Kingster Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 As per another post, here’s a recent snap of my (ex) Westfield turned up to a car meet in Inverness when I was up there for the weekend. Not quite a coincidence though because it now belongs to a mate of a mate and I also still keep in touch with the new owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, I really, really like the Exige so no, I don’t miss the westy. The Lotus has a proper roof and is so much more confidence inspiring in the wet that it meant that what would have been a miserable weekend in the Westy was great fun in the Lotus. Which is the reason I swapped over in the first place. However, if I were to actually drive it again around those lovely highland roads on a nice sunny day, the answer might be different 😁 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, like you said I wanted to try something to break up the mass of the bonnet. Sum total of about £18 so if I change my mind haven't spent much.

Just lined up the broad carbon ones with masking tape and applied them dry. And the thin ones I just did freehand, took me back to putting coachlines on cars way back. All vinyl from Ebay and very sticky, 2-3 weeks in and no issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 It’s a bit muddy out there. The wheel arch was absolutely covered until I drove through a bit of a flood and that washed most of it off! Still, will be washing the car in a bit… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrzej Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Todays - after wash picture Later changed headlights bulbs from Philips +130% etc to Aliexpress LEDs , Was during a beer so test drive tommorow evening, but looking good so far, seems a good improvement. (thanks for advice @Flying Carrot Steve ! (in fact His advice was original Auxito bulbs, but I'v tried the Alixepress version - will see. External quality looks really good , as is the fitting) From parking perspective I really can see improvement, might be partly due to more blueish colour, but in long distance swithch now I see the bulbs are working, that was not alway the case with halogen H4) ) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 First drive after fitting the side screens and they really make quite a difference in the cold weather, I was noticeably warmer inside. Had a 3 figure blast on the motorway too and they performed well, just a shame they've arrived just before Sorn. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
