I have decided to repaint the bumpers black, are the rear lamp surrounds supposed to be black?

I'd keep 'em the same colour as the rest of the car. Nothing to be gained.
Sorry if it's not what you want to hear.

Awesome thread! Ive always fancied one of these but certainly wouldnt have the time / enthusiasm and equipment to do what your doing.

Cant wait till you get it on the road!

Help, i need a wiper arm, series 2!!!!!!!!!, nearly done and this is stopping me getting it MOTd

[pacman1]

Can't help, but have a bump!

Does the wiper arm come off something else? anybody know?

It may make tracing one easier.

Sorry if you already know this web site but have you tried http://www.esprit4sale.co.uk/.
There is not one individually listed but there are plenty of lotus parts dealers who may be able to help.

With regard to your black rear light surrounds see the following links for original road tests and photos for the S3 and S2

Crashrepairman...we are long overdue for an update and pics!!!

[crashrepairman]

I have to say due to a couple of other projects on the go, one being a cosworth v6 4x4 sierra i am using this sunday at snetterton and a suzuki off roader i have been sorting to use again this winter on off road courses the Lotus has been sitting on a ramp in work.
I drove it back from the MOT centre (Passed) and the brakes overheated and suffered severe brake fade, perhaps i will get some time over xmas?
