Mods are still commin'

- Clear lenses
- OEM Lotus Elan S2 wheels
- Toyo R1R semi slick tires

My first idea about the wheels/tires are :
- the idea i'm sitting higher
- a 'different' feeling ...
- but ... superglu :)

And the best for last ... Lotus Elan - sleepy eyes

Are these the exact same size as OEM?
My tyres whilst having loads of tread and looking brand new are clearly old and hard and they're scrubbing away fast and the car understeers like hell in the wet!

Looking for something super sticky and to hell with how long they last!

Yes, 205/45/16

The tires are superglu ... are between the R888 (racingtire) and the T1R (streettire).

Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212's. I am using these and they are very good - on road and track - Monty is also using them

about two thirds the price of R888's at about £75 a corner

Sublime - I only hope mine will look that good.
Congratulations
