mate had a Lotus Elise, one of the new ones, the build was quite bad, lots of trim falling off.

Hopefully Vx did the better job!

Who needs trim? It's supposed to be a sports car FFS!

Trim as in the window winders!  :o

On his when you wound down the window, it also undid the nut holding the winder on  ;D

Ohh and the headlight kept falling out  :D

Better built than an Elise and with better power plants.

There a great car to drive and more roomy inside than you would think (you need to 'fit' tightly in them as they corner VERY well)

Great fun, I would have one if the cash was spare (but it would be the turbo version!)
