Is LGM still doing a US/Federal pannel?

I'm sure she is, she's just been flying about, and busy. Maybe when she gets back to San Fran, which I think is soon, she'll get to them. I think hers are two units that are direct replacements for the EOM. I don't recall whether they require any modifications to the car, though.

Anyway, US plates are 12 inches wide by 6 inches high.

I had a good day today; 2 of the 4 pods are done and the pannel mould is done! Shouldn't be long

Beautiful, cleans it up nicely.

£200 for glass composite including:

'Plug in' Wiring harness for the round Lotus lamps and LEDs.
LED Number plate light.
Primed in 2 pack.
Fitting (either Bonded or bolted).

Or if you are brave then £150 for the bare pannel as it comes out of the mould.

I think this may be big enough for the Federal size plate but the top edge of the plate may be covered by the boot lid or as you say Stateside - Trunk lid. :-D

I'll have a look when my car comes back from the garage.

At that price I can see you being a very busy man

by **taffy** » Sat 17.11.2007, 16:07

Sounds good to me ;-)

Let me know when the order book opens.

I'm a bit late to this thread (as ever!). If the moulded bit is £200 then how much are the lights ?

Is it paintable - i.e. could it be taken to a paint shop and sprayed the same colour as the car ?

by **Gary** » Sun 18.11.2007, 18:57

Geoff if you have time, can I see what a medina version would look like on the garage queen ?

by **Dico** » Sun 18.11.2007, 19:09

Jesus that looks good!
Cheers Geoff/John
