Snapper Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 I have to say with all the touring I do I like the luggage set: http://store1.yimg.com/I/yhst-5444193488410_1865_1060798
Snapper Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Anyone know of anyone else doing luggage sets for the lotus
darren5591 Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I like the headlights! If you notice carefully you see the indicator is inside the cover The roof induction thingy looks hidious

If you notice carefully you see the indicator is inside the cover The roof induction thingy looks hidious <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What a mess someone's made of a great car - although I must admit, I quite like those headlights - a bit like a Porker?! And why orange wheels for godsake!?!
darren5591 Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 What the heck have they done with that spoiler!
Rich111s Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 Nice... I wonder if these babies also come in snake skin!
Steve J Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Anyone know of anyone else doing luggage sets for the lotus <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep. Here's a 3 set that most of us use.

Fiona Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Jamie, You can get some stuff in the UK from the main dealer. See the bottom of this page.
Snapper Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Thanks for that Steve... I suppose I asked for that I find that when touring, you pull up at a nice hotel in such a nice car, you get your stuff out of the car and walking looking like a dosser just isn't me. I have to say that I hate having things rolling around in the boot and I just like the idea that if you can't get it in the bag it isn't going (Stops she of the near side taking ten pairs of shoes ). Seeing that every bag has its own place and the luggage is designed to maximise boot space it should only take seconds to load the car up. I do think that the Lotus badges could be far more discreet.
JAMES Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 I think alot of the stuff mentioned in this post is fine actually! Specially the site that Fiona gave a link to. Yeah there's some disgusting things but people are so quick to call things 'Chav' or 'Too bling' It's like anything at all you buy for your car after it's rolled out the factory, seems to fit into one of these categorys!
steve Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Mmmm..... i actually like the orange S2 with the black wheels........ but the submarine elise? No thanks.
darren5591 Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 For those of you who can afford it, I'd strongly recommend the 'delux' option, for the discerning traveller: or for those rich people who got 10p ] as sainsbury bag for life
Scrappydog Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 RE: Lambo doors, I believe at least one of the original design concepts for the Elise had such doors but they couldn't design a mechanism that was light enough and cheap enough to achieve it. So maybe not so bad? Andy

So maybe not so bad? Andy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Possibly, but such doors seem a bit over the top for a car that is intended to be inspired by 'performance through lightweight'? Maybe a case of designers getting a bit carried away and straying from the brief?
