That is good news Alan. Turn the accident into an opportunity and get all the normal gremlins under the front clam sorted while it's being replaced. Plus a fresh, chip free front end. :thumbsup

That is madness. But at least you'll soon be back in the Elise again. Did your policy cover a loan car? :shock:

Car is drivable even managed to get it through an MOT last month. :lol:

I believe the French manufacturer of the clams went bust and it has taken all this time to get a new supplier on-board, hopefully others will not have such a long wait.

I would have been happy to use a pattern clam but insurance insisted on an OEM clam.

Would be a laugh if the new OEM clam fit worse than a pattern one!

I trust they've supplied you with a courtesy car for the duration?

Yeah just going to keep it the same colour :thumbsup

Mark the car is still drivable so did not need a courtesy car, don't think the insurance co would have paid for one for a year.

Makes life easier! Should look great when it's done.

P.S... was not suggesting anything was wrong with the colour it is. :thumbsup
