New Alloys - gloss black on Mag blue car

[Alex 111s]

Finally got my Team Dynamics Pre Race Alloys this week. (apparently Kumho 195/50's are like rocking horse sh*t at the moment according to the shop.)

Gloss black on Mag Blue. was worried that I'd made the wrong choice after i'd ordered but seeing themon the car, I think work.




Now alli need to do is break the tyres in and see if going up to 195's was worth it.

Looking good Alex

They look great really set the car off

Cheers for the comments. only thing that's bugging me with them is I need to re-spray the front splitter to Black as it's currently Graphite grey and doesn't look as good as it could.

Wheels look goon on the car.

The rear diffuser in black would be my next step.

Good call. Thinking of getting that done while it's tucked away over the winter. (plus maybe exige side intakes and black mesh grilles instead of the plastic slats.)

I recently went with the gloss black OZ Racing wheels (very similar to your Team Dynamics wheels), the black rear diffuser and black fuel filler surround. Might also be a nice finishing touch to change your silver 111s stickers for black ones - speak to Bob Van M on here. Personally I prefer the Elise slats to the Exige mesh as they are probably easier to look after i.e. keep black but I reckon the Exige side pods might well compliment your soon-to-be black splitter really well.

Car is looking really nice.

Cheers,

Cheers John. I'd have loved a set of OZ's (bit more authentic on an Elise) but just couldn't justify the price difference against the TD alloys.
you've got me thinking about black stickers. (It never occured to me before.)

P.S. Saw some photos of your car in the gallery from one of the meets. Loving your work. especially the seats. Forgive my ignorance. Is the Lotus Sport 111 your own special creation, wasn't aware of that one as a ltd. edition.

Looking good. Did a similar thing to mine, just went for the Matt Black wheels instead, if you can would definitely change the filler surround and powder coat the rear diffuser brings everything together and looks.

Hi Alex,
The Lotus Sport 111 was only available in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. It was basically an S2 111s with the wheels, seats and suspension from an S2 135R. Best of both worlds in that you got the 156bhp engine with the improved handling. Only thing I'm missing really is the adjustable dampers and the motorsport anti-roll bar which I'll probably do next year.

Cheers,

John

Cheers John,

you learn something new every day.

[Coopers]

Sorry for dragging up an old thread but what splitter are those on both the elises?

[Alex 111s]

Hi Coopers,

you can get one from Elise parts http://www.eliseparts.com/products.php?product=71

there were others selling them on Ebay as well.

Cheers
