Lotus Exige Series 2 Front Clamshell
Full fitting/painting service available at our West Yorkshire HQ - Full accident repair facilities in addition to our servicing and setup services.
We have now developed a replacement front clamshell for the S2 Exige 2005/2010 and Federal. Our intensive process for tooling of the clam molds involved not just sourcing an original clamshell but stripping back and prepping the clam.
All the holes and cutouts are done in the factory and captive fixings and brackets are bonded in where required.
The clam is both lighter and stronger than the original Lotus part (around 12kg against 14kg on the OEM unit). The original clams are mass produced using a “vac assist” production method which is great for making large volumes of parts but results in a weaker and heavier product. These clams are entirely made by hand by us and the difference in strength and rigidity are very noticeable. OEM panels have a very high glass content making them heavier and more difficult to repair if damaged.
We believe our replacement clams are the best available and are close to original in terms of fit and finish. Minimal preparation is required before painting and is normally limited to final prep around the “flash lines” that come as a result of our manufacturing process and possibly a small amount of final trimming. The clams can be fitted by any competent DIY owner or bodyshop with experience of Lotus cars. We trial fit headlights and indicators to ensure correct fit before shipping. Our clams are also single piece. We changed the production so that the clams are not made up from small individual parts (a cost saving method on the original parts) this again increases the accuracy of the fit.
This item is not to be confused with much cheaper and hugely inferior products. There is a reason why our clams are double the cost of some others!
We can organise freight delivery anywhere in Europe and worldwide. Regular direct deliveries to the whole of the UK - France - Netherlands - Germany - Belgium. We are the biggest supplier of aftermarket panels into the USA shipping weekly.
