Hello,

I'm a proud new owner of a 2006 Polar Blue Elise with Touring package, Traction Control and Starshield. Thanks to Kai Hensler if Weissach, Vancouver, BC.

I've always wanted an Elise ever since the Series 1 came out and I have been patiently waiting for the right opportunity to get one.

No need to dream about other cars now as I got my dream car now! :coolnana:

Cheers,
Vic

Congrats! That's my favorite color for the Elise.

Do you have any pictures?

Welcome and congratulations! I also own a 2006 Polar Blue Elise. I get a lot of compliments on the color, even when I take it into the Lotus dealership. There's just not that many in this color around.

Welcome to the Polar Blue Club!

Thanks for all your greetings. Your right Polar Blue does get a lot of compliments. I wasn't sure of the color until I saw it for real.

I'm too busy having fun with my car post a picture right now. I will do sometime later.

Hey, same options I started with! I shopped for a month extra just to get polar blue.

Love the color but every now and then some quack asks me if the car is an antique, I presume because polar blue could be interpreted to be faded blue or something. Happened 2-3 times now.

Yep. They paint the car Magnetic Blue and then place it under an intense UV light for, IIRC, 3 weeks (or maybe it was 3.5) to fade it to Polar Blue then place a clear coat over that. Your color shouldn't fade ever.




EDIT: To the OP, welcome and congrats on the new car.

That's really strange that they say it looks faded :crazyeyes. Everyone who has seen my car loves the color.

Awesome coincidence! I just got mine for Father's Day! Polar Blue 06! Gotta love the color!
