Gold FFM C8RKH 6,237 Posted August 14, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Bloody hell Lee that looks stunning - aggressive and really shows the Essex Blue off a treat. Very nice matey. Shame about the squeaky seat! lol Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!

pickle 193 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 @Gm77 Lovely! I had a bit of a wobble last week about my soon to collected car being metallic grey. I haven't seen this colour in the flesh yet and I was worried it maybe a little dark without enough contrast with the black pack. Photos like the one you posted above go a long way to reassuring me that I made the right choice. Feel free to post more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gm77 362 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 @pickle if you go on the introductions section, on page 5 you'll find a thread called "lucky lady". The thread is only 2 pages long but has loads of pictures of ours. I really like the metallic grey. It's a little understated in a good way and the metallic fleck accentuates the contours. I really like many of the other colours but remain very happy with our choice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how it would look with a black interior, but it's lovely with the red leather like Greg has. Edited August 15, 2016 by Gashead1105 more abuse 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CocoPops 827 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Lovely colour, looked better on silver wheels tho. Maybe Anthracite would have been better than black, whilst still going darker if that was the aim.

Gold FFM C8RKH 6,237 Posted August 22, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 @IanPops I would suggest you Ignore @CocoPops, he's a wheelist! next he'll be telling you there are black holes where your wheels should be! Lovely colour. Does anyone have any plans to get rid of those Raleigh Chopper reflectors and fill and paint in the bumper, or, is it an expensive job? You know, next, our American legislatory fiends, sorry friends, will be insisting we employ a guy with a red flag to walk in front of us as we drive! That'll lead to red cars being banned in case you can't see the man with the red flag in front of them. Enjoy your lovely red car whilst you can @IanPops. I can think of some manufacturers who wouldn't find it pc to have a colour of "Fire Red" in their catalogue Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh!

JayEmm 1,272 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Where's the Fire Red from, is it an old Lotus colour or from somewhere else?

IanPops 10 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 i thought Fire Red was an earlier Lotus colour, but stand to be corrected. I'm no photographer as is all too obvious, but the lighting here shows different shades and is a pretty deep shine in the flesh. Still showing off the reflectors too! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JG220 273 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Ils a lovely colour. More orange and less pink than canyon but not so much as Autumn bronze. Just about perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
