Don't get it - I own both a lotus and a VX as do many others. In my opinion that's just ruined a piece of motoring history. Want a lotus buy one !! Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

In life people like you want to be like sheep and follow each other. For me I like people who are different and want to add there own stamp on the pride and joy. Best way to describe it is built not bought.

I'm no sheep and at the moment my car is in a million pieces all over my house, it will be rebuilt better than it was made. But I respect it for how it was designed it's shape and it's styling as intended - not a copy. Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

If you were designing your own bodywork to go on the car I would agree with this statement but your not. You're copying a Lotus. Surely that's the definition of being a sheep ?

Hence an entire bodywork listing on ebay. I did wonder why. Good luck and hope you have fun with your project

 

my advice would be to split the 'kit' and sell the front lights, rear lights, clams, doors and sills on their own thumbsup

 

you would also get more for them ;)

 

 

Sound advice - thanks Vocky :)

So what is the hennessey venom gt classed as, fastest car in the world but still looks like a lotus but has its own tweaks. Not a standard lotus by all means.

The clams themselves are seriously light yet strong and well constructed – so they aren’t some of the usual fibreglass cr*p out there.

 

 

What do you estimate the weight saving to be?

Wrong, 1. manus car is a Opel speedster 2. Turbo model 3. Gt3 Exige body work with wide arch kit and big wing 4. Full carbon fibre body 5. Track car 6. Quick release clams 7. Modified vx parts to fit My car 1. Vx220 2.Na that's been supercharged 3. 2010 oem Exige bodywork used 4. Oem carbon fibre Roof, engine cover ect which is the limited edition 260 cup Exige 5.All lotus parts used so panels bolt in as they should. 5. Front Vx220 louvers The list go on. So you couldn't be more wrong. Only thing the same with mine and Manus car is the wishbones and that's it. So I'm taking the first vx220 to be converted to a S2 Exige status.
