Looks great!

Dave, pleeease could you photochop this pic with matt back wheels?

My usual powder coating place can't match the dark silver of the victories, will try powdertech in Glasgow next week, but if not I'd like to see what the black would be like.

Cheers

Next on your list should be black sports-racer drop forged wheels - they look great anyway, but will get rid of those standard S2 wheels that i think spoil the look of the S. There's a set on Selc*ck now...

They are the best S2 wheel for me.

Black on Black? Hitchhiker's Guide?

Obviously you need AC/DC's Back in Black on repeat in the CD changer.

Black calipers (easy to do with engine block paint - nice matt black like mine and it can withstand the heat)

Black wheels - oh yes, with black and silver Lotus badges.

I think matt black stripes would be rather cool on a black car....

Where can I get these for an S1? My wheels are currently centrecap less as I removed them due to having odd badges. 3 are light and kinda faded looking, the 4th is darker and cracked...

Is the best bet to remove the badges from the centre caps and get new stick on badges, if so, again where can I get 'em?

haven't got a clue mate! If you find somewhere that stocks them let me know! I just think they'd look cool!

Black bling

just not enough time to actually drive the bloody thing though

I bought my black/silver front badge from this guy on eBay:

I'm sure he emailed me to say he could also supply black/silver wheel centre caps.

skip[ AC/DC and go straight to Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath if you really want black

Then drink copious amounts of the Black stuff and you can sh*t black too.

What is that anyway? Has a rear spoiler which actually doesn't look out of place being on an elise...
