I assume that they were aquired by the previous owner to replace the silver "LOTUS" & "ELAN SE" badges which would be on the boot lid.....

(I cant see any such badges on your car in the pics on your other thread).

...they certainly aren't standard for the elan, but maybe either the best he could find, or just simply something he liked.

Either way, it's going to be your choice if you stick them on or not - as I frequently say, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about whether they like it or not - it's your car - do what YOU want :D

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

I believe that the authentic M100 badges are available from SJ's!

the bin?.....

they're not m100 badges and TBH I've never seen anything like them on another Lotus either.....
I'm guessing they're just an off the shelf font of which you can buy any letters...... :?

They look like the font that was used on the F1 team before it became Caterham.
I agree that they don't really have any place on an Elan though - wrong vintage! :-D
