Will an S4 bumper fit on a 1990 Esprit Turbo? If so, any idea where I can pick one up in the UK? ALso my existing front bumper doesn't have any fogs. Any idea where I can pick up aq set of fogs and do I need Lotus ones or can any rectangular ones fit? My bumber just has a big rectangle at the bottom and nothing else, is this right?

That's an NA bumper. Maybe your car was in a frontal smash and it was replaced with the NA bumper?

S4 bumpers are different from the SE/Sport 300/X180R, the bumpers are rounder have different marker/turn indicator lights installed. The fog lights that fit in the stock SE bumper are Hella DE's. They fit in the hole spcae just to the side of the oil cooler duct holes. Sport 300's/X180R did not have these lights and I think they used the holes for ducting for the front brakes.

It will cost you quite a bit to change over. You can find them at:
www.sjsportscars.co.uk/
under body parts.
If you want to just change the marker lights, it is just possible to flush them in a little cost. You can take a look at my car at:
http://pages.prodigy.net/cnh/index.html
On the next page is a side view of my SE with flush longer and thinner marker lights. The stock side marker lights stick out a lot. They are gluded on and a small hole behind it where the wire to the lights go through the body. Just carefully cut away the body taking care not to nick the wire to flush in the new assembly. Mine are off a BMW. If you need more of a detail of the light email me and I will send it to you.

Thanks for the Information.

OK, I´am searching an S4 in Germany, but here
you have really prolems to get one. Only the SE
is awayable here.

so, I thought maybe I buy an SE ( If i find no S4) and
change the front bumper (coz I love it)!? Thanks for your answer
