Do you have a side on shot? I'd be interested in seeing how it sits now that you've had it lowered.

I'm tempted to look into a sticky front plate for mine too as the towing eye goes in place of the offset number plate bracket I'd of liked to fit.

Got some decent photos of mine off the driveway

My new daily driver, and it's a keeper this time (unlike the Fiesta):

It's a Lotus Elise S3 in Arctic Silver, with Touring Pack, A/C & Black Pack (wheels and diffuser). Still running in right now, but what a car. Beautiful, quick (enough for any roads) and surprisingly cheap to run. Not to mention excellent residuals. Anyone thinking about the GT86/Z4/Cayman etc. as I was, try one of these too....

Like it!

Raymond Lin · 5 Mar 2013 at 19:28

That is some upgrade from a Fiesta.

Can't believe you bought brand new though.

On a low depreciation car like an Elise, why not?

peterattheboro · 5 Mar 2013 at 19:40

You've tracked it already?

Fair enough, i didn't know the Elise is low on depreciation...I am not an encyclopedia of what is low or high in depreciation.

Can I have a list so I won't make this mistake again?

[TW]Fox · 5 Mar 2013 at 20:05

You don't need a list, just read before replying. He mentions the residuals in his post.

I still like a list though.

From you, so I can quote you back on it, just in case someone else just say "low residual" and taking his word on it.

Yep that's why new. I wanted a relatively new car with airbags, facelift etc and second hand they still command a lot of money. Got around £4-5k off list on this so was a no brainer in the end.

Not tracked yet, but plan to start easy and do some basic days maybe later this year.

What kind of toys does it come with?

I know one don't buy one for the toys but things like electric windows, electric wing mirrors? traction control, ABS brakes?

Can you fit the roof in the boot?

It's a Lotus Elise, so it'll have radar cruise, nav, dual zone climate, etc

peterattheboro · 5 Mar 2013 at 20:22

Who cares what toys come with an Elise.

IT'S AN ELISE!!

Limited slip differential, close ratio gearbox and a high revving normally aspirated engine. At a guess....

oh and, nice buy

Raymond Lin · 5 Mar 2013 at 20:24

I've edited the post and made the sentence of that part clear...in larger font so you knows that i already know...

It's not like I asked if it has Blurtooth DVD satv nav iDrive style head unit...I wondered if it has electric windows and some safety features like ABS.

Geez.

[TW]Fox · 5 Mar 2013 at 20:27

Toys are nav etc, ABS isn't a 'toy' is it

Raymond Lin · 5 Mar 2013 at 20:31

I swear "pedantic" is your middle name Fox lol

I guess I should have said FEATURES eh?

Now can we can back talking about the car and less of this nip picking stuff?

Blackhawk47 · 5 Mar 2013 at 20:35

Doesn't look like it has a heated rear window, is that another toy missing?

Looks really nice alex24.
