reverie carbon-fibre side pods

[gt03raf]

Hi,
i've seen these on the reverie web page,
has anyone fitted them to an s2 elise?

how easy was it and do they look as good as the exige pods?

please post photos if you have them,


thanks
A.

they look better than Exige ones IMO has they dont have the fittings showing, you can get cheaper alternatives i think though from www.eliseparts.com

they are the LED rears as fitted to later S2's as standard

I've just ordered some from Reverie, hopefully will be with me for the weekend and I'll contemplate fitting them, guy on the phone was very helpful and said they come with everything you need (except tools presumably). I'll let you know how I get on if you like although might fail to get off my arse and fit them immendiately. Also got some mesh grilles on order from Elise-parts to replace the horrible plastic ones, but apparently there is a 3-4 week wait for dispatch.........

Had simon fit some to my s1 exige, their pricey but it looks great!

you can get them either in carbon fibre of body colour fibre glass...

interested in seeing how you get on fitting them. not wanting to doubt my own ability but really don't want to cock it up!
i bought a 2002 yellow elise with silver wheels and it just looks a bit.....(not wanting to upset anyone but ...) pretty.

going to get the wheels refurbished into black and looking to break up the yellow a bit with carbon pods, front splitter, rear spoiler and diffuser.

[Loudman]

Yeah, I was liking the look of a splitter. A bit worried about ground clearance though, got a nasty cattle-grid near my parents house that I scrape as it is, reckon the life expectacy of a splitter might be short....

Not convinced about rear spoiler unless you're a trackday hound.

I've got them fitted to my Elise and think they look quite good.



posted this picture several times recently so apologies to those bored with it...just dont have any other pics online that show the pods too well.

I seem to remember reading somewhere (probably on SELOC) that people who've measured it, have reported a reduction in air flow into the engine bay as a result of fitting that kind of side pod because the mesh is too restrictive.

[Loudman]

Very nice Snozz, don't think you need to be apologising for posting pictures like that. Did you fit them yourself? If so some top tips could come in useful.
