5 Months off the road and the Elise to Exige conversion is complete.
The colour is Grigio Telesto - Lambo Superleggera/LP colour, a bit marmite tbh but it looks amazing on the road, pictures do it no justice.
Enjoy!

Some pics etc for the people who may be interested-
Thought after 68k miles on the VHPD thought it would be best to strip the engine down to see what kind of state it is in, and if it needs rebuilt. I need to send the head off to Dan to sort the Shims out and stop them rattling when cold too...

Ive been offered about 5/6 Evos (5/6s/9s) in px for my Clio, Im not interested to be honest because I had an evo 5 before this car and dont fancy going back to the running costs!
Just thought that was a bit strange, anyone else come from an Evo to a Clio?
I am being drawn to the dark side! (this is not a for sale ad, im not 100% yet)
Ive got a taste for a honda powered elise/exige. My brother isnt selling his anymore so thats out of the equation.
I have had the car for about 7 months(ish) and its been fun but Im looking for a change or need...
Please PM me with your results so I can update the list!
