DT 350 48 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 Hello guys, I have been a long time viewer on the forum, it all began back in early 2017 when I started looking for a new car. I ended up visiting William Automobiles and test driving a metallic blue Exige 350 Sport and ever since that moment I was hooked and needed a Lotus Exige in my life. Fast forward nearly a year and I'm about to collect my new car. Let the adventure begin. 9 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DT 350 48 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 I don't collect the car until Saturday. The radio is a Clarion, with Bluetooth. tbh the radio isn't the first thing I looked at Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BatMobile 272 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 Welcome to the club, you are in for a treat will you be taking the car on track? If so pop over to the track section and say hello in “journey into track days” more the merrier.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DT 350 48 Report post Posted February 16, 2018 Yes the car is solid yellow. I'm coming for from a BMW M235i. The plan is to do a few track days in the car, I hand my arm twisted by a colleague with Caterham 420R Will take a look thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcx 163 1 Vehicles Report post Posted February 16, 2018 Congrats! Looks great. I have a soft spot for yellow. More and more people are realising how good a road+ track car these are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOOD 73 Report post Posted February 16, 2018 Hi @DTAIT I wonder if the yellow is actually the same as my Club Racer? The brochure calls it Metallic Yellow, it does shine nicely but I can’t see any Metallic in it! If you’ve been to Williams, where are you based? They’re my closest dealer but I’ve only used them for a couple of smaller jobs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, I'm based near Leamington Spa, I have a look in the paperwork and see what I can find but to the eye it is defiantly a solid yellow. Will try and get some better photos soon.

A little bit of yellow for you in the meantime Edited February 16, 2018 by 2GOOD Added picture Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharky 25 1 Vehicles Report post Posted February 17, 2018 Looks great. i know what you mean about metallic paint. My metallic white doesn’t have any large flakes in it. Certainly nothing like the black I’ve seen in an earlier S. I suspect the flake is just very fine so it shines nicely. Not sure when they switched radios to the newer clarion with the single dial in the middle. Early 2017 builds maybe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DT 350 48 Report post Posted February 18, 2018 Reflecting of the first 24 hours of ownership all I can say isn’t the car is phononimal. Exactly was I was looking for in my next car. Every drive is an experience. After taking the other half out for the day in the car after she refused to get in it, before I got the car. I think she’s slowing coming around to the idea ? Can anyone advise how to change to clock on the digital speedo screen? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
