For crying out loud.....

I had spotted that one when browsing the cars on eBay. At least the seller did say the originals could be re-installed with some work. hinting that they may not be seen by all as an improvement on the originals.

It vould be argued Lotus went there first ( or at least did similar)

[mayevora]

Ooooh dear

[slewthy]

It just looks so incomplete.

[Mr_John111]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

Makes it look like a really cheep kit-car. Must do wonders for Lotus' reputation.

But really, what is it with round lights being *SO* strongly fashionable these days? Is imitating Ferrari really the only acceptable way for so many people?

[MrDangerUS]

Round lights are too fugly, IMO

We need a hall of shame Lotus thread!

[shawty_82]

Who does that?! Tis almost a crime!

[GordonMasson]

Just wrong.......on so many levels... Think i can figure out why the put it in a barn for 13 years!

The lengths people go to do a round rear light conversion eh! It would appear that both the Esprit and the Renault Alpine are subject to some pretty hideous conversions in the body style from the factory original. Some of which look to be very expensive too, what a waste of time and effort.

I agree. It looks awful. Looks like a home built kit car from the back.

The headline does state "Rare"

Rare as in one off and never seen hopefully.

Nice, he's grafted the back of his caravan on there so he doesn't have to tow it. Great weight saving thinking. Wonder where the "facilities" are kept

[DarrylV8]

now i've managed to stop laughing and gone back and looked at the photo's again for heavens sake its got a "Turbo" bumper;

[andydclements]

Lets not knock turbo bumpers on S3s, says the man who will some day be trying to sell his S3 which has those bumpers on it and will probably have a turbo hatch as well.

[philbrooker]

I bought this car!

Rest assured job number one is put the SD1 lights back !
