Excellent post, thanks!!

atyclb · 12-31-2003, 10:10 AM

can anyone explain why blue leather is N/A with Magnetic Blue, and red leather is N/A with Ardent Red?

Arno · 12-31-2003, 10:21 AM

Usually because the hues are somewhat different and 2 different shades of the same colour on one car looks awful, especially when they meet like on the doors (inside painted too)

Better to go with contrasting colors. Works a lot better.

Bye, Arno.

I was wondering the same thing.
Somewhere I read that those were "suggested" combos - maybe you can order it if you really want it....

The way I read their chart, they are recommending certain color combos. I don't believe that limits your choices. Perhaps we can clarify this on Friday at the auto show.

Hollywood,

Thanks for that post, it really helps us all to see something finally on paper from Lotus.

no problem guys.

Maybe we can make this a sticky

Should be able to answer some peoples ?'s

James A · 01-02-2004, 05:53 AM

Thank you Hollywood, great post. I notice you have a Celica GTS so you have experience with the engine going in the Elise. Someone in an earlier post ask about Limited Slip, I understand these are available in the aftermarket quire readily for the Toyota gearbox.

cerven · 01-02-2004, 07:28 AM

Thanks Hollywood for the great post.

I have some pics of the Argent red car with red interior that really looks like crap because the reds don't match.
