Looks fantastic from every angle.

[johnny]

Very nice.

I think the Elan looks wicked in white. And with white alloys..

Cake on the icing

[Ekapol]

Holy burrito!

Which parts are stock?

Even the keys was changed to Esprit's

Love the gauges

[Specky]

I don't care what the rest say...That's not bad for a white Elan







































Good skills girl

where did LGM Elan #2 come from ????

maybe you can get them together and make pink baby Elans

[lotusgirlmarie]

Kjeld...

[Doug]

so did he get fed up with the clutch and give it to you?

I thought it should be his as it's the other double bubble Elan.

So what you mean is it is the other LGM development/brand Elan

[Ekapol]

Yes, Doug. We are talking LGM Edition Elan now.

News was out there that Stripey is infected too. She now has the same front lips as LGM #1 Elan

I must say that I am impressed with your taste -- that's another mod I'd considered. Problem is the front of the car is so low already--that's why I didn't do it. You'd better be careful!!

Hope to hear more about it and see pics in the Stripey thread

[Ekapol]

Thanks Doug

The front lips don't come cheap.

Since then I have to drive in and out of the parking lot at an angle.

Be very careful, yes. In the past, I touched those concrete blocks at the parking lot few times with the yellow stripes on the front bumper Got a pretty good sense of where the lips are now. So far not a bump there.

The best part is that this thing is just weird. Other than it looks pretty nice with these 2 plastic pieces from the Esprit, but you can actually feel aerodynamic in action. Subtle but discernable. The car becomes more stable and even track straighter on the freeway.

LGM told me that she felt it weird when she just put them on her white beauty. I was curious but found it's exactly every single word she mentioned. Weird in a good way.

Marie, cam we have a close up photo of u`r Lips please

Would it do it if I post you a close up photo of my lips for you

[Doug]

no this is the LGM thread, Stripey's lips go in the Stripey thread.

may be the right time for a front bumper respray if you haven't done it yet. White lip under the front of Stripey will look a bit

They are almost greenish gray. Picture HERE

[Monty]

Quite like that and the Elise lads do rate the front splitter.

Just a few questions

Does it sit any lower than the original rubber lip?
what modifications are needed to get to fit?

Since Pinky has been lowered and i have a sloped drive just worried that if i fit one it will get smashed within 10 mins off fitting

[Dave M]

Gee...where did Marie get the idea to start with a white Elan, modify it, then get herself a red one?

I guarantee your red car has better paint than mine, though!

As someone who has been lucky enough to see LGM's car in person and go for a ride, the pictures don't quite do it justice. Too many little details you can't see... A very cool car.
