Lotus did the Elise S1 160 Sport in Scandal Green which is very similar.

Black wheels, roof, seats and lights :wink:

Always wanted my first Elan in scandal or orange. :(

Wow, Gazza. I thought when I photoshopped the Isotope Green one it came out a little too green, but those pics are exactly the same shade as my photoshopped one. Good for me!

I really don't understand why someone would want an Elise or Elan in a bright colour! :wink:

I have no problem with people pulling out on me in the Elise; I suspect the same will be for this scandalously coloured M100! :-D

My advise would be to get the fixing kits from Geoff so it goes back together nicely after it's respray. :wink:

Right, a decision has been made, I'm going for the Lotus Krypton Green.

A weeks holiday has been booked, work will commence on Monday 14th July. 8) 8) 8)

Just need to purchase the paint, thinners and other gubbins.

Well done....

Can't wait to see what it looks like. I am having to consider a re-spray at the moment and I was seriously considering a change to Krypton green. Only problem is now mine would not be unique, but still a select club anyway.

When you are done, I might have to come and have a look because I think it will look splendid.

Hummmm, hit my first problem with the plan! Lotus Krypton green turns out to be a pearlesant colour meaning it's not available in cellulose.

So I can either go for the 2pack paint instead which is a lot harder to spray as you can't just rub it down if you get any runs (and I'm not skilled enough for that!) OR they will find the closest match to it that is non pearl. I'm going for the latter I think, but I will order a small spraycan first to see what it looks like before I commit to buying enough for the whole car!

Does this pic of a pistachio Elan reflect a truer colour than the one on the previous page? I like this colour!

Are you sure about that Gazza!

It's listed as metallic on the SELOC website.
