Sort your reading device out then. :P Pics are working fine via desktop PC and mobile from here and judging by the other comments on the thread, they're working for others, as well.

Working fine in IE9 from here. Maybe a setting at your end that's blocking the tinypic.com website that the photo's are hosted on?

Some nice developments there... Don't want to sound rude as I genuinely don't know but is the quality of finish equal to OEM? Would it be fit and spray without mucking about removing flash lines, etc Reason I ask is from my years mucking about with kit cars and seeing S1 motorsport clams -often what looked great in photos often looked crap in the flesh. (btw, I can't do fibreglass for toffee, just wouldn't bother now as the finish is more like porridge than glass)

Yes the pictured Exige clam has got a flash line on it but these are DA'd out normally. A lot of time and money has been spent prepping the clams so that the amount of work needed in the paint shop is limited to a rub down and spray. A lot of what we have done is pretty OTT really but we aim for the clams to be as good as OEM and possibly even requiring less prep than OEM. The guys at Eliseparts wouldnt sell them if they were anything less than excellent.

What is the pricing on the exige clams Jon?


Not sure at the moment mate they have the stock but they arent on the website yet. They were a special commission from Eliseparts so only available from them.

Will the roof trims fit the oem roof? If so I need the passenger side one if possible?

Good work by the way!


Yes they are identical to OEM
