I love it, fantastic buy (hopefully!). Was thinking about one of these as a good investment and alternative to a 370Z but I'm not sure it's a great choice as a daily driver. Maybe I'm wrong!?
I like purple, looks great to me. I'd much rather have that than black or silver on a TVR. I'm sure all the attention and positive comments will soon outweigh the doubters.
If you personally think the purple is too light you could paint the wheels grey which might have the effect of giving the impression of a darker car.
