Looks very good. I´m into grey too if I´m going for a repaint. How is this differs from the OEM moonland grey? BR, Per

It's slightly darker than the Moonland grey. It's pretty much half way between jet black and Moonland grey. If you're interested I could find out the colour code (there's quite a few different shades with the name of "graphite").

Needs rear badges. Looks great otherwise

I've got second-hand Gaz Golds on there at the moment. They're 2cm lowered and have seized-up at that height, so not possible to adjust back to a normal height. As soon as my Bilsteins come back from being refurbished they'll be going back on. Along with a geometry set-up, probably done by Essex Auto-sport.

Gray really dose suit the VX. Looks fantastic.

Give us a clue of the cost?

£1922.50 from www.sca-refinishing.co.uk. However that included a fair amount of fibreglass repair work as well as co-ordinating 3rd-parties for various other repairs & upgrade installations (see my post on inverting the car :S). I got 'mates rates' as my friend owns the bodyshop that did the repairs & re-spray. Although he's worked on Radicals a hell of a lot in the past this was his first Lotus-bred car and even he admits he under-estimated the work involved to un-dress them. So, probably would be as cheap in future.

Yes please, I'd be happy to get the paint code. Thank, Per

any pictures without any effects? hard to truly make out the colour.

  I've asked the guy that did the work a few times, keeps saying he'll check when he's in the workshop and forgets :/ All I can really tell you is that the colour is "Graphite" and if you look really closely at the paint it looks multi coloured. I think they use pearls or something to give it shiny effect.

  Afraid not, I struggle with getting photo's off of my phone and with getting them on to this site

OK, found out the code, and the colour is........... "Technical Grey 177". Not a catchy as 'midnight ninja'.

Aaaa Great thanks. I will check this. Br, Per
