Just driving into work this AM and had a Mini stopped next to me at a light and noticed that it had VERY similar side reflectors/lights as the Fed Elise. They are mounted on the fender extension/flare and seem to have the same curvature.
Can anyone confirm that Lotus raided the BMW parts bin to source the Elise side lights? Wouldn't be the first time in Lotus history that they've used parts from a more common car (and won't be the last I'm sure...)
Makes me think that someone has found an alternative in the Mini world for these lights...
