Gold FFM CocoPops Posted May 1, 2021 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Yup, “black pack” (roof (if you have hardtop), roll hoop, transom, front access panel, boot, mirrors) is £400, transom only is £600.

Inversed Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 My dealer told me its not possible to get only transom in black (Exige final). It's probably quite easy to remove that part and wrap it right? Can Lotus letters be removed easily on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight savings in the least beneficial part of the car, and something about cladding the lower extremeties of the car with a material that's impossible to repair and likley to be impossible to replace in the future would make me neurotic. Even as-is I've postponed the arrival of my FE until I can comfortably get my driveway regraded, and as I drive around now I obcessively look at entries into parking garages and shopping centres, speed bumps, driveway entries etc. and wonder whether or not they'll be the cause of me having to repair/repaint my standard aero pack.😵 On 02/05/2021 at 05:35, Inversed said: My dealer told me its not possible to get only transom in black (Exige final).

My dealer suggested I avoid the black pack, as they could arrage to have the same sections of the car wrapped in satin-black for a fraction of the cost (of note, all options here in Oz are subject to a 30% luxury car tax in addition to a poor exchange rate). For me the cost was a bonus, but more-so I chose to avoid the black-pack so that I had the ability to go back to full colour in the future if I wanted. Peeling off vinyl (that further protects the underlying paint) is easy; colour matching a metallic paint like isotope green - not so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delhard Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 My Exige is an inch lower than the cups. Multi story car parks are an issue so I don’t use them. Speed humps are ok if approached sensibly. It’s not a daily so I’ve not had any real problems. If not spending on cf aero I’d have spent out on a hardtop and had black wheels for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inversed Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Is there any sensible way to lowering seats on FE cars for highier people (I'm 6'3'' - 189cm)? I know about Tillett seats, but I would love if I didn't have to change them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, how everyone is different. I wanted a body coloured spoiler, but it was £600 for spoiler paint, £600 for end plates paint... So £1200 was a sufficient chunk of the carbon aero imo. Luckily, the option list means everyone can choose what they want. 1 Quote Current: 2021 Lotus Elise Cup 250 FE in Isotope Green, Red Alcantara Interior, Carbon Aero Kit, AirCon, Carpets & Mats, NVH pack, Cruise Control, Stereo, Red Calipers.

Black wheels are a no-cost option on the FE's (thank God, as the standard option isn't silver, but "machined", which I think will look like a set of cheap aftermarket garbage wheels). 10 hours ago, Delhard said: Very true, fab how they’ll all be very individual True - Lotus have always struggled to unload the Cup's...I'm sure it'd be even worse if the only option was Isotope Green like mine.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
