Hi Guys,
Its been a while. I very rarely get chance to go on the web anymore as i don't have access at home and at work it is restricted!!!!!
Anyway, i hope you are all well.
I must admit all in Elise world is not good at the moment:
1. The service is due so im looking for a decent specialist that wont charge the earth, JCT want £290 for a A Service, seems a tad steep to me so i will keep looking!!!!
2. I have been looking at new flats and some are partial builng-sites. It was raining at the girl'f didnt want to get wet so i drove, unfortunately it turned into an expenve decision as i grounded the car. Basially the lower part of the car next to the number plate at the front is has been rubbed away and cracked - please tell me that this can be repaired, and if i can any suggestions???
Cheers
Mark

As far as the damage is concerned, it really depends on how extensive it it. In my case a Lotus dealer said new clam.
Luckily a friend drives a Caterham and suggested a mate of him, who owned a garage specialising in Caterhams, he fixed it for £250.
As to servicing, specialists again are substantially cheaper. Fibreglass services did my A service for £120. Not sure where you are located, but I would think there is a specialist close enough to you, to justify the trip, if its saving £130
Moral of the story is make sure you see some specialists first.

Good to hear your're alive and well sir.
Q1: A service does sound steep. Get yourself on NORLOG or over on SELOC and get a recommendation. Otherwise contact Jude Performance Services (Dan posts on here) and drive to them (a bit north but probably less in petrol than the price quoted to you locally!)
Q2: Depends on how visible the damage is and how bad it is. Again, contact locals for a good fibreglass body shop for a quote.
Practically every S1 Elise I know of has had scraps or bumps on the front underside of the clam - Lotus should have fitted an Ali bashguard IMO instead of exposing the low front to damage. Stupid design.
