Many thanks rich, its been tough and at times felt like it would never be done so even though I've got to take the clam back off to fix a few things down it felt great getting it looking like a finished car for a while

 

I'll be leaving it exactly as you see it, I like the exposed look personally. When I have a few spare pennies I'll be buying an extended Motorsport diffuser too.

Haven't you got the indicators and brake lights the wrong way around Dan?

 

Must say with my last S1 I very nearly did this too, always thought it looked better somehow

[danwebster]

Well spotted, yes - makes the car look really wide at night

[Martin R]

Dan, what extra is being added engine wise before the mapping?

[danwebster]

Just the (very trick) ecu.

My box of left overs

 

[R.I.B.]

1 or 2 kilos weight saving there? lol

I notice you sprayed over the lotus sticker on the back left. If you peel them off now it'll probably leave a nice effect

[danwebster]

The elise 111s sticker on the right too....the trouble is if I start to peel it'll take the whole rear end off

 

I like the stealth look anyway, i'm not a stickers / stripes man - prefer to let the performance do the talking

[John FISH Curtis]

Nice.

 

Just a couple of things.

 

(1) Are you sticking with those wheels, me thinks black Rota's would look good?

(2) The fron toe eye will drop and tap against the clam!!

[danwebster]

I'm thinking about painting the wheels black, but other than that i'm sticking with them for now...i've spent enough now!

 

The towing eye has a grub screw in it that keeps in in place, it can't drop and hit the clam

My box of left overs

 

 

That's funny I have the same but in a bag, it does feel good knowing all the nuts and bolts are new :-). I have a toilet at work packed high the rafters with stuff I have removed.
