Thanks for that,call me biased but i like the colour,and have yet to see another one in this colour,so it could be a bit of a rarity these days,it makes a change from black,white or red!,seriously though,has anyone else in the club got an SE3 ?

really really nice colour, remember seeing one when it was new and thinkin 'oh aye!'

unfortunately the list is missing the most horrendous calibra colour to keep clean..... black 80L fantastic for those of us who like washing cars. daily....
altho few months time the SE9 should be on the road :)

My Logbook Says Mine is Silver Aswell, Which it so Isnt in My Mind....
However Looking on That Guide and Under My Bonnet I Can Only Find The Reference 97L Not The 270 Aswell?
Could This Mean My Car is Officially Just Titanium?

Either Way is it Possible to Ask The DVLA to Change The Colour Listed?

The only way to tell is by looking at the slam panel and comparing the code with the list at the beginning of this thread.

There are a couple of very similar colours. Regency blue or Westminster blue if I remember rightly?

Hi welcome to the site! I don't think that is an SE.

And those lights are absolutely criminal... stop and ask yourself "Do they fit in with the rest of the car, or do they stand out like a sore thumb?" - then throw them in the bin! It's a classy car you have there, not a Saxo.

As you're already discovering, the general concensus amongst members on this site, is that Lexus lights look plasticcy & tacky.  The 5 reflectors in the cluster look very cluttered.

If you must have different lights, you might consider afterburners.  Otherwise, the standard lights are probably preferable...
