[censored].

I’ve just seen a Chrome Orange S2 in the flesh and I’m gutted at not having chosen it.

I ordered 2 weeks ago - do you think I would be able to change?

11

Try them! I think it’s the best S2 colour.

What color did you order?

13

Try your luck all you need is a orange un-allocated unit and your flying!
Got to say i love the orange but could not justify the extra 1k for a colour, just hope I dont live to regret that.

14

Sorry - was out of the office all day.

I ordered Storm Titanium as I felt that it would fare better with minor scratches, scrapes, polish marks etc. I also thought it was a ‘mature’ choice (whatever the hell that means!).

Buuuuuut… Chrome Orange kicks ass!!

The brochure colour swatch makes it look quite drab and tangerine-ish, but when seen in the flesh… !!

I’m now too far down the line to change. Nevermind - I guess I’ll reap the financial benefits of choosing a ‘safe’ colour when the time comes to swap over for the inevitable S3 (or equivalent).

15

Guys - I can’t decide.

I’m here in the U.S. and I have never seen an S2. I have seen the Elise in Chrome Orange that looks O.K., but I’m not convinced. Does the Exige look better.

Here are the options I am trying to decide between…

Ardent Red
Chrome Orange
Artic Silver
Grahite Grey / Storm Titanium

Can you guys help??

Oh you should know not to get us started on colours!

I have a Gunmetal S1. I went for that as I feel it has an air of attitude whilst showing off the lines better than an even darker colour. However, on track (bit much on the road) I think the Orange looks great on the S1.

Now, in my opinion, the S2 doesn’t look as special, and it needs a bolder colour to give it that little bit more. Orange definately works, and yellow looks good too.

See what I mean?

Whatever you go for it isn’t going to stop it be a fantastic drive!

Ardent Red - Looks awesome from the front, but doesn’t work the angles well at the rear. It’s a bright solid colour, so it will show every polish mark and light scrape.

Chrome Orange - Wicked! No other word will do. Prepare for a lot of attentin though (but does the car really need more!?).

Artic Silver - I’m normally a fan of silver, but it looks a bit weak on the S2.

Storm Titanium - The next best after Chrome Orange. Subtle, but aggressive.

All in all, colour choice is purely subjective and comes down to the individual.

I would strongly advise you to look at all the colours in the flesh (on an S2) before you order.

Xman, I strongly suggest you join the Scottish_Elises group.
Plenty of gatherings, runs, trackdays, etc.
Possibly join the Tut Towers event starting on May 13th and ending May 15th.

Hope to see you around.

Will do fella, but it won’t be until after Christmas.

I’m working abroad just now, so the Exige comes with me for tax reasons.
