Hmm. M100 in During April = sometime before the summer?

My guess would be a month or two after that at the earliest, by the time they tender, lotus accept, prototypes made, tested, remade, gear up production and actually supply the finish products.

They can't come soon enough for me, once available it will be new seals + new roof = no paddling (hopefully)

They could have mine in now, just loan me a europa or an elise/exige + winch

Just got off the phone to Hethel - The initial samples were crap. Another pair are due there this week and will be fitted to a Milton Keynes-based car. If all's well (and they have 50+ back orders), they'll be available later in the summer.

Cheers Sy.

Looks like my estimate was about right!

Mark, are you saying there now available ?

by **paza1** » Thu 10.08.2006, 20:30

No, I am not saying they are available. I haven't checked lately. In theory, I should get a call from the dealer when they are in but I check once a month ish anyway. Sorry for any confusion, I was just clarifying how to order spares in general.
Cheers
