what you need to do.....

is get on Pistonheads,  post a few pics of your new Exige and after a few months give us a running report of what it's like!  I for one would be very interested in its long term reliability and how you find living with it every day. My main issue with the Exige is getting in and out of it! but then I'm not a 20 something anymore, (unfortunately!).
