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) 8)

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.

:thumbsup from me

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 :lol:

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?
