Gashead1105 341 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Stratton have an Elise cup advertised, you can probably go and have a test drive if you give Alex a call. I don't think the new Colchester dealer have any demonstrators yet, they had an Elise Sport 220 in the showroom when I went in early December but couldn't do test drives. I wouldn't bother with Castle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scotty435 1,257 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Spotted this 250 in the iconic colour ( Isotope) today probably the only Cup in this colour and have to say A052s look good on the car, looks like the tread pattern makes the tyres look like wider than the A048s.

JG220 286 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 It must be a typo. I have most of the options on mine, including Carbon Aero Pack (£3500), Light weigh brakes (£1500), AC (£1200), Red Callipers (£350), Hard Top (£1200), Exclusive paint (£2200), Full Carpets (£350), Mats (£100), Sound Insulation (£350), Cruise (£100), Stereo (£400) and Interior Colour Pack (£450, i think). And i think that lists it at about £61,500 ish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However small they were on the S2 Exige, they were handy at times with the roof off And no PPF ahead of he rear wheels ? Edited February 24, 2019 by sjw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal H 933 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 It’ll be worth the wait 👍 agree with above, adding ppf to the area in front of the rear wheels is essential. It’s disgraceful that Lotus removed this to save a few pennies. When getting it done you may as well add it along the whole lower sill. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am aware of how vulnerable both the front clam and ahead of the rear wheels is. Collecting from the factory, do I take some extra thick cling film and gaffa tape with me and apply on Potash Lane.😀 Edited February 26, 2019 by sjw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peapod 106 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Mine came with the front clam protected, and I "think" yours should as well, but you had better check. The dealer forgot to do the rear part but has said that they will repaint any chips if I get any before it is fitted. However, I have fitted some myself for now until it is professionally applied, just to be sure. I have a pattern if you want a copy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal H 933 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Given that they STILL claim on their website under Features - Exterior: Clear sill stone chip protection fillm I would contact them to get them to confirm that they will be fitting it to your car as you're not collecting from a dealer. Also, I don't think the front clam comes with ppf as standard either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjw 19 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I'm sure they will hide behind the "errors and omissions excepted" phrase PPF on rear arches gone the same way as sun visors, tpms, engine cover, USB port only on near side, etc ☹️ It really is taking the proverbial on a £50k+ car Peapod, I don't believe any cars come from the factory with ppf on front clam. Its not an option, but even Scott Walker thinks it is essentlal Edited February 26, 2019 by sjw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mak44 0 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi, The driveway I have has a relatively steep incline and then levels out before the garage. Anyone know how much ground clearance there is with the Cup 250, if I reverse it on? I’m assuming i’ll need ramps, but I can’t try this out during a test drive, so trying to cover every base! thanks!
