Attracts a rather dangerous amount of attention from other drivers though!

i really can't decide which colour i prefer them in, black or red. OcUK's one looks good but that's mainly the stickers complimenting the base colour. Your one does look a bit bare, but who cares when they go like that.
Now to try and convince my old man his post retirement car shouldn't be an elise

Bet that doesn't get over much in the way of speed bumps!

Bare? It's beautifully uncluttered and shiny.

Err, yes - speed humps are out of the question. I can probably raise it slightly more, but it's at the point of really loading the springs. I assume they're constant rate, but not sure how close they are to getting coil bound - suppose I can try another inch or so. With the dampers set to full soft, it's actually surprisingly comfortable. Unfortunately the Formula R tyres don't really warm up at all, and the straight cut gear noise (in the gear drive? or is the gearbox straight cut too?) gets on the nerves after a while.

I'm sure Andrew has more pictures somewhere. Definitely a good fun blast in the countryside!
