

 

I get a lots of compliments on the colour, really like the way it goes from real bright in sunlight to almost black when the sun starts to set.

 

Aircon and air recirc lights (and heated seat lights) are, indeed, completely useless!!

 

Just 3 pics for the moment:

 

 

 

Next up: exhaust work (thanks pgn340r)

That looks fantastic! I really like the colour in fading light.

 

I found a polarising filter really helps bring out a rich colour on mine - perhaps worth a try, if you have one?

Sry, complete noob wrt photgraphy.  I have a phone which happens to have a camera onboard ...

Do you have some sunglasses with polarised lenses? If so, you can use your phone camera and shoot through the lens. Even you have "normal" sunglasses, you can find they help the picture, or certainly give it a different feel. Worth experimenting, and a good excuse to take more pictures - you need to let the car cool down every so often

It looks fantastic. It was either this colour or motorsport green for me. I went for MSG.

 

You were very quick to get a roof conversion done.  I'm getting mine converted tomorrow. 

[Kimbers]

Awesome car, you must be very happy. Poor paint shouldn't happen on any new car but it does. I buy cars for a living and we just had a car delivered with a dent and another with 2 panels that are different shade of silver. So it happens even with the big manufacturers. I'm sure Lotus will put it right.

You'll love it!  Dealer did the roof conversion whilst I was with the insurance company arranging the paperwork.

I love Military Grey, such a cool and very modern colour.

 

More pics please!

Awesome Colour. Nice choise.

[Bee]

Wow, I never realised how much Military Grey changed as the light levels drop. It looks absolutely stunning in that last shot!

[Neal H]

Love the colour! Fantastic looking car.

[Vulcan Grey]

Great color!

 

There is a Exige V6 Cup car here in Denver, at the Dealer, in Carbon Grey.  Really do want, but it's a track only car, not street legal, and I do not have a spare $106k...

 Congratz another V6 in Belgium! Nice color too! 

[ectabane]

Very nice colour on a fantastic car !

And with the controllights I´m on your side,

completely useless.

 Congratz another V6 in Belgium! Nice color too! 

Next to UK, I'm sure that, relative to the number of inhabitants, Belgium is n°2 Lotus country!!

What happened to the pictures?

[Bibs]

Deleted from the Belgian hosting account they were on by the looks of it.

[TonyKL]

Did anyone save them? I'd love to see a Military Grey car

[Bibs]

Not me, but Google saved these...
