talon Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'm putting together my xmas wish list. Has anybody stateside purchased polished sill protectors with the esprit logo on them? Where is a reputable place to get them? Some of the ebay ones look dodgy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhastaph Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Not stateside, but I got mine from Marcus These one's aren't polished metal either, they're a sort of rubbery clear plasticy sort of thing. But, they've been on the car for 2 years and still look like new and really good Quote Hey, can anyone smell fuel????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdavelotus Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have designed some full sized sill plates to completely fill the sill area with the latest Esprit logo on but it's still on the drawing board so to speak. I've printed it off and given to my guy who will make them. I'd see if you can get some sills in US before looking further a field. Shipping cost for a flat piece of metal will make them uneconomical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talon Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Those were my thoughts as well. None of the normal US places have them listed on their websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backmarker Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Dave, When will yours be in production? I'd like some for my V8..........and Christmas is round the corner B) Graham.

superdavelotus Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi Graham, Not sure yet. I have been a little too eager in the past as I've been told by my manufacturers. It seems they drag their heels at everything I put to them. I suppose it's back to the low volume stuff again and not much demand. To say I handed over drawings about 3 months ago will be an understatement. I will chase up again today. I won't take any orders until I have some sets in my hands. I have fallen victim to this in the past and it just stressed me out. Here's some images, I've kept them simple. There are two slightly different sizes fonts. I think the smaller one is better so Iam going with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdavelotus Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 They look like PNM ones which are the same as I sell too! Unless someone else is doing full sized ones? Dave Walters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Günter Posted November 26, 2007 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 i know a man who is working in a company for metall(aluminum) plates and labels (for door bells, company signs, advertisements). I'm sure if you ask him and give the right measurements he can arrange a small production line.

talon Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 The problem is really getting them over here in the States. Shipping costs on something like that would be horrible. I am going to try my local Lotus dealer first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Günter Posted November 26, 2007 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 i think it is not a problem if you know who is to ask about it. Every manufacturer of such door plates an advertisement labeling can produce some engraved and anodized sill plates...
