jonnyfox Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I really can't believe some muppet would actually respray a CR white! Sorry Stik I just can't get my head around it at all but if it floats your boat fair enough.....
Stik Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah i'm with you 100%, but to be honest i'm not actually after a CR specifically, but i am quite fond of a black on white Exige so this kindof ticks the boxes If it was still in the CR colours then it would be even better, but having seen 2 out of the 25 CRs in the last month i suspect the chances of coming across one of the remaining 23 (if that!) in the next month or two is slim... They do have another white 2010 Exige S with pretty much the same spec but it's a few thousand dearer and i think i actually prefer the slightly older design, the widebody wing just doesn't look as good imo My only problem with this one is the number plate! And the rear motif, but hopefully it's vinyl and i can peel that off. I'd also like to get the Lotus letters put back on, assuming i buy it
Laura Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Recognise this car. I remember me and G sitting behind it for a while on the motorway a few months back and discussing it. Didnt realise it started life as a genuine CR (well still is), thought it was a DIY jobby when I saw it because of the colour. It is still a very nice looking car but I am biased when it comes to white Elises/Exiges obviously. You may have to wait a little while longer but the right car will turn up if you don't go for this one
Stik Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Well as long as there's nothing wrong with it when i see it tomorrow then i think this will be the right one, or at least right enough to make me get it. I suppose there's always going to be a more "right" one somewhere out there but at some point you have to say "good enough" and go for it. Also i want this for summer Someone is coming in 2 hours to collect my VX so i shall be fast-car-less
IAN G Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Looks a nice car but them decals from the front and rear would have to go ! Is it embroidered onto the seats ? What were lotus thinking when they done that !!!
Stik Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I don't mind the front, just the back one Pretty sure it's embroidered on the seats, so i don't think they're coming off anytime soon. Maybe i could get some of those bead mat things that taxi drivers used to have and hide it
a7esk Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Put lotus Silverstone sticker on the rear ask Almie it's of the new Silverstone track sorted Eddie
Laura Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Well as long as there's nothing wrong with it when i see it tomorrow then i think this will be the right one, or at least right enough to make me get it.

Also i want this for summer Someone is coming in 2 hours to collect my VX so i shall be fast-car-less Well fingers crossed all looks well with the car tomorrow so you are not car-less for too long. And you will have an Exige for Easter I don't mind the front, just the back one Pretty sure it's embroidered on the seats, so i don't think they're coming off anytime soon. Maybe i could get some of those bead mat things that taxi drivers used to have and hide it The ones on the seats will give you a good reason to make sure you are sat driving the car as much as possible to keep them covered up then
scatty Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I hope it all turns out right.... Wrong colour or not, it's still a great car.... Even with 2 giant condoms on the headrests.... :-)
Stik Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 I bought it :-) There's a few things they need to do to it first, but should get it in about 3 weeks. If i am lucky then that is when the British weather will suddenly take a turn for summer
scatty Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Great news.... Well done mate, welcome to the lotus gang.... ** 3 weeks is going to draaaaaaaaaaaaag*******
jonnyfox Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Well if it works for you, it works for me.....kind of ;-) Enjoy!
Stik Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 Just pretend it isn't a CR jonny Your ordinary, run of the mill white S2. With used condoms on the seats. Thanks for the welcome everyone, i look forward to meeting you at any runs you do
