Atommad 21 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Gav, did the paintshop remove the mesh grilles or just mask them off? Oh, I just scrolled back before submitting and it looks like on the front clam the mesh hasn't been removed or masked so presumably it was then painted black afterwards? Is that right?

TheKevlarKid 581 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Pfff, where has that month gone?? I'd hoped to have it all done and dusted by now but 'best laid plans' and all that... ive had a few delays, one being the exhaust which should have been done before Xmas but the company doing it for me cancelled it until now. I'm having two made, one for the road with a sports cat and small back box (original 2-11 stage1), the other with a de-cat pipe and larger back box for track which should cover all but the strictest noise limits. All bolted together with 'V' bands for quick change out. Also finished off the last bits of paint. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post TheKevlarKid 581 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Okay, so I'm on the final push to get this done!! Only the front clam and interior left to go on then I can get it up for a geo and get it out to test it!! Unfortunately it's going to have to wait until next weekend when I can get on it again, but until then a little taster of things yet to come!! 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hadrian 12 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Absolutely stunning car! Are you planning on adding 2-Eleven side decals? (if so, where sourced?) I've just had a full suspension sand blast and powder coat done but your car looks nicer! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tim_marra 469 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Forget about a 211 decal on the side, it will need to read 56 Looks fab Gav. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKevlarKid 581 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Cheers guys!! Sigh of relief I'll tell you, could have easily gone the other way and look atrocious! Few more little jobs to do but nothing major. Waiting for a few small parts from Lotus to get the drivers seat in and then she's off for a geo and MOT. Whoop!! @tim_marra I thought I was going to have to put some decals/stripes/something to break up the gold but it's all come together beautifully, can't tell you how chuffed I'm am with it. Doesn't need anything but I may put a roundel on the side with the build number of the car on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamK 29 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 If you do end up finding it too gold and needs breaking up with graphics, there’s only one Lotus colour scheme that will do........ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKevlarKid 581 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 @AdamK the original plan was to do a tribute to that car. However, as the build went along it required a lot more new mechanical parts than I first envisaged. I had to make a few cost savings so had it painted in the single colour. To be fair, it would have been difficult to make it work as good as it looks above, and I'm really happy how it has come out now it's all back together, so we're still good!
