Hi all,

Okay a big big help is massively needed here everyone.

Okay really I'm after some lotus touch up paint, I'm told that the paint I'm after ( paint code B91) was stopped being made by lotus waaaaaaay back in 2008!!!!! Has anyone any idea what is the next best way to get it some touch up paint that is as close to what lotus do? Thanks.

Okay the second part is a little more tricky.

I have a 2002 reg Elise S2, and I'm really needing to locate a part. there is a hardened plastic fixing which is attached to the inside of the rear fishtail part of the canvas roof. This plastic fixing then slides into a slot on the rear the car, which is then pushed into place by a metal pin via a lever behind the rear window. This all as you guys will now secure that rear fishtail part of the canvas roofing to the car.

this plastic pin/fixing has totally snapped away from its base which is attached into the inside of the canvas roof. I really need to find out what this part is called and so then locate a new one which I'm hoping can be attached in place of the current one.

Ladies amd gents, may I ask you for any help where I could locate this part and also where to get any touch up paint?? Ohhhhh and just one more thing..interior mats..it's a RHD and there is a passenger footrest too..any ideas where to find OEM ones pref???

Really from the bottom of my heart..big big thanks

Regards

Karim

Where are you based - sometimes the older Lotus dealers have it their stores
Have you tried paul matty?
However google finds a few equivalents if you seach for Lotus B91
