The time came along where i felt like being a bit different as well as treating myself so i came up with the idea of a paint job. I looked at so many colours, every one was an option, then i settled on this one...
Just a reminder on how she looked before the make-over...
Then she went in and started with the rub down...
Then the colour went on. I was really happy with my choice in the end and yes, there are a few pics cause she changes colour that much!!!
straight out the paintshop before going anywhere...
then after buying ross's wheels it was time to put them on!

(yes i was hungry after cleaning her with the evidence showing! ooops)
so thats her transformation. i absolutly love it!!! might not be everyone's taste but i'm happy!

i m not a big fan of that kind of paint but i think it looks really good on your car.
i also like the front splitter! (something i want for my elise in the near future)

I know not everyone likes that kind of paint job, but I really like it! Looks great!

But I'm with Jon on the black wheels recommendation!

I always feel that pictures never do that type of paint justice, and I to am with Jon on the black wheel's it would really set it off.

thank u for the comments its always good to have positive feedback , it was just a little garage next to the marquee in dundee. He didnt really know how to take some of the bits off as he'd never wrked on an elise before so i learnt a lot too was in there most days. Kinda missed driving her as it took 4 whole weeks .
Might think about the idea of the black wheels

only one comment : get that roof off
Not sure if the camera is doing the shade & shineyness justice - is it green or purple ?. Get some high res ones up on photobucket or similar

Lovely paint job, but you could get £750 for the hard top on eBay, and enjoy the sun.
What do you plan on doing with the original wheels?
