Hi Guys
Looking for a nearside headlight pod for my Elite resto - mine appears to be twisted. At least I hope it's the pod and not the body!!
Thanks

Re: Elite/Eclat headlight pod
Didn't we talk about these earlier and identify different designs across the range. Have you got the correct version?

Re: Elite/Eclat headlight pod
Yep - defo the correct item. Either the pod is distorted or the body. I'll check the body tomorrow - if it's out it's because I didn't pay enough attention when prepping for paint . I can easily re-profile the pod upper surface if I need to - just need to build up some fibreglass in the right area and get it re-painted, but I thought I'd try another pod first.

Re: Elite/Eclat headlight pod
I know its an obvious answer but can Lotusbits lend you a pod? I don't think they would mind with the money you have spent there. Sure if you spoke to Dave he would sort one out for you.
Anyway - how about some current pictures of where your project is up to - haven't seen any for a while and you know I like a picture.

Re: Elite/Eclat headlight pod
Yep - a trip to Lotusbits may be on the cards. I'm working on lots of bits at once at the moment - so very little progress on any! But - over the next few weeks I think I'll have some more photos to share - maybe!

Re: Elite/Eclat headlight pod
The pod thing is interesting. Our crossover car (85 MY) definitely has one incorrect pod. It's pretty much unadjustable because of it. Need to get one myself at some point.
Kind regards
