How can the fitment be seen as perfect if one needs a file to make the hole a little bit larger to fit the panel?

Original panel I sended to Matteo was the same,I bought it from Komotec that was advertised as oem Lotus part...You can't do anything wrong with the pins I suppose,2 pins and 2 holes :-)

That looks very, very nice Dirk. If you don't mind me asking what was the lead time from order to delivery?

I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Well , mine was the  first to be made, so he had to make the molding (took several months) shipped to me with UPS , came home damaged,shipped it back to Italy , repaired it (took 2 months) shipped it back to me with UPS ,came home broken again , shipped it back to Italy , made me a complete new one for free , and 3th time shipping was a succes ,so all together it took me around 14 months :-) ..Eltech products are really nice but I think you have to wait at least 2 months (if you're lucky)

14 months?? Many people don't keep these cars for that long! I admire your patience!

Yes , I'm a patient guy , but it was mainly the fault of UPS , took them 3 times to ship to me without breaking it ....

How long would it have taken had they not broken the first one?

Yes, wheel arch liners must be removed to be able to remove the left and right black plastic thingy.  The upper left and right pins are reused, as is the locking pin.  For the front, your new access panel should come with new pins as the original ones are bonded to the to-be-removed mesh.

Saw this in person; great quality stuff!!  Fits very snug (I guess somewhat "lower" than OEM, but that's a good thing in this case).  We might do a side-by-side comparison with the WinAce front access panel 😉

Can you describe what you mean with "lower" than OEM? 

The elise shop panel looks like the red part at the front is higher than OEM 🤔

Eltech acces should be the same as the oem Lotus one,because I bought the fiberglass one at Komotec (and this was advertised as oem)sended it to Italy and Matteo made the same one in carbon fibre for me.....
