When are we going to start making these here in the states :D

This should be a replacement kit. I know a fellow that does vacuum molding and makes bumpers and the rear louvers for the old Esprits. He would be the perfect person to contact and this would be the perfect way to make these rear light kits, hard ABS vacuum molded plastic

This might work, but only if there are enough takers. Were I to guess, there wouldn't be enough takers Stateside to justify the expenses of injection molding. CF might be a better solution. Either way, this would cost much more than practicable, just that CF might be less expensive as the one-off factor is often built into the equation of a CF outfit.

When i saw Game on's fed spec M100 at Donny, i must admit that i didn't like the shape. The proper spec needed the rear side to have that little break in it an shows the spoiler of better as the fed spec spoiler looks like it's on stilts :lol:

Well, different strokes for different folks. . .ah screw politcal correctness. You're wrong wrong wrong Monty! Fed M100s rule!!! I'm an alien! (to quote Clarkson when he was running around in the Ariel Atom) And remember. Never forget that if it weren't for us, you'd all be speaking Canadian, eh? :wink:
Ok, time for my meds. Perhaps I should double up. . .
I've only seen the M100 in red, pac blue, black, and white. Agree that various shades of pink is her color! :D

NOT injection molding, vacuum molding. Very easy to setup your mold and work with it, no where near the cost of injection molding. I worked in a shop that did vacuum molding years ago and it is very simple and easy to do. Injection molding for this type of kit would be WAY out of the question, that is why I said "vacuum molding" :D

We just need to make a nice mold and then away we go! :banana:

Tony !
Isn't it always like this ? I have been to London almost every year for the last ten years, and so far I have seen 2 Lotuses altogether :wink:
Seems to me most Lotusowners have their car parked :roll:
Where in Norway have you been?

I don't see the difference between Aqua Blue and Medina Green

Medina was only an S2 color?

When I first saw pics of Aqua blue I thought it was the same as well. Both colors are hard to get an accurate photos of. When u see them in the flesh the Aqua is blue and the Medina more green :D

I think Medenia was an S2 color only, there is bugger all SEs around here so I wouldn't really know :mrgreen:
