Lotus Elan

Plus 2 parts needed

PostPost by: 2tmike » Mon Feb 27, 2023 9:13 pm

Does anyone have for sale these parts :
A set of octagonal wheel nuts (marked 'alloy wheels only')
A drivers side rear light housing, plastic lens not needed
A front bumper.
Mine are all servicable but really need rechroming so straight replacement might be a good option if anyone has the parts in undamaged condition with really good chrome.
Thanks
Mike

Rear lamp and wheel nuts now sorted but still looking for a really good front bumper. I'm booked to take mine to the chromers in a couple of weeks but it would be much better to buy one that has already been done if anyone has one

There's been one on Ebay for weeks Mike but it's not cheap (which is probably why it's still there).

Good point ! I'd forgotten about that one. I'll make an offer based around my re-chroming quote

....if it's of any use, I paid more than his asking price for having mine rechromed recently.

Wow, there's a big difference across the country then. My quote from Taylor's in Weston Super Mare is £330 plus vat. I've used them before and they are really good, but like a lot of places now a long lead time.

That was Derby Plating Mike, they are simply superb and the price they quote is the price you pay.

I had all of my plating done there and they never fail to impress
