Yay Beast of a car  :D  I love them...but i think you need to spray the orange grill silver  ;)

I think not as it is factory fitted and an actual distinction to the limited edition model.

:2p:

Some dealers actually did spray them silver which although nicer does spoil the ltd edition image (as you said).

Lotus didn't suffer the same problems as they knew what they were doing :D (except in some cases they used crappy hoses on parts of the early cars)

I think spraying the grill is the last thing he needs to worry about… That red leather is giving me a bad head!!

:lol: Im sorry...didnt want to come about as distasteful or just plain argumentative (every time I see one reminds me of red nose myself :D )

My main concern on this is that Ross might not be keeping this for long at this rate and might spoil it a bit if he does spray it comes selling time ;)

:thumbsup:

EDIT: Charade GTxx 993cc three cylinder turbo, 173bhp @ 1.4bar (should hit 200bhp with a larger throttle body, removing stupid high lift cams and a bit more boost)

Theyre pretty cool, and rare as you say. There is a few tuning options, try sticking a t16 lump in there ;) my mate did that and last i heard was running 330bhp and about 350ftlb lol. That thing is absolutely mental. Probably not a good idea if you want something cheap and reliable tho lol.,
