Hi Paolo,

Have you ordered the car in Italy?
I have placed an order this month at Lipscomb Lotus in UK wth Pounds
so low I saved more than 25% from Italian list price.
The car is a CUP 260 in Aspen White with Cup Pack, air con and upgraded
induction kit.
Looking at the pictures above I' d be tempted to switch with Artic Silver.

Ciao Robi!
Si ho ordinato l'auto in Italia perchè ho trovato chi è stato disposto a trattare il prezzo di listino come si deve,avevo in mano un preventivo inglese e la differenza c'è ma giustificata visto sbattimenti vari e futuro trattamento da parte dei concessionari per l'assistenza..il mio problema è il colore non sono deciso..

Se sei per un colore discreto, starei sul Silver, altrimenti farei Aspen White,
il colore tipico di questo modello.

If you are after a subtle colour, I'd for for Artic silver, I had a Storm titanium
Exige 192 and was dull definetely, otherwise I'd go for Aspen White, a
tipical Exige Cup colour.

Aspen White would provide a very good contrast

I think your car looks awesome as it is - if you did what you PS'd it would look like a car that had been in an accident, had parts replaced and didn't get fixed properly. Black roof, hatch and front covers just overwhelm the lines of the car and detract from the great graphite gray rather than compliment it - - - just my opinion. I also think your wheels look better silver.

thanks. I'd like to eventually get these parts in carbon and I don't think I'd paint them. They won't look completely flat black as in the pictures, but similar i guess... It does look like mismatched parts. LOL Frankenstein Exige. Change out the side mirrors for ones that look like bolts. haha

the wheels are always a struggle for me never 100% sure about the silver. I think I'll have one side silver wheels and the other side black wheels. Depending on my mood I can park the car to show which ever side I want.
