Just a bit so far, dogs wanger handbrake is off and gear knob is a momo thing. Still got dodgy pink/red window winders and pink/red screws and washers for the dog panels can see a bit in the picture. Also the steering wheel is a bit much but is it worth changing? Its getting there haha

As I said colour should be way down on the priorities, I would be looking for the best value for money will all the things I meantioned that will save you money in the long run. Good tyres, good tread, good brake pad with life on them, good discs with life, changed suspension from standard konis etc etc

Good luck with the search!

Ive seen a members car on here im very interested in, and its had what you mentioned above done, wasnt my first choice of colour buts its really grown on me the more i look at the pics
Im hoping we can agree on a deal soon and i will have an Elise sooner rather than later

You will love the car whatever colour you get. That winey/burgendy colour would have been my last choice but I have grown to love it. Worst comes to worst get it resprayed when the stonechips eventually get so bad at the front or after you become addicted track days

Pretty colours don't save money

Hahaha

I am not so sure. I think its because there is red leather everywhere and everything is colour matched red. I think its all just a bit much in it probably. I like the seats they are perfect. Mabye black steering wheel or something a bit less RED would calm it all down a bit that was my thoughts. Its a momo removable steering wheel so I am not complaining, comes in handy when parking the car and getting access if your working around that area!

Strongly tempted to offer you a swap for my black wheel, but my seat bolsters are blue and it'd clash horribly /jj

ps sorry about the stone chips and cracked driving lights that were probably down to me. Also the smashed rear window that he replaced.
It is a cracking little car, well looked after and serviced, and with the B&C conversion and hardtop, an excellent buy at that price.

Well done. Glad you got a nise S1. Are you gonna track it soon?
I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
