Cheers.

Does look like it's coming along.

Is that glue on the bulkhead, on the front side of the chassis/in front of the fuel tank?

Is that Lotus' doing? Mine is just clean aluminium there.

Have you got any plans for the chassis sills - only just remembered the S2 has different sills (2-11 doesn't have the cut out). Put the same plastic covers back on? Carpet it? Filler and wrap?

Will be a laugh, but I dread to think how much crap you'll end up getting whacked in the face with when pushing on! Always looks pretty dusty where you are as well.

That glue from some sound proofin I tried when an Exige, it didn't work.

I will ether cover the sills with some aluminium or fill it with foam and do a carbon fiber layer over it to bring it up to the proper height.
The car will have carpeting and alcantera panel covering to make things feel cozy.

I wasn't likin the rear so I decided to widen the rear tire venting to allow for the high pressure build up to exit a little better. This makes the rear end even more aggressive I think..

agree, fits better with the wide tires, more as made for each-other.

I think you missed a bit when sanding!

Wider, squarer rear reminds me of a 360 or something. Looks better.

The sides looks good. Is it going to have anything behind the front arches, or be left like that? Bet it'll get peppered with stone chips like that.
