Theres so many silicones and edges that i'm just doing the worst!! I spent a week rubbing down the inside of mine and it soon looks poo again!! Like you said its going to be used

fkin outstanding work lads
cant believe i missed this thread before now
all the way through the pics i was thinking "change the inside from white"
dings car was soo much better with a matt black interior rather than glossy white because the white reflected light too much and even caused blind spots through the rear view mirror at times (im told!)
always liked this car, even in its tiny hp days, even pre md240 turbo let alone this engine
moved on a bit since then...

why the interior colour change then? is the silver to stay (i forget as your man wrote 56 different stages of painting something ) or is that just part of his painting nevness?

Looking good matey!!!!!
On the Exige racing front
Martin my old times round Donno aren't really that representative as the car is so different in its new spec. But a car with 250BHP (we are hoping mine will be nearer 300BHP) does regular 1 min 8 sec laps of donno.
My tank is now 70 litres, you can't physically fit any bigger in. But the team Scandal Elise from last year had the same capacity tank and did by far the least fuel stops of anyone.

This thread is a real insight!
I like all you've done to it including the 4x4. Ive not followed it that close up until now and in the Frod mag.
The silver looked real deep by the end of the tread. Cant wait to see more. Good luck matey!

Seans Elise is supposed to be a proper proper piece of kit and I have no doubt its true but to piss all over Rouses and touring car times seems bonkers and to match gt cars times is amazing.
Looks cool Lee keep up the good work Simon.
