PJ 58 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi Ya'll, so after having an Elise 2002, later an Elise 2006 R111 I now made the step to the Exige V6. That's a difference! Having done some tweaks, mainly with some parts of Alias23, Eltech and my friends at Lotus vd Kooi Netherlands I took some pictures today to share. Remarks & suggestions are always welcome, next upgrade is Alias his new intake which if all goes well sits in the car in August?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PJ 58 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 My Lotus dealer 'van der Kooi' did it. I think it was ok to do so, one time only programmable though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kristof Thys 171 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hoi buur! Welcome aboard! The new instrument cluster is a nice touch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PJ 58 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks my 'zuider buur'! Yeah, it looks better than the previous which was (a bit) dull.. If there is any suggestion on upgrades, just let me know! I just want to make tweaks to have it (more) unique. Any parts from Matteo perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PJ 58 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Yes correct, they took the exact milage and transferred it. This exercise can only be done by an official dealer and only once as I understood, which makes sense.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM C8RKH 5,811 Posted July 18, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Love your red highlights. They stand out great. Nice job indeed. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate.

PJ 58 Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) Having the Exige I've now become a bit of an enthusiast tweaking it..like many others here.. I'll be showing some pictures of upgrades soon. I already did the upgraded gauge cluster, side sills from Eltech, Airfilter and badge from Alias23. Now I've got fabulous 430 Carbon scoops (new make on TLF), red stripe front and back canards awaiting install end Feb. This will be followed be the new V3 lights from Greg, the 410 diffusor set and the 380 front panel painted in my car color C93 hopefully end March. Thanks, for incentivising me with all your ideas & beautiful cars spending money with no ROI Edited February 10 by PJ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kristof Thys 171 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I would put some real Lotus Mars Gold-coloured gloss wheels on your car, that would look ace!! (and I happen to sell my set of Lotus Mars Gold wheels and tyres ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
