R300XXX

Signature Orange got my vote

looking at deroure the uprights are also a different part for the 410 hatch

The gravelly noise is standard, some are better than others. Not sure on the clutch rattle, I’m sure someone else will be along shortly to advise on this bit

For track use you may want to consider a 410 for the charge cooler if budget is flexible

I assume that will be a pre face lift one?

As above

4yr service should be £950 inc vat

I believe it has been bought by a lotus dealership so maybe worth keeping an eye out

They’ve been for sale quite a while. I don’t think the factory ones came in gloss black so assume they have been powder coated at some pointed

Have you got any pics ?

If you can’t find him I can ask him for his contact details

Might be worth a look

Someone has just posted about selling their 350 on V6 owners FB page. Description below

Castle posted this on their Facebook a couple of weeks ago and didn’t state what it was, maybe a 390. Looks Like a 350 with forged wheels and 410 side scoops
