Scottish Elises

The car was painted by Steve Walker while I was off on Holiday and I'm very happy with the results, was originally planning on sticking on some r500 style stripes but not so sure now. Whats the SE opinion?



Photos were taken by Adam ( ARphotographs ) who give up some of his time to offer a shoot of my car in the process of building up a portfolio. Very happy with them and would be happy to recommend Adam to anyone looking for some proper pics of their car He might be a power ranger but will fit in well with the SE outlook

v. nice jon - im liking that very mucho.
photos are great as well.

did you get the 'sheds' in the background on purpose?

White on its own looks very good mate, not sure stripes are required. Get DDtb to do something useful with photoshop for a change and add a few stripe colour combinations.

Well done Jon.

I'd go for some stickers. I have a chequered flag theme on mine.

as I said, it looks awesome in white and I would dingy the stripes, they reek of DDtB

Only thing I would say having seen it in the flesh is maybe get some new lenses/headlights/do a bit of powdercoating on the exposed bits - now the paint is mint it makes those bits that arent brand new stand out. I will have the same problem when mine gets done, some bits will look tired against spanking fresh paint.

Oh and I`d paint the 7 bit in the grill white as well.

Yep just waiting for someone to photochop it to "SHED7"



Kenny Dave is pushing for the stripes in sparkly glass bead reflective type vinyl


JJ planning to stick it in for a proper detail in the hope that it tidys up some of the not so fresh bits, if not replacing the lenses was on the cards anyway and having the powder coating on the wishbone redone wouldnt be too much of a hassle

I thought Jon left that to match the harnesses.

I thought that but then thought what it really needs is white harnesses too

Looks lovely Jon, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh on sunday

Painted it blue and have ordered a nose badge in blue/white to match the blue stripes I was considering Might give it a bash in white to see how it turns out ( only takes a minute to get the grill out for painting )

Guess who's doing the powdercoating ???

No Idea?

Very nice, I like it a lot

Wow Jon. Stunning mate!

Heard you were in the DVLA office changing the official colour today

Can't wait to see it in the flesh!
