LIR Racing CF Side Scoops Installed (PICS) - LotusTalk

Transonic · 04-20-2009, 07:04 PM

Put these on yesterday. Well worth the month wait and €75 shipping charge IMO.

def · 04-20-2009, 07:07 PM

Interesting idea, does it actually work and cool the engine down? Must create a good amount of drag

madden · 04-20-2009, 07:11 PM

wow those stick out far, look like really nice quality. How is the fit and install?

LordZ · 04-20-2009, 08:18 PM

hmmm, i do need more air flow in the sides. those almost look a bit too big though. I would have to see them in person I think or at a distance.

plastique999 · 04-20-2009, 09:00 PM

they are quite interesting- I too would be interesting in seeing flow/drag results.

BealeAss · 04-21-2009, 09:54 AM

Hmm those are nice!

Nice Side Scoop

chapster5 · 04-21-2009, 11:52 AM

They look ok,

Would probably look better on an Exige though

They're the same as the ones from this thread:
gt3 dreaming

Their website in in French and you gotta order each side seperately.
LIR Racing - Premier site spécialisé français pour toutes vos pièces LOTUS
^ Those are for the Elise.

Gauche = Left
Driot = Right

€220 each side. Also their shipping cost to the US isn't on their site so they called me and recalculated the total. The guy Benjamin spoke enough English and was quick to complete the transaction.

Installation wasn't too hard considering there were no instructions at all. Only 2 xerox photos of how the brackets looked while installed. I figured it out and ended up with a few extra bolts.

I had to remove that weather stripping for them to fit properly. They don't quite line up perfectly but it doesn't bother me and isn't noticeable unless you look very closely. Oh and the best part, they're completely reversible. 2 of the 3 brackets use existing holes on the car and the bottom one is clamped onto a piece of fiberglass and isn't going anywhere unless you really pull on it or break it off.
