BTG 2 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 (edited) Evening all. Pretty late to the party posting anything up and reading through stuff on here! I bought this car last May from I believe a member on here, ticking off a box that’s been blank ever since I saw an orange S2 pull into Silverstone campsite when I was 15 back in 2006. Several french and German cars later, managed to scrape the pennies together! Spec was pretty amazing from the guy I got it from, best colour (matching the old RB182 clios!), carbon front access panel, carbon seats, carbon sills, alcantara throughout, uprated 410 clutch & flywheel, and the Alias carbon mirrors. It’s been on a fair few trips since where COVID allowing, including some wet Nurburgring laps which left stains on the seat...all it seems to do is make me want to save up for a 410 now! Don’t have many plans with it as think it’s bob on for a 350, but I would love to put a Cup wing on there at some point soon, and some harnesses. Any further down the line and I’d be into 380 money I guess! Anyway, thanks for the future advice I will probably be asking for! A few pics below, some on the Ring-trip with my old RS4 I sold a mate to fund this (still regret that), and an Oulton reflection shot taken by LOT photo guy.

Gold FFM Techyd 255 Posted January 15 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 15 Lovely car, I thought the 350s still had the 4 rear lights with the 380's upwards getting the changed rear? Edit: Check Lotus website, they do....maybe you've got a 380 after all or someone specced it that way? Edit 2: No, ignore me, looked at your first rear pick again and its clearly got them! But latter ones don't? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But latter ones don't? Unless I'm mistaken, aren't the 2nd lot (inner lights) more reflectors than lights? That's probably why they don't show up in some lighting? Would have been nice if it was a 380! One day maybe... Edited January 15 by BTG spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
