Hi all, my s2 has L O T U S stickered letters across the back, just wondered if anyones replaced these with the metal L O T U S letters, if so where did you get them and did they just stick over the top, or is there more to it.

At CITP at the w/end and noticed the metal letters on the elises look much better.

About £15 from any dealer

Thanks Boggy, do you happen to know if they simply stick over the top or do I need to surgically remove my current stickers first??

I just stuck my ones over the top - they are pretty much the same size as the sticky label L O T U S ones so you don't really see them underneath. You could always make up some sort of template using the old ones as a basis then take them off and fit the new ones but this would just be a hassle but it really depends on whether or not you can be bothered…. Oh yes, hate to disappoint you but the new ones are not metal – they are just plastic mouldings with a self adhesive backing.

Cheers,

John

Look on the Bell and Colvill site, you can get them from their shop for about a tenner.

Had mine replaced, looks much better.

I wanted an Elise with the L O T U S lettering on the rump but when I found my car (which just has the enamel roundel on) I realised I prefer the more simple clean look it has.

Plus it gives me plenty of room to put on my discreet Nurburgring decal without looking too "busy" biggrin:

Please, please, please, dont do what one of my customers did the other day.

Having bought the 07 raised letters from us, he phoned up having got home to complain we had supplied him the wrong decal,as the one he had was to short!!!









To those who havnt seen them Lotus supply the letters on a short strip of backing, about 6 inches long.
