Uniquely tailored features of the Lotus Exige “Espionage”:

· Bespoke navy paint with strategically placed pin stripes to match the fabric used on the Gieves spy suit

· Pin stripe flashes on the side and underneath the scoop

· V-section on the alloy wheels shaved back to silver

· The seat inserts are tailored from the Gieves classic navy blue pin stripe along with matching dashboard and black leather door inserts

· In keeping with the lining of the suit the rear of the seats are lined with silk

· In keeping with the classic brogue shoes fitting of an English secret agent, bespoke black leather floor mats have been developed with brogue detailing and screwed in to the floor panel with silver studs

· All air-vents also have a silver surround

I really don't mind it!? Whether I'd have one or not I don't know...I probably would actually.

Didn't read too much - is there a price premium? Would pay for the privilege over a 'standard' Exige!

i think the price was £39K LOL whats that all about.

Not my cuppa either, but it takes all types and it's not exactly hideous

I cant say I would do it to my car but I do like it. It is original and fun. If I were to critisize, I would say the pin stripe makes it a bit "business like" for a fun car.

I hate boring interiors, lets face it you spend your time in the car so the interior has to be as special as the outside.

I think it's pretty cool in Paul Smith Mini kind of way.

Nice gimmick, crap idea. That fancy suit material will last about a week before looking totally cack.
