Hi chaps, here's some pics I've just taken showing the end product. One or two little mechanical and suspension things to change once products are available but it's pretty much done :)

Blue on Black, very very nice. Actually think these look nicer than the old Elise, and the new one looks a little strange.

I love it, the little touches that I planned to do if I got one included black turbo vents, black wing mirrors (like VXR), black petrol cap and black rear/front light bulb surrounds. Other than that, it's exactly how I would have it.. I love it!! :cool: Any chance of a ride? :D

All you need to do now is to pull up a deckchair, buy some beer and say 'I did that'. :D

The vents can look a little funny from some angles and I don't think I need the extra cooling yet. Easy enough to do though.

Black petrol cap I'm considering, but I think the NA lights look better than the turbo ones which are just a little too black.

Ride? Any time :)

Correct, I am pretty sure the turbo came in 2003.

Turbo

Cylinders 4
0-60 mph 4.7 s
Power Output 197 bhp
Valves 16
Torque 250 Nm 184 lb-ft
Top Speed 151 mph


N/A engine from Astra

The OP has an N/A. Great performance with a low insurance group (17).
