Red lotus revisited today.
The car has been washed about 10 times since I detailed it. I saw some marring here and there but otherwise the paint is still in very good condition.

The whole front is being repainted and will be protected with armor-guard spray on clear instead of the more common clear bra.

Here are some pictures for you Lotus fans.

Amazing!!!

One of my favorite cars, if for no other reason than the bare bones-ness of it. The only other car above it being a tvr.

Re: Red lotus revisited today.
Awesome work as usual! I get to work on a grey one in the next few weeks here to get it ready for a show pre it going to the track. By the way, I posted up that site design info on that thread. PM me if you're still interested or have any questions.

Very cool car Thomas! I thought I was reading that the spray on clear bra is junk. I think it was on rennlist...
