Really into this. Would put smaller wheels on for a bit more of a muscle car look but apart from that it’s pretty tidy

Agree with the change of wheels.
Can’t tell from the pics whether the front brakes are likely to accept a smaller rim.nuttinnew wrote: Thu Jan 20, 2022 10:57 amZedLeg wrote: Thu Jan 20, 2022 9:50 am The S1 Exige is one of my all time favourites.

I know it's shallow, but that mini-group-C look with the roof and rear engine cover etc is part of the appeal for me.Matty wrote: Thu Jan 20, 2022 10:51 am Exige S1 was one of the shortest car ownerships I've had at 8 months, so I think that says it all for meSave yourself the cash and get Dan to convert you an Elise...you'll even have the benefit of being able to take the roof off to hear it better.

Yeah, it's a nice looking thing but judging from a look on google that one has something wrong with the rear suspension. Sits far too high.Rich B wrote: Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:09 am Lovely front, lovely rear, lovely profil... wait! wtf is going on with the rear arches?!!
It might look better dropped a bit, it's a lot like a Fiat dino.

I'm not questioning their originality - I'm just saying they look awful!
Yeah I must be missing the same issue!Jobbo wrote: Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:53 am I'm definitely missing something. We are talking about the Stanza coupe posted by Zed? They're just fairly normal arches aren't they? Not overly enormous or anything?
Look fine and normal to me
