Elise / Exige S2 Wing Mirrors

Post by a4drk » Sun Oct 11, 2015 12:15 am

Are the wing mirrors the same as another car ?

my car is in getting repaired & Lotus dont have a date for a new wing mirror

Someone told me they were the same as a Metro ! surely not ??
might have to go down the scrappies route to source one

Yup. Mount is not, but mirror is.

Tut you normally have a warehouseful.

Was very generous and gave them away Campbell when N3 departed to its last resting place.

Did not realise then that they were the same.

That's how I sourced mine after a deer collided with it.

Or may simply have been eBay.

I am sure that if you did a tour of Perthshire and Grampian you will find sufficient 'parts' of various 'Tut' originals to make a single whole. Might be blue and yellow mix but def enough bit to make at least 1...[FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]

you can reuse your old painted cover on them...that's what I did recently.

As long as you have that bit obviously...or you can paint the new one.
