What do you mean by taped rims? Is its just a layer of coloured tape? They look really good.

Love the car mate, i have been lucky enough to drive the n/a and the turbo before and they are fab. Not sure about the tape but it looks like you have a really nice expample there with tasteful mods. Very envious. If i was not hooked on the idea of a motorbike i would be looking for one of those.

Yes, its just tape, supplied in 4 curved quarters for each wheel. (E-Bay) Takes a bit of time a a steady hand!

So after 8 months of ownership I've done quiet a lot of cosmetic stuff plus new discs, Pagid track day pads, GAZ adjustable coilovers. It's complete now, can't think of anything else it needs (waits for the supercharger boys to pipe up!) The car is incredible, drives superbly and is VERY loud (Larini!) in tunnels. smile

Looking really great, suits the colour too. My mate (Ebo100) let me drive his on the VX220 owners club track day last year and I was converted...like driving a slightly bigger go kart it was so sharp and handled superbly.

Ive always dismissed these cars, due to my preference over them for an Elise looks wise, but that really really looks good. Definitely prefer it with the black wheels and grille!

I had a pax in a N/A one at millbrook once years ago at a autosport magazine event, really outstanding ride.

Hmm, may have put them back on my wish list.
