[MM - Drop-off] -
May 6, 2009
I dropped off my Lotus at
Muholland Motorsports/Dent Werks to get my front clam replaced. This will be my second front clam replacement...
I got hit while parked on the street (read post above re. incident), and it caused a minor crack in the front clam behind the clear-bra.
I know Julio and Stephan at Mulholland Motorsports will take care the car well for me, and I am looking forward to picking up the car in a couple of weeks!
