A&Q about Lotus
Q:
General question here. I've found my favorite color and interior elise, but it's got CF console, CF side scoups, and black exige wheels with good tread, and level 2 exhaust. None of which am i intersted in... i want stock. If i buy this vehicle (i'm in the SF bay area)... is anybody insterested in doing a swap + cash? i'm also interested in getting 15/16's so i might not need your wheels... base model rims are fine if i take them.
That's also assuming i guess that the side scoups and console are a directs swap out where holes didn't have to be drilled... etcetera... reading piano's comment below... i just want what's stock in place of the CF side scoups. the plastic bits that sit inside.
Thanks in advance.
A:
FYI, there are no stock Elise side scoops.
A:
I'd be up for the CF console!
A:
Will Exige wheels fit a stock Elise without sport or track package?

Yes.
A:
The exige wheels... - are they the funky heavy ones? or the black LSS wheels? - if LSS wheels I am interested. I have stock base wheels in perfect condition as well if interested in a trade!
Regarding the side scoops - if he has installed the Reverie ones you can sell them for good money - but in the install process you cut up the existing plastic vents to make the CF ones fit. So you would have to re-order the orignal plastic ones from your dealer.

I have the Reverie side scoops fitted and didn't need to make any alterations to the existing vents in order to fit the Reverie's. Either way, unless the seller still has the original vents, he will have to purchase new ones anyway.
A:
they have a little v-shaped spit spoke style... not what comes on an 06 sport pack elise. The side scoups have 3 screws in them... look to be the same as on sector111. I'm guessing whom ever would want them can swap me their originals if this cars are cut up.
A:
I'll trade you base wheels for black lss wheels..
A:
I'll trade consoles!
A:
I have the original Elise side grilles (un-cut). Also will swap CF for original console. Also will sell my (painted) base-model wheels.
Long way from SF, though.
A:
I live in Sac. I am interested in hwtever you have available; wheels, FC etc.
A:
I'd buy the side scoops off you and trade my stock side vents. PM me if you get the car and are interested.

A:
I'll take the console and will be in Bay Area this week with the ability to swap it right out for mine. Let me know.

I have a pm for you. I will purchase the wheels out right since you are interested in a 15/16 stagger.

spoke with the assitant of the folks selling the car, and he thought the exige wheels did come with it as part of the sport pack... i wanna say i read here that some of the earlier sport pack elises came with these wheels... here's a picture of it.
