tim_marra 469 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Over on LotusTalk there is someone making carbon 'sail panels', although they don't have the centreline herringbone feature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravo73 1,291 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 There are. (Hkfever & Win-Ace both do). But the weaves won’t match between the 3 items. Which, arguably, would look worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THAT - indeed - would be a brave move in the best sense of British Understatement! I think the tailgate would look much better fully painted or at least "half-painted" like the "007-Evora 410" one-off: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although it is technically possible, in practice, it is too difficult (ie expensive) to get the carbon weaves to match between the roof, the intermediate panel and the bootlid. Hence the plastic panel. Even if it not match the Line I think it will looks better to get it full carbon un place of this plastic parts not matching with the other carbon parts Quote Why be classic when you can be unique Link to post Share on other sites

LotusLeftLotusRight 1,227 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I bought that for my kids at Xmas a few years ago. The rear wing and both mirrors had snapped off by lunchtime. It’s safer left in its box! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went with black wing part, carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber rear diffuser cover (saves a lot of weight) and carbon fiber hood panel. I was concerned about black and carbon fiber conflicting. But they wind up looking great together in this pattern. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post RobinS007 44 Posted May 25, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 My Evora has been getting some serious TLC at CMC in Edinburgh...new clutch, re-conded compressor, service, MOT and a new 2ubular exhaust!! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pete757 158 Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Lovely colour! Black wheels really suit that. Are you fitting a full 2ubular system by any chance? Or just the backbox? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobinS007 44 Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Yeah, the dark wheels suit the colour of he car...definitely wouldn’t work as well with shiny silver alloys. Just the back 2ubular back box for now, I’m led to believe from Craig it sounds epic especially on the overrun, but not actually picked the car up yet!! 9 hours ago, C8RKH said: Saw your car undressed, naked and in bits last Tuesday when I dropped off my VX at Craigs.

Gazm 30 Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 The natural progression should be from my Sports Racer to a 400, but the GT is the true evolution in style. The 400 is a good machine but when Lotus use GT styling for the new 410 and the aftermarket is buzzing with GT bumpers for the S1 and 400 you know the 400 styling was more Audi/Lamborghini than Lotus.....
