Morning K...
Viper stripes would look good on your "yellow 'un"
but only if you have a hardtop in my opinion.
They are removable (via a hairdryer to melt the glue and a little diluted turps to remove the remaining glue on the body).
If you like them then go for it!
Re, the suspension:
I'D stay well clear. never heard of them and wouldnt "waste" the money. The only suspension mods i'd let near my elise would be Nitrons (MAJOR ££) or lotus' own kit (also MAJOR ££).
Save your money, for the best
Im sure somebody will come along and say "
dont listen to him, they are a great mod and very very cheap"

Hmmm... Nitron's...
(Have 'em on my car of course
Well worth the £££ if the car is used on the track regularly IMHO.
Bye, Arno.
why? Why are nitrons soooo good?

Because they are expensive of course!
Naah...
Nitrons are so good for a few reasons.
First of all they are monotube high pressure dampers (like the Bilstein dampers on the S2, which are already a lot better than the S1 KONI's), which have much better properties than dual-tubes (KONI, Leda, Spax, etc.) when it comes to heat dissipation and damping response.
Secondly they have a very high construction quality and are fully re-buildable. They should also survive hard track use without a problem, 2 year warranty as well, which can be extended by a year if you have them rebuilt/checked by Nitron.
And lastly they have very good adjustability when it comes to the damping settings. Useful range is almost all the 'clicks' from hard to soft.
They are pretty much the best dampers you can get. Probably the only comparable ones are the new road&track dampers for the Elise made by Ohlins. But these are a few hundred quid more expensive.
Bye, Arno.
