Never got excited about the Europa until I saw an orange one in the flesh at MMC a while back... 8)

Thanks, the end result has turned out much better than I hoped. Can't wait to get some pictures of it in the sun.

:thumbsup - any idea if that Europa is in Scotland? I've only ever seen two other loud coloured Europas, one yellow which I didn't like and the other was Krypton Green which did look really good but neither were in Scotland.

Was that not the Evora Bertie?
I think Saj probably has the only orange Europa in Scotland :wink: ( maybe even the only orange Europa there is- I don't think it was available in orange from the factory)

I loved your car in its original colour when I saw it with its first owner... but now it looks stunning 8)

Well just got back home with the car and happy to report that the finished product is excellent. I'm well chuffed.

I'll take proper pictures the moment we get some sunshine, most likely when I'm off down south.

Once again thanks for all the great comments, it's great when you make a mod to your car and not only do you like the finished result but a bonus of everyone else thinking the same.

Nope, was definitely an orange Europa sitting in the car-park- think it had been in for a service. It probably still has my slevers on it :D
Was June '08 IIRC, so the Evora wasn't born...where's Graeme when you need him?

Very, very impressed. Really shows off the lines of the car, perhaps moreso than just about any other colour bar silver (which probably wasn't available from the factory anyway).

The Europa really is a "grown up" Elise in many respects, but the colour keeps it cheeky without being too in your face. Hard to describe!

Enjoy the trip to London ... via Yorkshire Dales, North Wales, etc ;-)
