Rear Lotus Badges

[Steve J]

Looking to replace the silver L O T U S stickers on the back of the car with plastic/metal ones (a la USA).

 

Do I rememer correctly if Emma has done this one hers. If so where can I get hold of them.

 

Cheers

Yes indeed Em has (see pic below)... they are off the classic Lotus, so my first port of call would be Paul Matty (they will mail order)

 

I have a set, but i do need them for my car (Elan)

[Steve J]

Cool,

 

Any idea as to how much?

[Scott_Mac]

IIRC when i bought mine they were around £3 per letter.... probably a little more now.

[GCCK]

or £15 for cash...

[Scott_Mac]

Yup, thats it.

[Steve J]

Do they come in any other letters?

 

Could have some fun there

[Scott_Mac]

You could write SLUT on the back... but i am guessing you wouldn't want to drive around with a car saying that... and Fiona especially not!

 

Would H A I R D R E S S E R fit - if we got small letters?

[dobbo]

It would fit an S2 !

I've had a set in my cellar(got half an Elise down there)I got them from the Donington Lotus show ages ago,I'd be interested to know how Emma has attached them as mine have lugs on the back...So I could cut the lugs off and stick them on(Cue every little chav git in the area steeling them)or drill the rear clam and fix them with nuts(don't like the idea of drilling the clam).....

Probably explains why they're still in the cellar

I'll ask her...

 

Or i could just point her in this direction....

[Steve J]

Does she frequent this form any more? There has been a distinct absence since the photo captions

[Jonathan E]

Thanks Scott that would be very helpful.

Hello all.

 

Yes, I'm still alive - been in hospital though with Asthma... with no internet and little contact with real world Improved now - health + web.

 

Anyways, I got the letters from some classic car show at Donny (might have been a ford fayre?). Think they were about £1 a letter about 2.5 years ago.

 

Remove sticky pads that they come with (foam), replacing with the clear double sided rubbery sticky pads you can buy. Only put sticky on sides/middle of letters, not top and bottom, to allow for curve of clam.

 

Hey presto! Looks the mutz nutz
