The previous owner wants his plate back, so I've just sent off the V5 and removal of plate form to DVLA. His retention cert should turn up in about 10 days or so...I could have just kept the age related plate that would be assigned...but then I found this online, for 280 quid.

Just a bit of fun (and inspired by Harry's Zonda from way back in the early Evo days !) smile

There is one thing I would get done & that's get the wheels refurbished back to the Diamond Cut finish.

I like them, they've been painted obsidian black to match the paintwork plus there's the sump/torque arm bushes/donut to consider first.

Nice beast!
I just picked up a 2008 one a friend was going to be trading in a couple months back. Not as sharp at the Elise is, but an absolutely lovely machine.
X pipe/ resonator delete is definitely worthwhile and at idle still isn't too obnoxious.
Will be blatting down to the nurburgring 24 hours in mine, then onwards to Switzerland and Italy afterwards. Fuel bill is going to be awful hehe
