Lotus Esprit Sport 300

Linings are either beige or grey depending on the interior colour, if it has black seats then the lining will be grey.

The boot space is normally charcoal/black no matter what colour the cockpit is.

Jeez you must have eyes like a s**thouse rat colin ! I never saw that , tony

[Guest]

Thank you for the picture tony. Will paint satin black, like the seats and doors, all the way up until the headlining starts then some flat light gray.

As for the tailgate I will go with flat black like the rest of the engine compartment.

Thanks guys.

Nothing wrong with KPH, it makes a lot more sense than MPH. So there nerdy freakoid

Agree

According to the instructions the radiator fans are suppose to be red, I find this a little odd. Does anyone know if red is a common color? When googling I find mostly black ones and one or two red and yellow.

[ojays]

Depends if they have been replaced with anodised braided hoses, very common in the custom/motor racing world. Available in red, blue, gold, silver & black.

Some special editions were made with red or yellow detailing to the engine from the factory.

[Guest]

ok thank you, will probably go with red then, there is enough black and yellow as it is.

I have made some progress on the interior and floor. In the last picture you also get a preview of my poor excuse for a wooden instrument panel; I need to touch it up a bit before I glue it in place though.

Happy holidays everyone!
