Just leather in mine!

Surfex HD is very good stuff for engine bays in my experience. It can be used at various dilutions for other kinds of cleaning jobs too.

I think the missing engine cover is likely one of JMG cost cutting/weight saving changes. I bought mine new in 2015 and it didn't have one either, but a Chrome Orange S for sale from the same dealer did, so I asked if that could be put on mine instead! I'm a big fan of the Toyota engine but it's not a pretty one to look at!

Not sure if there's a UK distributor somewhere. I had a look on elise-shop for example but couldn't find them.

Best of luck!

Exactly, and given the likely rarity I'd say it's an acceptable compromise

Higher mileage than what you're after. Although the ad suggests only 3 in this exact spec were made https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/10633202?cId=10570148&cId=7612933&cId=8677047&cId=9692088&cId=10637829&cId=10241521&cId=10633202&cId=10295647&cId=9149459&cId=10714528&cId=10155670&cId=10529307&cId=10711144&cId=9822182&cId=9822184&cId=9822187&cId=10615053&cId=8549300&cId=10369920&cId=9522386&cId=10366791

Love Amethyst Grey! Looks smart

All dressed up with no particular place to go

Very interested to see the end result!! You've picked a great company to do the work in my opinion. Having been a customer of KDS myself for 8 years or so now, I think Kelly and the team are amongst the best detailers/painters in the world. Ah sorry! Only realised it's a joint effort at the end of the video!

Looks amazing!! What a fantastic setting!

Silver S1 Elise and a yellow Evora, maybe an S, in my neck of the woods yesterday afternoon. Nice to see 2 Lotus's in a day. A rare occurrence!

I use GTechniq I2 Tri-Clean to clean the leather and then follow that with their L1 Leather Guard which has UV Protectants in it. Both are easy to apply and don't leave any residue. I probably do this every 3-6 months depending on the level of use. Really good products in my opinion.

Just had this exact tyre and size configuration fitted on my Evora. Really impressed so far. I didn't think the initial turn in could be improved but it has! Noticed the difference within the first few corners. The steering feels slightly lighter in general too which I like. The tyre noise at speed is also markedly lower than the P-Zero Corsas that were on the car previously.

Just hit 10,000 miles in mine on Friday.
