Not sure why I keep seeing double?

Not tried that but I have tried 3m body gard flat spray on stone chip protector. It is a spray on aerosol which is a rubberised finish, easy to put on. You will need one can for each front arch. The jury is still out on how well it works at present because I have not used the car much since applying it.

Product no. 08158.

It is probably the cheapest upgrade you will do!

Sorry I do not know how to post the link, but £11 at spray guns direct.

Just do a Google search on it.

Don't forget to book it in for the oil line recall if not already done. Mine is booked with bell and colvill in a couple of weeks , free of charge! Thank goodness for that.

Thumbs up for lotus thumbup

Thanks, yes I found that link and bought 2 cans. Thankfully it's already had the oil line upgrade a couple of weeks ago.

Bought a new helmet, blue iridium visor, balaclava, boots and gloves earlier today in readiness.

Will post up some pictures of mine when I resize them.

Taking it to Bedford this Saturday for its first trackday , hopefully the weather will be ok . Should be fun!
If the weather is crap may have to take the porker instead.

Come and say hello if you are nearby.

Thanks, I'm not around on Saturday or I'd have come and said hello.

Just jacked the car up and found that someone has already rubberised the wheel arches, so glad I bought a new jack and 2 cans of that stuff now. Still I sprayed a few extra coats for added protection.

Someone has also added a wheel arch liner to the nearside rear arch, must have bastardised an Elise/Exige liner.

No worries, looks like the weather may not be good anyway.

The rear arches have liners fitted as standard so if you only have one side fitted the other must have been removed or fallen off!

They are not great , my passenger side one drops lower then the wheel arch so you can see it but since my car is black it does not show too much. At least they give protection for the rear so better then nothing. Might have to get some fittings to hold it up higher.
