Magnetic Blue vs. Persian Blue - LotusTalk

IsellLotus · 07-01-2008, 08:15 AM

I had the opportunity of being able to take a picture of the 2 next to each other!! Sorry for the lighting in the service lane. The colors are very close!! The car on the left is the Persian Blue and the right is the Mag. Blue

Thanks for that! They do look very similiar. The Magnetic Blue looks to be a shade darker, but that could be due to the age of the car as well.

Persian looks beautiful in person; like a complete Magnetic Blue makeover.

I guess it has a bit more purple in it. Both are beautiful!

That was my question. It looks like a Lotus color - playful like KG.

It was a joke!!
I love LB.
I have no idea what color the floor is.

The new wheels are not as nice as the old ones.

I agree!

I agree. Old wheels and Persian blue FTW!

The Persian blue looks like it has the Euro/UK Exige wheels that some of the '05 models came with....love these wheels...

I saw a magnetic blue today at the Marina del rey meet - looked awesome!

Can't go wrong with either - I say the brighter the better!

They're similar but not the same. The euro Exige wheels' spokes look a bit slimmer than on the new wheels.
