A little googling reveals that the car was built by Plans Motorsport, based at Dunsfold Park, Surrey - home of BBC's "Top Gear" - and now doing road and track-day preparation work - see

You can try that site for contact info. The above text was a paraphrase from a fellow affiliated with the site, one Grahram H.
While I couldn't find the wing on the site, I did find a page to drool over.

the splitter is from S1 Exige.
A:
"the splitter is from S1 Exige."
Hi
It's not from an S1 Exige, it is Plans' own design especially made for the S2. The wing is the same as fitted to the S1 Central Seat one-make race cars, with pylons made to suit the S2.
Both are available from

Notice that Lotus and many others now tend to use the splitter style with a raised central area. Exige shown below...not totally obvious here..Ferrari does the same thing for example.
A:
The raised center section initiates the "nozzle" section and the downwards nozzle taper continues a few feet aft along the bottom of the car. The "nozzle" increases the velocity of the air before entering the parallel-to-the-ground, center "duct" section and it is the iincreased velocity air flowing along the center flat section that sucks the car down to the road.
An simple air dam across the entire front of the car reduces the nozzle-duct-diffuser to work to it's potential.

Elise, look at the lower and central portion of front of the car.
