Custom made cat back stainless exhaust.
Twin 3" tailpipes and 2.25" internals. 
 
This is a video made by the original owner who had it made to let you hear what it's like:
(see post 3, video didn't work first time around!!)
 
We bought it back in 2010, but never fitted it to Erica's car as we were decided to keep it completely standard, it's been sitting in the shed ever since!
 
Looking for £175 ono plus delivery
 
--------------------------------------------------
 
Number 7 in this photo, goes along the top of the windscreen and down the pillars, has little cup shaped buts to collect water from the front edges of the roof.
 
I think this was only fitted to later S2s.
 
This is a genuine Lotus part, number is: A116V0273F
 
This is an Elise S2 part, but has been successfully used on the Vx220 to stop leaky roofs (also not the 116 in the part number!!)
DeRoure says it'll fit:
Elise (Series 2: 2001>)
Elise (Series 2: 2001>)
Elise (Series 2: 2004>)
Elise (Series 2: 2011>)
Exige (Series 2)
Exige (V6)
 
Bell & Colvill charge £105
DeRoure says factory order at £87.39 (probably plus vat making 104.86...)
 
I'd like £50 plus delivery

Fitting guide:

 

Peel off old seal

Spend 3 hours with Autoglym intensive bug and tar removing getting off the residue.  I found a wooden door wedge handy to scrape without damaging paint.

Line up new seal to test fit and work out where it goes (start from the corners)

Remove tape from seal and stick down.

 

If it's not 100% clean its a complete waste of time.

Wow, what a response!  Looks like we had the right plans for our VX anyway!

 

Both items pending.  Obviously, I'm using the post / message times to contact those who got in touch first.  If they refuse I'll do the same to get the 2nd in line.

 

Some people on here really need to get some sleep though - I have a 4 week old, what's your excuses ;)

Do the standard NA seals need to be cut and deroure seals joined? Thanks for reply.

No, there is a natural join in the seals near the light switches in the sill

I thought about it a good few times but couldn't go for it blind (or is that deaf? :lol: ) That is the only clip Richie had of it. Sticking to holding out for a Piper thumbsup

Both exhaust and seal are sold pending payment.

 

Shame Claws, would have been easier getting it to you from Dundee than posting it.  Still, it was on SE for a week with no interest ;)

Yeah, Donkey had brought it to my attention but I wasn't sure on the resale if I didn't like it. (Clearly misjudged that one considering how quickly it was snapped up on here! :P ) Yup, I could have just collected it or used some form of SE/.org pony express. Good that it is sold though thumbsup

I did indeed, to ensure that the first people were contacted re: the items - some VX owners obviously just don't sleep!!
