Lotus Exige 2009 260 'S' - Page 4 - LotusTalk

Vishus_1 · 11-19-2008, 08:00 AM

I have been thinking more about those stripes (besides the fact the rear looks like Dennis Gage).

If the center mohawk is exposed carbon fiber (I'm guessing just cleared over) what is on the roll hoop (the space between the hatch opening and roof). I didn't read that the rear clam is carbon fiber - so is that section just a cf decal?

The tape job is a tool designed to distract the driver behind you when your on the track.

It is a bit odd. Isn't a clutch LSD used in the club track cars? I wonder what % of Exige S's and 240's sold here have a LSD?

The center Mohawk is raw carbon fiber, so no it cant be removed.

- maybe done something more like the Club Racer.

FWIW - The bottom rear is begging for a carbon fiber rear diffuser.

Anybody know what "moonstone silver" and "prism green" look like?

Here are pics of moonstone from another thread, but prism green must be new.

Did they just put a cheesy cf sticker to connect the exposed portion of the cf roof to the cf hatch - because I don't think that rear clam is cf.

We were told the piece between the roof and the decklid is infused carbon fiber, not a sticker.

I havent seen prisim green, but moonstone silver is cool, as you see in the pics from the post above. Its got a cool rainbow effect going on, depending on the angle you looking at it.

Hey Rick, thanks again for the call yesterday on the S260 info.

Shawn C · 11-19-2008, 11:11 AM

I am going to wait for the S 280.

spectre · 11-19-2008, 11:55 AM

Hmm... my arctic silver looks exactly like the moonstone silver image above. The flake is a lot larger than my AS Elise.

exarkun1178 · 11-19-2008, 12:05 PM

I don't think so. Arctic Silver is a metallic silver whereas Moonstone changes color in the reflection. It's a funky thing to look at.
