Evora engine cover....

[Steve1]

I've finally thought it was time to buy a engine cover for my N/A. I know there's one on eBay but there's a few marks on it and the guy won't budge on the price last time I offer(to be fair it was a while ago) but I'd sooner buy from a owner or ex owner. 

 

Cheers..

Did yours not come with one or broken?

It was missing when I bought the car over 6 years ago. It was a Lotus owned for the first 5 year's of its life so it got left off the car(probably as they couldn't be bothered to keep taking it one or off..😆). I did write to the factory years ago asking if they had one, they did write back but said unfortunately there wasn't one to be found on site...

try es motorsport they have lots of lotus cars being broke, predominantly elise i think but maybe worth an email

I think picupsares is taking the proverbial. He is going to be saddled with that engine cover for many moons

Supercharged cover, supercharged price 😯

You could get a brand new C/F one for less than that

I'm sure that I've still got my 'old' one up in the attic somewhere after I replaced it with a red version 6+ years back. It was in pretty good nick when I removed it as I recall, being barely 4 years/35k miles old at the time.

If you're interested, I'll go look for it but it might take a day or so as pretty much the entire contents of my late mother's house has been put up there since, .

Glad I didn't just throw it out now but I thought at the time that it was way too good to waste and that somebody someday might have an interest in it, .

[Alfa2Evora]

Yeah, success - found it.

DM me if you're interested, @Steve1, I can send you more pics and we can discuss further. Let's just say for now that I won't be looking for the price on the eBay one.

Edited to add: Blimey, just looked up the price of a new one. Cover plus 'Lotus Performance' badge plus insurance plus VAT but excluding p&p - £747 

Didn't realise I'd chucked a fortune up in the attic, .

Thank you to everyone for your help. I've now bought one from a lovely chap on here called David alfa2Evora so I'm very happy...

The forum comes up trumps again....😁👍
