A very special hello to all of you
My name is Paolo and I live in Italy,I've recently decided to buy an Exige cup 260 2009 model but would you believe it I cannot choose the colour I would have liked it in graphite grey but someone put me off it saying that it would look bad with the carbon fibre plus I have never seen a photo in such colour,if anyone has or could do me a quick photoshop job I would be really gratefulthat would be a big help plus any suggestions
Please help!
Thanks

grey, carbon and black - it will look nice

I say get what you want

Graphite is a good low-key choice - meaning it won't stick out like a sore thumb and be kind of a sleeper. Other than the mohawk and other carbon bits, the gray will blend well and will incorporate the gray wheels good.

I totally agree. I have Storm Titanium (lighter than Graphite; sort of a blend of silver and grey) and the carbon fibre parts look great.

I think Graphite and Carbon Fibre would look really good.

I have had 2 Storm Titanium Exiges before my 260 Sport and, although I love Storm Titanium, I thnk it would be too many colors with the gray wheels, black/carbon pieces and yellow logod decal. At least the black wheels on the N/A Exige and S 220 & 240 the black went with other trim. The gray wheels on the 260 do not go with anything else unless you have a graphite grey car - then at least it blends.

Wheel colour is not a problem because I am not keen on the 260 rims so have ordered black motorsport ones like the 255.any photoshop with the graphite?

Waiting on delivery of this colour choice for the S260. Don't believe delivery will hit before late June. The anticipation could be a form of revenge from the past.

I have a graphite grey exige and a couple carbon parts (not on the car). But I can assure you Graphite and carbon go very well together. You will not be disappointed. :evil:

Also a welcome from my side :clap:

My Name is Chris and I'm from Switzerland. The Exige is my Dream Car since years, and finally my dream is comming reality...

Like Paolo, I'm also going to buy a cup 260 and I'm also not sure about the color. My favorite color at the moment is Aspen White, like this one:
Exige Cup 260 Aspen White

I also would be glad, if someone could post pictures of other colors. It's hard to imagine, how the cup 260 looks like (because of the CF).

Thanks in advance

Joseph's photo in my opinion is Storm titanium and yours is clearly graphite..do you think carbon looks good with graphite?

 

[carreracaballo]

Paulo,

When u get a graphite or titanium colour with carbon applications
u should understand that the carbon will blend in!

That means, bypassers will not notice the whole package at once
they need to look twice, so u will have the so-called "Understatement"

If you want your car to stand out AT ONCE, u have to get a flashy color,
like isotope green, solar yellow, chrom orange, red, etc . . .

A comparison between flashy and sleeper

However, the choice NOW is individually YOURS,
are you a stand out or a hide in?

Greetz,

Joseph
