Newbie question 1 2 3 4 13

As the title suggests , a newbie query. I have just bought an S2 Elise , 2007 with the Toyota 1ZZ power unit in ‘ touring spec’. That means electric windows, a radio and , err, not sure what else. Anyway, that is not the subject of the query. The car is blue with a cream interior. The latter I don’t plan to keep. In fact , already bought some equivalent second hand door cards in black and am looking hard at a pair of Corbeau LE seats . So, first part of my query centres on those Corbeau seats. Anyone on here have them or at least used them and have a view on them and the second is a vague idea of what, if anything, a pair of cream seats with matching door cards is actuall…

Hey all, it’s taken a while (after asking questions here http:// https://www.midlandslotus.co.uk/forum/topic/70475-dropping-in-to-say-hello-%F0%9F%91%8B/) but I finally took the plunge and I’ve had this for a couple of weeks now. Got LOADS of questions about bits and pieces that need doing, but for now I thought I’d share the new member to the forum! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Early Elise S2, looks like someone tried to tow it and the front post gave out due to corrosion and it took some car chunks with it! Based in Derby

I had Alex come over on Saturday from Wainwright specialist Detailing who is a great supporter of Mloc and LitP to detail my Emira well he worked his magic and the car looks Majestic. another great thing the polish he used is amazing, after a run out in the Peaks yesterday morning the car got covered in the muck of the thick brown nasty stuff 😜 so when I got home I thought I had better rinse the worse off ready to wash it properly on Monday as I had to go out to my amazement it all easily hosed off so in 20 mins the car looked great again 😀 I would recommend Alex to anyone who would like to treat their car to a makeover it's worth every penny you can reach Alex …

Left home at 9.30am this morning, just arrived home. Trip to a classic car dealer near Kettering, then thought I'd pop into Lotus Silverstone before heading home using part of Fosse way. Around 150 miles or so with the roof of. I'm biased of course, but if you've never driven an S1 Elise, I implore, with every fibre of my body that you need to drive one of these remarkable cars for at least a day. At various times today I uttered "suits you sir" to myself. What a feeling they give you. I bow to it.

We have a 2002 S2. would like to get the paintwork perfect, currently I would say conservatively its an 8 out of 10. Is it better to go with the current trend and wrap it or just respray. Any recommendations on a good bodyshop that spray well or even a company thad do decent wrapping. Cheers
