seen it on few elises/exiges though they mostly seem american cars . anyone know if they are available here ?

still considering the chrome orange exige on pistonheads with removable steering wheel , would be great to replace with one of these bee'swaxers!

This is the airbag wheel (hence fitted to all US spec cars) and also used by the VX220. I would imagine if you were really keen you could get a VX wheel and replace the centre cap with the Lotus one, personally I much prefer the standard S2 wheel. The VX wheel has the horn in the most annoying place, leading to inadvertent honking of the horn during cornering :roll:

Good luck with the search for an Exige, Chrome Orange is definitely the way to go :thumbsup

Dave G can testify to this, when i gave him a shot of the VX i kept wondering who the twat was behind us honking their horn like a loon ;)
