lotus Elise to have exige rear end
can you get a rear engine cover to make a S1 Elise almost appear like a exige rear end ???

cheers if anyone knows

why get the car first THEN find out
and YES ive tried,,,, i can get in it easy enough ( left leg first,slide arse down seat and pull right leg in and your there)
getting out is more a case of park round corner out of site of people, bum on sill and fall back onto pavement backwards roll over, get up off floor and dust ones self off, close door and set alarm
in the case of breaking down on motorway,,,, call AA and hope they are fucking quick as i aint doing that in the hard shoulder
anyway quite like em but the rear part i aint a fan of

Doubt it, as the exige is a permanent hard top which has a roof scoop directing air in to the engine compartment. You could just get a motorsport roof and exige rear clam and it would look the part, but you would loose the rag top experience.
Also Exige clams are considerably heavier...
Edited to say, scrap that idea if your a big lad, as getting in and out of an exige is a mission! Very funny to watch others struggle though
