I purchased my 06 Exige about 2 years ago but havent gotten around to making a build thread until now so what better time than the present so sorry for the length of this first post and all the pics. The car must have been modded some before as Stan's shifter mod was done I noticed and the intake snorkel was already removed. The Stock exige seats had been replaced with Magnolia Elise Probax seats for some reason and it doesnt have LED tail lights :shrug: Clean carfax when I got it though.
Here she is the day after I bought her:
An old photo I found online of it at a dealership
My first purchases for the car as it didnt have the manual/toolkit/only one keyfob when i got it
Then I purchased an OEM battery box, black shift knob, and K&N filter
Interior with black shift knob and ebrake handle
Did the green wire mod
Added DDM Tuning HIDs
Larini SE exhaust purchased from a forum member
Top Speed rear panel eliminator (Ebay/no longer made)
and then dyno'd her
Then my CF addiction started with HKFever's awesome parts
Added Sector111 3mm spacers
Jim Clayton Tow ring painted to match the stripe
FTP CF side scoops
Picked up some Exige Probax from Avid Motorsports
Added a Lotus Sport Banner with a matte black backing and the yellow matched to my stripe thanks to Keith at Chuforia and a Carbon Fiber front lip from HKFever
Then tragety struck as some lady ran into me while I was waiting for another car to turn back in October 2013
Five months later I got her back from Magnum Collision over in Atlanta (Lotus dealer sent the car there after i sent it to them) During that time I picked up some Cup Wheels, a Larini Decat pipe, Cup Airbox, and a difflow diffuser
When I got it back from Magnum
Then I had Keith at Chuforia redo the starshields and stripe and had a local shop paint the cup wheels
I've also got a CF footrest and fuel door from GBcomposites and some mudflaps on the way. Got a CF steering ring from HKFever too that i didnt run across a pic of.
Plans are to supercharge her soon most likely with an OEM Exige S setup as I've already purchased a water/air intercooler and some modified RLS pipes. Going to go with a full mohawk scoop hard top.
Ninja edit: Forgot to mention I'd added a Saikou Michi Catch Cans and a smaller/lighter XSpower (I think is the name) battery as well after mine flipped over while driving one day and leaked acid all over the inside of the trunk. Purchased a CF mohawk scoop hard top this morning as well so looking forward to that coming in.
