GFWilliams 1,391 Report post Posted October 25, 2016 Hello chaps, Bought this Exige V6 from Jamie today, absolutely love it so far! I'm sure there will be many many photos of it out and about as I'm a photographer and will be daily driving it for a while... In fact I'll get more photos up later today I reckon!

Kalli 253 Report post Posted October 25, 2016 Welcome George Get yourself on the phone to Jim V pronto! Suggest you mention mine as a bench mark for sound as I know he does a number of different tailpipe sizes, etc. Also have a chat to Jez at Back On Track to get it fitted! He did an excellent job with mine. I think you, James, Mark and I need to meet up. Mainly because my PC background needs a refresh, and I feel like i'm cheating using someone elses Exige...

Arun_D 673 Report post Posted October 25, 2016 Welcome, George. Congrats on the new purchase. Been a fan of your photos for a while from my PH days, so it's great to have you here. My Cup isn't that camera shy so possibly an opportunity for the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GFWilliams 1,391 Report post Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the warm welcome, interesting to drive it back to back with my (150hp) Caterham this evening. Exige is certainly quicker, Caterham is more fun. Edited October 25, 2016 by GFWilliams 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pits 3,732 1 Vehicles Report post Posted October 25, 2016 Gorgeous car George, great choice. Good to have you on board. You've already had a shot of an Exige win Pic of The Month, I have a feeling that it won't be long before we see a liquid yellow one win it! Enjoy!

GFWilliams 1,391 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 I'm looking forward to getting some proper photos of the car, my plans for yesterday didn't quite work when I got asked to leave from the location I intended to shoot it! My big debate now is whether I take the Caterham or Exige to Brands Hatch on the 7th Nov. I think due to cost of consumables and insurance it might be favouring the Caterham, but I really want to try the Exige! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xisthos 103 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Eh, just noticed that your car has it's hard top off in the garage shot. I thought it required the dealer to remove it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GFWilliams 1,391 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 It has the soft top conversion, just a few bolts get it off then I can have twice the fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xisthos 103 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Interesting! If there are no vibration or water breach issues then I'll probably do the same to my car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GFWilliams 1,391 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Speak to your dealer, you have to buy a soft top and the mountings really, although you could just remove the hard top and hope it doesn't rain! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xisthos 103 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Sorry to derail the topic. I am aware of the soft top kit that you can buy. So if they remove the hard top, you can't easily put back the hard top again? That's what I was referring to, apologies for the confusion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalli 253 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 The Exige roof is exactly the same as the previous generation S2 roof. That part of the car hasn't changed. The hardtop on the coupe's are only mounted with anti-tamper bolts. With the correct bit (or through the dealer) you can remove these. Once done, the roof unclips and comes out. To attach, it's exactly the same (albeit use different bolts for ease). The car will suffer from leaks, but generally only if you drive with the soft top off during rain. Otherwise, no leaks, nor window alignment requirements. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
