Wow, looks fantastic. Is it a special red? Looks darker than Calypso

Looks Fab!!

I always think red looks pretty mean on a motorsport type car.

Thanks guys, haven’t looked into PPF yet, might be worth doing the front and rear arches at least.

It is calypso (I hope) probably just the lighting in the garage it’s very red in the sun 😂

I thought it might have been Chilli, really love the gold flake it has. But eitherway, that looks spot on. Love the S1 Exige shape.

Calypso is a really good red, will be stunning.

The chin on my S1 Exige got pummelled by stones. Get as much PPF there as you can. And the leading edge of the rear clam where it fits over the sills is another place that gets blasted and looks raw before too long. 👍🏼

I can remember that from my old one too, the over sill had rubber edge which I’ve ordered 👍🏼
It’s an awkward shape to PPF, esp the front lip. Will need to come up with something. Saw a company doing the DIY PPF kits but at £400 I’d be as well paying a professional to do it.

I can remember there was a factory kit as an option

The rubber trim between the rear clam and sill prevented them rubbing together. It offered no protection to stone chips. On plus side should be easy to PPF compared to the front 🙈
