A modern twist..... your honest opinions please...

[CalElan]

I have a red car and have been thinking about either this or some new wheels - I think the originals look very dated. I was thinking I may use some plastidip on one of the wheels to see what it looks like. If I like it,I can do the other 3 and if not I can peel it off and go back to the drawing board.

You wouldn't be the first!

I suspected I wouldn't be - great link thanks!

Look great to me.

ooh they do look good. Need to get me some Lotus centre caps as mine are plain silver.
Where would be the best place for those?

thanks..

If you need the whole centre cap (with the green/yellow badge), then they should still be availlable from Lotus - they are an Esprit part number - A082G6071F

But the logo on the originals has a tendency to fade after a fairly short time.

If your caps themselves are good, then it is simple to replace the faded centre logo - have a look at this thread

Yup, try this:

I tried to replace the logos only. Sent a PM to the centre logo supplier listed in the thread, but never had a reply. Ended up buying four new centre caps from SJ Sportscars.

When I wanted some he didn't reply to PM on here - I went onto his facebook page to make contact, and from then on it was very good service.
