Sill plates..............anyone interested?

Postby Elanlover » Fri 01.06.2007, 15:42

Last year I purchased some Lotus inscribed sill plates for the door sills. They can be found in this thread:

http://www.lotuselancentral.com/forum/v ... php?t=7477

I've been in contact with the seller again about making some slightly larger that would fill out the entire length of the door sill (except where it curves upwards of course). They'd be 32 inches long by 2 inches wide. He's asking about $80 USD per set.

Just curious if anyone is interested and, if so, I'll approach him with the idea of a bulk buy to see if there's any price reductions available.

Martin, I've no idea what was at Stonleigh as I wasn't there but I suspect they're not the same. Have a look at the thread I posted a link to above to see what they look like.

P.S. Why is this thread in the ignition section BTW?

Just waiting to hear back from the guy regarding potential cost reductions for volume purchases and on a possible second design type he has with Lotus Racing on it with some red accents. Will post pics when/if he sends them to me.
