Just a word of warning. If you want to keep the bodykit looking good then seriously consider having the front splitter and rear arch aero pods stonechip protected with tape.
I bought a year old 220 Cup with 4500 miles on the clock and the pods were knackered.
I had to repaint them and apply a matte stonechip tape. I also edged them in a small gauge rubber edging too.
They went from this...
To this....
Also so consider having the front end and Sills Armourfended too. This car had been done but not the upper part of the front end.
I have managed to touch in the 5 stonechips I had and have got the cut section of tape to cover it. Should be bulletproof after that.

See you there Chris.

That's Paul from the Club Lotus Cambs group.
They were there with a stand at the weekend.

Welcome Paul.
I look forward to meeting up with you at some point.
I think we have a few people around the MK/ Bedford area to get a proper meet going.

Cheers

Same here. They look absolutely stunning but would only buy if legal for the UK roads.

No, you will need the extended Steering Wheel Spacer.
It will mean however that your indicator stalk is more than a fingertip away
Thanks.
I ended up buying the original Lotus Boss from Seriously which was the best option as I fitted the same parts as fitted in the factory as an option.
Cost about £450 in total but well worth it. Also reduced the wheel size to 280mm which I really like.

Hi, I have a 2016 220 Cup and want to fit a B-G to it. It has airbag deletion btw.
Having surfed the net it doesn't seem to be a straightforward fit unless you buy the £200 Lotus Boss from Seriously.
Has anyone successfully fitted a B-G on an S3 Elise without the need of the Lotus Boss?
Regards
Matt

Ok so I flew to Aberdeen to collect my new car from Montrose on Friday and drive back down to Bedford on the Saturday.
Had an awesome drive back through the Northumbrian National park.
Got a picture of the new car with the hills behind on the England Scottish border.
Looking forward to LitP, Silverstone Classic and Lotus Fest.

Hi Matt. The Lotus Drivers Club are at the Silverstone Classic next month. If you are unable to get a pass through CL, drop an email to s.mason@lotusdriversclub.org.uk as we may be able to help
Thanks Chris. I'll do that. Also will speak to him about the Beaulieu meet too as discussed on LDC.

Heh, would you like to be a Full Forum Member on here as well?
Oooops, I've just had a look and Club admission ticket purchases expired on 31st May. Really sorry. You have to buy General Admission tickets now I'm afraid. You could have a word with Club Lotus and see if there is some way of getting an infield pass anyway? They're pretty helpful folks.
Hi Alan,
I'm sure I could be persuaded. I'll take a look at the benefits.
I'll contact Club Lotus and see if they still have any places on the stand. I would of bought earlier but I hadn't made my mind up on buying a car until last week.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks

It is a Club Lotus organised infield gathering Ian and Matt. You've missed the Early Bird tickets but if you are a member you can still buy them with a code, see link above.
If not then you can be Joe Public and then yep, it's cattle car park..! Don't think that TLF are doing anything specific.
Thanks Alan,
I've just joined Club Lotus. Which code is that? Will I get access to the Club Lotus parking area?
Cheers,
Matt

Hi, I am new here and would like to bring my 220 Cup along. Is it too late to get tickets and infield passes?
Thanks

Hallo again Matt.
Can't wait to see you and the car
Give Josler a nudge and get him out in that Elan. Be great to see you both for a pint sometime, I pass through your neck of the woods quite often mate.
Will do Dave. I'll tap him up to get it out soon.

Welcome to TLF, toxic green 220 Cup, future classic for sure!
That's why I'm buying it. It's going to be with me for a while.

Thanks for the welcomes.
Scotty, I think you replied to my thread on MLOC as I recognise that pic.

Hi, I'm Matt.
Although I don't actually own a Lotus yet I am potentially collecting an Elise 220 Cup in Toxic Green in a few weeks.
Just posting to get to know people before ownership.
I have already bought my tickets to Lotus Fest and am looking forward to going and meeting like minded owners.

No problem. Just make sure they use a matte version as the normal glossy version doesn't look very good.
