Lotus Elise S1 Side Skirts

[mambosasa]

I have been busy again. It's something that I have been meaning to do for some time now, so glad that I have done it in the end. It's not to everyone's taste and to be honest, if I get tired of it, I will just remove it.

 

Take a look and let me know feedback. I will consider doing a run if I receive enough interest.

 

Blog entry below - with a bunch of photos.

Oh, I wrote the blog under the influence so don't judge me I will correct it at some point.

 

Ta.

I personally think they look great. Only thing that I have concerns on is how they are attached.

Are the rubber things strong enough?

Will you be doing the splitter as well?

If by any chance they do offer some downforce then the fixtures may get stressed?

The mounts are really strong and pretty large. I have taken the car out at reasonable speeds and no issues. The surface is not large enough to be honest.

 

I can easily make the spliter too.

[AlanS1]

I am interested if you can do a splitter to match as well.

I did see some similar at a NYLOC trackday at Blyton earlier in the year and they looked well.

[mambosasa]

Coolio. We could sort something out.

I would be interested in a set depending on cost if you fancy making more

[mambosasa]

Cool. I am looking to make them as cheap as possible. I don't get why everything has to cost the earth these days.

 

Let me do some maths and speak to the Directors on how to stick them on the shop.

 

 

More to follow.

They look great! I've been wondering about a front splitter to fit Exige S MY2010. Is it something that could be a possibility? I'd be very interested if so.

Look great mate, what are your thoughts on the splitter design? We can have a chat over drinks on the 29th

[mambosasa]

Sounds good.  Some sketches already done

[Luis976]

Hi, I'm quite interested to purchase one set of your creation.

Sorry if I've uploaded my car picture was a mistake.

But I'm sure they will fit very well!

How can I get your parts and how long does it takes

Thanks in advance

Luigi, nice car       Welcome to MLOC.

[Luis976]

Thanks Martin, I've found out a new world here, many things to learn about how improve my Elise.

At the mean time I may improve my English.

That is an old pic....

Right now it is more track focused. I set the reverie front splitter, and I guess that the two side skirts would fit perfectly

[mambosasa]

Indeed - welcome to the MLOC family.

 

Let's see what we can do Luis

Did these ever make production? I'd be interested in a pair.
