What color would you paint the Lotus 211?

I saw a BRG 211 in the paddock at the LCUSA event at Laguna Seca; it was gorgeous

all the matte colors are played out, I'd avoid that. unless you have a racing suit by Ed Hardy.

 

i always liked the classic lotus colours myself; british green and yellow, or the red/gold/white type 49

 

That would be my choice ! Or if you wanted to vary it , reverse the green to yellow then trimmed in the green.

 

Can't go wrong with BRG.

 

I wouldn't go for too much orange, as it would make it look too much like the old McLaren racers. Blues, greens, white, with some yellow or blue--these work best in my opinion. Black swallows up the details, but you can use it to make the eye follow specific lines, or to highlight something in the middle of a sea of black. Red could work well too. How about black and silver? That looks good on the 340Rs.

Interesting car. Looking at other websites, I see that Lotus offered them with headlights, etc., for a street legal option too. Is that an available option for the US, or were the ones with headlights not sold in the US. What I am asking is, was there no street-legal version of this car for the US?

Thanks!

 

I would go with a Bugatti/Talbot Lago Blue

 

How much do these sell for?

 

In the UK, to be street legal, they would need to pass MOT. For that, one would have to buy the legalization kit for an extra thousand pounds or so. They are not street legal by default. Not sure, but it sounds like you are saying they are?

Very interesting to hear about your friend's project. If he makes this kit, how much is he planning to sell it for? How difficult would it be to install? Got any contact information or website details?

 

As you are leaning toward White . . .

Invert colors [Like a Negative]

Yellow will become Blue.

Change Blue to BRG.

If so inclined, put Lotus Yellow here and there.

I'd go with a persian or maybe even nightfall blue with yellow stripes with maybe a little white or black stripes to boot....just saying

 

Matt white with a proper widebody and power upgrade.... Rules are for the other guys, why would you leave it stock ? Seriously make it a real racer...
You can always buy a cheap throphy when ever you feel the need.

 

+1 for BRG

 

I would not change a thing concerning the paint scheme as I would try to seperate myself ie 'be original' with my on-track results, jmho.

 

Now ve vait.
