NedaSay Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Very nice color but i believe the wheels should be a shade or two darker to really compliment the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the wheels in that colour, I think it makes it all look clean, sharp - I'd seriously consider that combo with the red interior! Very very nice... I also like the non-black pack scheme, looks good in Blue. Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

This is probably why the full blown configurator is not online... As of now, it cannot really be trusted with some colours... There's a significant difference in hue on blue and green. It could just be connected to the virtual exposure used to create the images but when you look at the configurator sample and the paint options in the "Build package" section located just below it on the page, you realize that they are just not the same, racing green and metallic blue appear not to be configured correctly in the configurator, the samples in the paint option - even though flat and dull - appear to be much truer to the final result. Somebody - Bibs - should tell the guy in charge to remedy the problem, it appears to me that they have used the Blue and the green available on the Elise "configurator" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Stone Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I understand B&C delivered a black 400 today with gold wheels and gold stripe overt bonnet, roof, tail. Looks very nice.

Jack Stone Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks. Just seen that the pics have been posted on the B&C FB page. Is the owner on TLF? I gather he had an S before.

CaptainSlow Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 The first 400 has just landed in Sweden. Solid red with black pack. Our chairman popped in to the dealer to have a look. His mobile photos attached, somewhat different angles from the ones above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Woodman Posted January 11, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I would have never considered Starlight black, but having seen it in the flesh, it looks amazing. All the vents being black disappear so the car looks quite different. Not sure about the red interior, although a black interior would probably be too much....... Still thinking Edited January 11, 2016 by Woodman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyteck9 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 That black w/ gold accents is very sharp! The dark blue metallic is amazing though. It says proper adult classy GT car just as I had hoped... in fact... wait.. Is that left hand drive? I can't quite tell... I was told my order was the only dark metallic blue left hand drive car... omg, that might be MY car?!!?! Where was this taken? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NedaSay Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Just had a look at the lotus exclusive brochure, toxic green is back... alongside some old classics. Interior pallet is also much expanded with a very nice "notte" blue leather and a more subject to caution "aloe" green leather... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramjet Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I don't mind the red interior. When you are in it, most of it would be covered by your body anyway.
