Hi W.J.,

If you are still looking for badges for the rear I have a spare set. Not new, but good as. See attached pictures.

If you are looking for them new S J Sportscars do them for about £91 + P&P. Happy to do mine for £30 all in.

Cheers

Matt

Back on Topic..


Still working on the Paint code issue....

I have the wheel drawing from OZ now and there is no Paint details specified.
The Drawing has all the manufacturing details (Dimensions & Technical Requirements). The final finish and final wheel identification is down to an OZ internal Code linked to the Lotus Part Number.
This means that the Colour specified by Lotus was from an OZ sample swatch (from their available colours) the time of original manufacture.
When Aftersales order more wheels the Lotus Part Number identifies an OZ Specification (including the final paint specification). We have no record of what the OZ Paint Code is.
As time passes they may not be able to reproduce the same colour due to manufacturing restrictions. This is why we have to eventually purchase one final batch to satisfy our all time requirements.

I guess the only real solution is to get the wheel refurbishment company to match the paint on the wheel or to pick a new colour.

Darker than normal but I think they look quite good. How's about letting us see them against the colour of your car as a comparison ?
