Just started some Ghey winter mods while it is mostly hibernating. First job eliminating all the silver screws and detailing on the outside of the bodywork silver looks out of place on a black car. So still waiting for a couple of bolts to arrive, but they are all being replaced with black bolts and washers apart from the petrol cap.
The pertrol cap trim is silver and it doesn't look right to my eye.
So from this

Next Ghey mod. Lotus kindly gave me a few Vauxhall Astra bits.
The indicator and wiper stalks have been replaced with some nice Billet alu pieces.

Next up is a Scroth profi harness. The probax seats in my car are just a fibreglass mould but amazingly comfortable none the less. On track days though with the stock suspension you are riding the sides round bends.
This harness is the business, 3 inch wide straps, very easy to adjust and MOT passable.

And finally for now a baffled sump. This is a non sexy mod and bloody expensive for no thrill.
But some bigger upgrades are coming in the spring so if i dont fit a few mods like this then i could easily loose my engine to oil and fuel starvation once the G-forces increase.

Also my gear box is coming out in January to be stripped, looks like Lotus might be picking up a expensive bill for new synchro's
