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 Link to post Share on other sites

313 5 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Am I the only one who cannot stand the rims? The silver edge and the glossy finish looks awful and cheap to me. Futhermore the two-color-scheme makes the wheels look to small... 2 Quote 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 217 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
silverfrost 1,387 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Top cat 76 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post footsoldier 8 Posted August 21, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 (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, 2019 by footsoldier 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevsked 769 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 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. Link to post Share on other sites
550superfast 446 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 217 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites
