Based purely on what has been said on seloc, give them a wide birth if you were thinking of buying a car but not so bad for parts.

I would go and pick up to make sure you are happy with it before you part with a decent amount of cash

As above, but I would go & view/pick up before parting with any cash!

As above + They price their parts according to availability, If they are available from Lotus then they are the same price as new,but 2nd hand. If they aren't available from Lotus they are 2x the price from Lotus when available. They would be my last port of call if looking for parts and only if I couldn't wait.

Give Jon Seal a call at Lotus hardtops, he seems a decent chap...

Yespete. As above.I bought my exige spoiler from them (uklotuscentre). He advertised pictured as a genuine spoiler painted silver. Never said it wasnt on advert . It was a copy. Looks ok but a bit thin fibreglass but I just put up with it. So be weary what he says if you buy from him. On the plus side I did get a few other parts off him that were genuine and cheap.
