Popular Post fesuvious Posted June 19, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 So, today I followed through with my original plan. I hadn't told anyone. People on here had discussed paint options, stripes and all sorts (me included). So, I decided to do something that I think hasn't been done on an Evora yet. Plenty will hate, plenty will like, some might love, I'm not looking for approval just thought I'd share it. 3 Quote An unfortunate fascination with Lotus, and proper drivers cars. All caused by S75 LCF back in 2002, a mustard yellow GT3, and someone on here's got her..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted June 19, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 It's certainly different, not my cup of tea, but I actually don't mind it. Thanks for sharing and daring to be different Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies! The first guy to ride a bull for fun, was a true hero. The second man to follow him was truly nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubox Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Oh no, I hate it when this happens.

Choppa Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Like the way you've matched the colour of the brake calipers and the stripes. What does it look like from the rear, that's the view most people will get! Quote Normally Aspirated - and lovin' it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo73 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hmmm, I think that I like it. At least, I don't mind it too much... However, when I saw the thread topic, I thought that you had plastered one of these across your car: Now, that I could live with.

andydclements Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm not sure if I'd have even thought of it let alone chosen that, but it's certainly not offensive to the eyes and it's unique (assumption, but think it's a safe one), so all in all I think it looks OK or perhaps even good. If you get bored in a year or so, you can always change it, and if you want to sell it then it's easily reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fesuvious Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I bought S75 LCF back in 2001.

Bravo73 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 @Snoopy1969 Aha, thanks. AU11 EET also comes up as a legit reg (assigned to a white Evora S!). I wonder where it is now; from 'AU', I suspect that it started out as a factory car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
