malbon Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 bodykitted cars are a matter of taste and im not feeling this one im afraid. Like the alloys and side profile but i'm not a big fan of cars that look like someone has tampered with the bodywork post-factory. Still swap it for my elise tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfpenny Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Nice backend very Ferrari 360'ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_Mac Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 NOt a fan particularly either... as Malbon says they are for certain tastes. The rear does look like an F430 with the exhausts and scooped bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiona Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Not my cup of tea. The shape was a classic - no need to tamper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorton_1 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I've got to say that I don't like the extras on it either. Mind you, you have to be a bit careful - the S1 Exige is my favourite variant of all but what would I have said if an individual had of done it? Probably some rant about it being a blight to the name of Lotus. However, as the factory did it........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on my Mk1 Golf I never stuck anything on that didnt have a function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 as you say its a matter of taste but if you wanna stand out from the crowd you do something, and im NOT a typical lotus owner it must be said, i am a modder and always will be SORRY but i did like the reply about the exige,,,if a individual had done it, would you approve?? just to ease you dispproval LOL,,,the lotus factory actually like it, and said they were going to do a similar back end on the 2002 upgrade but regulations stopped them basically,,,,so saying that, would you like the back if it was from hethel ha ha ha matter of taste like i said, just come back from a mag shoot and the writer said that he never seen a car get so much attention just driving around, there has to be ppl like me, or dont you think the roads would be boring?
