Sorry, ruins the lines of the Elise. Either don't bother and stick with the Elise, or change your mind and get the Exige. Don't go trying to make the Elise into an Exige wannabe...before you have even got it. Please make your mind up (finally), this is getting painful! Sorry...........preaching over!

Sorry if that last post caused you pain,.headache
I was just thinking out loud really, wondering what it looks like. I have never bought a spoiler for a car ever and dont intend doing so at the age of 35. If i had wanted an Exige i would have bought one.For once i have made a definite decision on a car and i couldnt be more pleased. wink

I think an Elise with a boot spoiler would look as wrong as an Exige with the roof off. Some things just dont look right. IMO.

depends if you want a elise or a car that wishes it was somthing else.

you'll only impress wits who dont know anything.

i wouldnt give a shit what they thought anyways.

a few of these special breed types have questioned if my s1 elise with hard top is an exige.

i just tell them its a nissan micra kit car, and they believe me.

This is a design by a Japanese company I believe, for the S2 Elise . It is very simular to the Exige wing but is mounted in a different way. http://www.sector111.com/products/exterior/body_pa... look for the Gut Sport Wing .

Please don't do it!

It's fine if your going to be using it for racing and you need more down force for the corner's but really it's a sh*t idea for the road, it's not needed and make's people think you wanted an Exige.

My upgrade's would be as follows

1. Performance Exhaust
2. Induction Kit
3. Upgrade brake pad's & hoses (Wait until yours need replacing)
4. Suspension (again wait until you've used it for a couple of year's)
5. you can always change the interior to your choice
