Lotus Elise

[mgbond]

Some time ago at a pub club meet, there was this Elise.

Picture doesn't do the colour justice but I want to know what colour it is as it's not on Lotus colour chart?



Thanks

Bondy

Was it java?When I had my s1 I also saw one at a meet and I think that's what the chap called it.

Petes car but I can't think what his Forum name is. Doorman or SupraSi should be able to help

Last time I went to the Motor Show there was an Elise in Chili Red which Mrs HJ was particularly taken with. That was pretty much orange to my eyes, and a quick Google shows a few cars listed as that colour which are similar to the one pictured above.

In the pic it looks orange but in person it is a kind of red. So maybe that's it.

Want to know this exact colour so I can get the code. Thinking of wrapping the Noble that colour.

Apparently chilli red looks orange in the sun so maybe this is the colour.

Just bumping this trying to find the owner

Still not seen a chilli red in person but from seeing the pics I'm not sure it's made enough for the Noble.

Is there anyone with a burnt orange lotus in the bognor area.

Ruled out chrome orange so I'm left with chilli red, burnt orange and my current favourite. Chameleon Orange

Hi all - sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, thanks to Doorman for letting me know. I've had the car re-sprayed but it's the original colour as Lotus intended. The colour is called Lava Orange Pearl, and the code is B84.
Hope that helps!

[mgbond]

Cool thanks.

Where are u based s I would like to hav another look

Cheers.

I'm in Waterlooville, although a drive out towards you would be a nice excuse for a blast! More than welcome to hook up so you can have a closer look. From recollection it took something like 5 passes to get the pearl right, and was about 13 ltrs in total. The colour was discontinued by Lotus around 2003/2004 ish I think in favour of Chrome Orange which was more popular. I toyed with the idea of changing to Chrome Orange but stuck with the original, and now it's on the car I'm glad I did.

[mgbond]

That would be very nice if u did. But even better is that I play golf at waterlooville on a Saturday so could catch up after around 4pm for a look.

Cheers
