How about a couple of HUGE draped Lotus logo's in gold leaf similar to the last F1 car? Front and a rear corner <br>

Was rather thinking of something a bit more subtle Brian, although the idea ain't a bad one for a hardtop, someone suggested having a large JPS logo on the hardtop, wish i knew how to do these things on pc so i could evaluate it 1st !. My decal place is going to design my ideas on pc, before making them for the car, so any ideas you guys have got are more than welcome !

Timmo, excellent ideas !, already got black carbon lotus wheel centres, but still considering getting JPS ones, will look when on the car. Might have chance of S2 Nardi steering wheel, keeping fingers crossed, not sure about gold exhaust, end cap possible ?. Gold mirrors ?, see where your coming from with the plaque, will have to look whats about, did think about one of them constructers champions badges. I did see that esprit in club lotus mag with winners laurels on the wing, & am seriously considering that. Thought of having turbo elan on the door, as the turbo esprit, not great big letters, just big enough, don't want this to look boy racerish, want it to look pukka job, as if lotus had done it themselves, also gold stripe down the side with jps team lotus in small letters, what do you think ?

[timmo]

With you on all that Paul, stripe down side yep , very low down on side , with small union jack as well. This is gonna look great.<br><br>Those litthe constructers champions badges - they were for sale on the stand to the left of the LEC stand, sorry dont know whose it was but they were there in the same place last year as well. <br><br>

Here's a few pics of parts we have replaced, 1st is the bent prongeron -<br> <br>and the new straight one on the car -<br><br>and now the radiator bottom mounting frame ( Bent )<br><br>From different angle-<br><br>And now the fans back in new frame all painted, they actually turn now the frame is straight !<br><br>Hopefully this will all be going back together tomorow ?

My pleasure to give it to Paul if he wants it for his JPS special.<br>

[Paul.P]

Thats very kind of you Costas, i would seriously consider it when i get my hardtop. Please tell me are they silver ?

[Costas]

I am more than certain that its the traditional Lotus Logo in Silver-Green-Yellow (could be orange), I ll have a look when I get home.

[Costas]

Here it is!<br><br><br><br>If you like it Paul, it will be my present for your brave JPS project.<br><br>Costas<br><br><br>PS. I am so stupid that I added a Cola tin for size comparison, like as the Wheel at the rear wasnt enough  :-[

[Doug]

Nice deal for a hardtop !!   ;D

[mark29]

[Paul.P]

Is there 2 logo's there Costas ?, a silver one & a yellow & green one ?

[Costas]

Can you picture them in your mind placed all together?<br><br>Its the Lotus Logo but in 3 layers. You have to apply them all 3 together.<br><br>Are you looking for these? <br>http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27375&item=4540167838&rd=1<br><br>

[Paul.P]

Costas, see what you mean now, the silver only on the F1 car threw me. I honestly don't know what it would look like on a hardtop, if you would like to send me them i will try to evaluate them on a friends hardtop. I will send you my address. Many thanks.Paul
