I Need Elan Photos

Postby Bahrain Lotus » Mon 29.01.2007, 09:24

Hi Everyone.

I have just purchased one of only two Lotus Elans in Bahrain. I need to give it some TLC. I would love to give her a fresh coat of paint but before I do I was hoping that some of you could forward me some photos of your Elan so I can get some ideas colour ideas!

Thanks To All!

how about a good red-orange inferno blend -- they made Elises in these colours but never an Elan. I theorize it would look good, but no one wants to give it a try -- yet??!

Bahrain, just have a look at the Pictures seciton of the forum. Plenty of pics there. Although, I do like Doug's color suggestion. Personally, I've always wondered what a MacTac Elan would look like.............

I have been to Bahrain many times and never seen an Elan. So well done for finding one.

I personally love BRG, but there are so many choices. Try getting hold of a Lotus colour catalogue to see what might look good.

Thanks for some great pictures everyone. Has anyone ever had an Elan painted like A Type 49? :D
