I had to do a double take as the miles were almost identical however, it's not the same car...nice catch tho

Change of side scoops color?

Change of side scoops color?

Yes, and it looks like they removed all of the badging and Sport 260 striping.

Change of side scoops color?

I'll be checking out the vehicle tomorrow (had the day off today) to see if the side scoops were replaced or painted over.

Yes, and it looks like they removed all of the badging and Sport 260 striping.

"Actually the North American 2010's didn't come with the decals present on the 2009's or 2011 Sport 260's. No rear mustache, none above the front splitter, none on the doors and no Sport 260 labels" This is a quote from Vishus 1 who believes this could be either #7 or #27...will know tomorrow.

I have confirmed it's #27. The registry is being updated to reflect that.

I didn't know that. They had the Lotus lettering in the back and must have had Exige decals, which have been removed.

Less weight?

Nice car.

 

[midnightfrolic]

so sexy. Hope it finds the right owner.

Nope - the 2010's for North America came blank - no LOTUS lettering on rear, not even an Exige decal. This is how all 2010 Sport 260's came.

Huh, that's interesting. I guess that I've only paid attention to the '09s. Did they have body-colored scoops, or were those changed?

AWESOME!

No, this car originally had carbon fiber side scoops. I understand your preference for the 09's, they were a diversified one year only version of the Sport 260's and have several benefits over the 2010's. But hey, they are all good, just depends on what you like and want.

Change of scoops due to painting, or swapping, or? Other changes?

 

[shay2nak]

Needs the "LOTUS" letters put back on the rear.

What are the benefits of 2009 Vs 2010?

It's minor, but I thought it was the other way round...
2010 (Cup)
- Subframe is lighter due to paint, not galv coating
- Subframe is stiffer due to the sheer panel
- All 2010's I've seen have Ohlins fitted (some 2009's had Bilsteins)
- 2010 have a dedicated Lotus OE 5 spoke forged wheel, with machined spokes (2009 have an aftermarket TD forged multi spoke wheel)
- 2010 Exiges got a slight restyle. Up to you but I prefer it.
- 2010 had a rear spoiler with sturdy twin mounts, similar to the original S1 Exige
- 2010 A Frames can have harnesses or seat belts mounted. Some early 2009 can't mount seat belts...
