My apologies, I know I've read these answers somewhere, but I'm unable to find them. I think both are OLD threads, back in the EliseTalk days, not sure.

1. Did Lotus allow names to be put on some of the build-plates for the Elise, or am I remembering that wrong? Also, wasn't there a member here that was making them for people, after Lotus stopped doing it?

2. Isn't there a funny quote in the Elise owners manual about the ride harshness, and if you can't handle it to find your nearest Porsche dealer, or did I dream that as well?

Thanks for any info, and I'll leave the light on for ya' .

Have I told you lately that I love you? If not, I do!

He made another run of the plaques a couple years ago but doesn't do them anymore. I seem to remember something of a comment like that but can't quite remember exact content and where.

 

[<@¿@>]

Yeah...I tried to get one about a year ago and did not even get a reply...

 

[RENDERMAN]

I will be making those soon...

Crap, I sent him a PM and haven't gotten a reply either.

RENDERMAN: our savior!

RENDERMAN-Let me know, I want one too!

I'm trying to make them engraved on an aluminum plate instead of printed, I'll keep you guys posted.

 

[VisualEchos]

That would be awesome.

Does anyone have a photo of a real one off hand?

OK...here is the deal about these plates... I've got 1 of 12 Exige Cup 260 cars built (globally!) for "track use only" and it does not have that plaque...because my car was built on the regular production line. Only if a car was built on the regular production line and then transferred to the Motor Sport side for modifications, then it got this plaque as a reclassification to Motor Sport.

I would like one BTW...

gosh - yes please!

Give Wayne a break!

Guys, Wayne was offering the plaques he made for free for over 6 years. I have no idea how many he produced, but he put good thoughts and good craftmanship together to crank them out on his leisure time. I still get many compliments for the item which I affixed over 8 years ago to the tub surface on the passenger side.

Thanks for the info!

This plate can't be hard to produce, we just need a good scan or photo-copy of one, I can have my art department make vector art for it in just a few hours. I know I want one that is as 100% authentic as possible, down to the exact font, and colors.

RENDERMAN: I'm not interested in producing them, I was just saying, this is your deal!

So this Cup260 plate, visible in the foot-well, what does it look like exactly?

That is only for right-hand-drive cars... on left-hand-drive cars, it is on the other side...

Your car probably has this plate, maybe you could take a nice clean pic for us

I recently read something in the manual about some maintenance item. It said failure to follow some exact procedure could be psychologically damaging. I had done that procedure and had ended up using every swear word in my vocabulary. So I know what they were talking about.
