Abmunro,

They turned out looking very nice. Can't wait to see after painted/installed pictures.

Carbon plinth is looking very nice Phil, I'm still up for one when available (still only sourced 2 Elise lights so need to find another 2).

Good Luck with your search..

I know one or two of us started to search for them when I 1st put upn the post about Light conversion.

I think it could be worth while trying Elise/Exige forums,sites as a few of them are converting to LED lamps.

The chap I got mine off was doing this change...

The 2 I have are LEDs, got a good deal on them at Stoneleigh (there were bulb ones available as well), so looking for another 2 LEDs. No rush on these, just a matter of keeping my eyes open :D .

Your conversion looks very good, will it also work with the later (non perspex) central plinth? Might be tempted for the NA (more Elise lights required).

Geoff or any one who is capable and willing is it possible for you to Doctor these pics so that I can see what my car might look like when the light pods are painted. There is a pic with them on Chris's car but he does not have number plate plinth in.

Tony glad to see that the pods arrived ok, will be good to see them and the pictures of the hard top when you have them sprayed and fitted.
Nige, yes the pods would fit with a later spec number plate plinth as it is the same size as the perpex one, and I'm pretty sure the profile is the same too.

Thanks Geoff thanks exactly what I wanted.

Hopefully my paint job is better than that though.

I think it will look great :-D :-D

Well Chaps

My light pods have arrived at SPC design along with my new clips for the hard top and my Elise lamp wiring harness.

The light pods and hardtop should be getting painted up very soon as they say will be able to collect in the new year....


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Rear end and lights look good - you just need an oval PECO or similar exhaust instead of that pea shooter and it would finish it off nicely.
