Unfortunately, Dave has had a change in employment and he has ceased selling for a while.

Go to his HOME page and you will see his note.

His pages are all cached in Google, so it is easy to skip his opening message.

yay, anybody got a number for him? if not an email?

Billy at Knox Motorsports should have the bumper from Steve Matthew's Elan.

See: Re: Tons of M100 parts, LOG30 Delivery! (picture heavy links

It is used, but appeared to be in good condition when I saw it.

If you get to the point where it has to be a NEW bumper, I can send an email to Dave and see if there is some way to get the bumper for you but that would be fairly hard to coordinate.

His warehouse is in Georgia but he is in Vancouver for the next year.

The used one might be a better/easier solution.

Ouch! I guess they make really big sex toys in Alberta. Good luck with the repair!

I was emailing Dave at Lotus M100 Parts and he is currently stationed in Calgary.

If you want the bumper, he said he could carry it to Canada after one of his monthly visits and ship it from there.

You might want to contact him at: sales(AT)lotusm100parts.com.

We would all be interested in how you are getting on with the insurance companies regarding the accident.

As we all know, the UK and FED front bumpers are different. The rears are almots identical with the exception of the cut outs for the rear side markers. SJ in the UK offers a fibreglass version of the UK bumpers (not cheap mind you) - the rear could be made to work but not the front of course. I've been wondering what it would take to have a mold of the Fed front bumper made so that we can have access to a supply when we need them.

Anyone with thoughts or ideas? The one Dave (of Lotus m100 parts) is unfinished and could be used to make a mold for example. I can investigate but its not top of the list right now.

sj's bumper if i read correctly is only 215 pounds. although it is the wrong bumper. still its pretty cheap.

It is the wrong bumper (for a Fed car) but does come at a pretty good price. They don't have a Fed version (I asked ). I believe the rear bumper is identical though with the exception of the cutouts on the Fed version for the rear side reflector/marker lights (which anyone could easily modify) and is even cheaper
