About the Project
This Exige was brought to us by the Lotus Dealers Bell & Colvill for a small modification to the trim specifications. The car was being sold to a gentleman who already has a small collection of Lotus’, one of which is an S1 Esprit in white with tartan trim. He quite liked the idea of this Exige pairing up with his Esprit in colour and trim.
The seats were restyled to compliment the original S1 seat design and were re-trimmed in the original S1 tartan cloth and the green hide is a current Lotus Cars colour. The sill cappings were trimmed in hide, along with the speaker panels and gear lever. Door panels were painted body colour, with the inserts trimmed with tartan cloth.
The dashboard top, instrument binnacle and climate control panel were trimmed in black Alcantara to minimise dashboard reflection in the windscreen whilst driving.
