I think it's likely they can get an extension if needed. And that the next Elise will be bigger and heavier and taller in the front.

bigger and heavier per this quote

"As previously stated, Lotus plans to introduce the second generation Elise in late 2006. This vehicle will feature compliant headlamps, bumpers and advanced air bags."

By the way, I haven't driven the car in the dark yet, but from lighting up my garage, it appears that the "non-compliance" of the headlamps is mostly that they appear to be projecting the "E-Code" pattern. I've paid extra to replace my US lights with E-Codes on other cars... :up: :clap: :clap:

What is the E-Code pattern? And what other patterns could there be?
