Polished Alloy Gear Gate

Where can I get one?
Eliseparts are showing that they are sold out.
Hangar111 is only showing one for an S2. Will this fit onto the S1?

Cheers

Been a couple in Seloc classifieds recently.
Might also be worth trying Hanger111.

ebay probably?

I wouldn't mind one of these if only they were less "proud"... you'd have thought someone may have designed a version that sat more like a "cap" over the existing cowling... but hey I'm just an ideas man....

I'm going to throw my neck on the block with this one. They look awful. Most look cheap, overblinged and as mentioned above, they don't sit "right". If you want that part of the car to look really nice, get the centre tunnel trimmed in alcantara or leather, or get it sprayed the same colour as the car. Money better spent IMvHO.

Never thought of taking it out and spraying it....
Might be worth thinking about.

Incidentally I too the back grills off last night and resprayed them. I was going to order some new ones but at £100 a set I thought it might be best to try and touch up the ones already there. They were looking a bit tired with a bit of corrosion and what not, but after a good scrubbing with a wire brush and then wire wool the were ready for a nice under coat. Ten minutes later on went the Satin Black finish and they look the dogs boocks.

Only one problem. When refitting I pushed the little Grommet thing that they screw into through the hole and into the bodywork. Off to Halfords and B and Q for a scout around to see what I can get for a DIY job.

Also went for my first real drive on the bendy roads in the low summer sun last night... I knew the Elise was going to make me smile. I just never knew how much.
I'm hooked!

easy to do isn't it, and brings them up nice and fresh again. £100 is just plain daft.

It gets better, and better, and better. Wait until you do your first trackday, or a blat up into Wales or the Lakes... I dream of the Alps at the moment. Can't make the Stelvio trip this year, but next year it's on the list of must-do's.
