I’ve been in and seen that car and can honestly say I would have picked Red calipers as it is. Every part of that car just works so well together - much more than I thought it would from the photos I’d seen. It’s a thing of beauty. The only thing I’d pick out as a negative are the silver mirrors........not the best finish I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen the white Type 25 one too when I was in Monaco for the F1.....not so impressed with that one, but each to their own 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the same from photos but when you actually stand next to the car it’s amazing just how right this car looks - only issue I have is the silver painted wing mirrors. Looks like someone did it by hand - they’re awful. Looks good in these pics I think..... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 163 Report post Posted June 28, 2018 I imagine this is a Lotus combination that may grow on you and perhaps needs viewing in the flesh But I do have to say that it doesn’t on first impressions look great to me and just seems a bit aftermarket. Co-ordination of the colours appears a bit random and for the same money you could spec and personalise your own individual Cup 430 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverfrost 1,386 Report post Posted June 28, 2018 I like it, Would be a great car to own imo, I can see what they did to try and show the Lotus heritage in the design usino the colours and wheel type. 1 Quote A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top cat 76 Report post Posted July 13, 2018 There is no chance of me paying the price for one of these even I could afford to, but that just looks so good with the yellow callipers. Congratulations, so nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

footsoldier 8 Report post Posted August 21 (edited) Thanks all...I’m pretty sure it’s the last unregistered one, not sure if they actually made 25 in the end? going for the A-Frame and harnesses before collecting, painted yellow, I’ve just asked for callipers to be done in yellow as well, after seeing the one in this thread! Ties in better with the yellow race car ‘wobbly web wheels’ as well. Will get it to Knockhill before long. Edited August 21 by footsoldier 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevsked 723 Report post Posted August 21 Hi Mark, great looking car, like Jonny, had a great time in my Exige Cup and fully expecting the 430 Cup to be a hugely enjoyable track car. Trevor. 1 Quote I'll get around to it at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
550superfast 416 Report post Posted August 22 Stunning exige. Nice one. Wheels are fab Yellow calipers and A frame will be nice features. I think the wing mirrors would be better green. Or yellow with yellow wing end plates perhaps Quote https://www.youtube.com/user/400superamerica Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 163 Report post Posted August 22 Fantastic car , as a further easy enhancement I’d be tempted to get the rear stickers in Yellow and the tow strap also in yellow while your at it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
