I haven’t had the chance and time to drive the car recently, because of the bad weather. But I have had the time to paint and the put the grills on.
Before
After
I ordered also some parts from Elise parts. Oil filters, new badges for the extra set of wheels and the soft top conversion kit.
Looks much sleeker - less clutter! Nice one 
I got my soft top today so now is the time to read and see there to cut some I can install soft top conversion from Elise parts.
Maybe also a glass of whiskey before starting to cut in the clam🙈
I delivered the Exige to Cartech in Larvik, the only shop to do maintenance on Lotus, (but also work on Porsches and GTR’s)
I had them change the toe links with bracebar and do a good setup on the car.
I like how clean their workshop is.
Believe me, they really have pride in their work!
The owner of the shop races in GT4 class so they also build race cars.

Hi guys!
Just a little update🙂
At the end of September there was a car meet at a farm 1,5 hours from Oslo. It was plenty of cars and people there. It was 9 Lotuses there.
Some pictures:
Now it’s almost time to give the car a good was and park it in the garage til new year😞 But before that I bought some stuff far Seriously Lotus.
And unfortunately I found out that we lost to Elise’s in Norway. One with a Rover and 2zz engine. One hit a big pothole and broke the front arms and chassis and the other one went off the road because the tow links broke. Thankfully both drivers were okay.
A good think came out of this. I bought myself some 2 pot calipers for the rear (200 £) and a buddy of mine bought the 2zz engine (2 800£). The 2zz car had only been driven 50.000 km / 31.068 miles.
Looks like there is still time to spend in the garage 
Is that a sheer panel I can see that you purchased?
When does the weather turn bad ?
Yes, its the sheer panel! Im quite excited to see how it feels on the car.
Usually I park the car for the season in November. But it is cold in the morning and in the evening, butwe are still at 4-8 degrees then. But during the day the weather and temperature are ok.
I see that you are busy with your car these days.
Always busy with my car.
Let me know how you get on with the sheer panel. Interested to note any improvements
I will. I dont know if Ill have time to install it before the season is over.
I know that the cup cars have sheat panel installed and what I have read is that the structural sehar panel based on the vision developed for the Exige GT3 race car, wich increases the lateral stiffness of the reat subframe by 30 % further enhancing its handling.
So it increases the stiffnes to the rear subframe suspension pickup point and should then result in better tyre contact patch control.
But I have to wait and see how it feels on the car.
I will take someone with real life experience over marketing.
I’ll await your feedback 
I am looking forward to the sheer panel verdict!
I as well!
I am afraid it will be some tempting parts to pop up and I have to buy them.
It happened quite often this year😂
We need to be careful. Random parts jump into my shopping cart without me noticing at times 
Yes! Be careful Andy! Black Friday is around the corner
