Thanks Bibs. If anything comes of this, i may have to start fabricating some of those mudguard brackets again!

budget 50k, ideally grey with black accents (SR look) and black interior.

Hi Guys, unfortunately there was never really any interest generated on this. I think i only made about two pairs as samples. I still have the drawings to fabricate some but the cost and time to make them could be a deal breaker. Obviously volume will bring the cost down considerably, but a small batch could see these at around the £100 mark.

I wanted to make replacements for the front access panel hinge but had to sell my car so i have nothing to reference. I also make a rear diffuser bracket for some Exigeseses but only ever sold a couple.

If you mean the classifieds here, i did that before. Orders were sporadic at best hence i passed the stock to Xr8 thinking they would put effort into advertising etc. I'll have a think about making a batch, but the cost will go up to cover increases in steel and shipping etc.

I'm the one that made these. Sold my stock to X8r but i guess they've discontinued them. I can make more and may even have a few available. All Evoras will need to change them due to rust, even the 400s i think.

Honestly, it's probably no more expensive to just make them in stainless -the extra material cost is negated by the fact the parts don't have to be zinc plated (which offers very little extra protection IMO). hi Bibs, happy to get something modelled up, then send the originals back so you can fit. Would need them for a week or so i guess?

I made Stainless steel mudflap brackets, now sold on X8r, my next part was going to be the stainless steel hinge, unfortunately i had to sell my car so i have nothing to copy. If anyone has an old one i'll happily get it drawn up and manufacture something that will never rust.

Happy to have a look -any photos, drawings or links back to what this is? Are we talking stainless steel? Aluminium?

Hi, thanks for the interest guys. I still make the brackets, but handling the orders, despatch etc. was a problem my end. the brackets are now sold through a company called x8r ltd - they're really helpful and have plenty in stock. They haven't got them listed on their site yet, but will very soon i'm sure.

Not sure if this is allowed so please delete if necessary, but seemed relevant to the SR owners on this page -i've got two black 19" OEM alloys (tyreless), from my old SR. Newly refurbished as they had some light kerb rash. Will post an ad very soon.

Hi all, I’m making a small batch so it’s cost effective, will help if people can put the word about a bit so I can sell them.

Haha! If you want a pair, just email me with your billing/delivery address: michael@pioneersheetmetal.co.uk I'd happily supply direct to Lotus, it was a while back that Bibs kindly took some to the factory, but i've never heard a peep from them. I only really sell these out of love for the car and marque, happy to keep doing it until i run out, then i'll have to decide whether it's worth it or not.

Hope okay to post here: I have a spare, unused set of OEM front grilles if anyone is interested?
