Looks like the rear bumper will need to be modified to accommodate those extra-wide European license plates... seems pretty minor, though.

Those pictures are an effective reminder about how small the Lotus-derived Roadster is compared to other vehicles...

I'm not sure how it is in rest of Europe, but generally our license plates are wider and not so high as the american ones. But we've got a version with a smaller font which I beleive I've seen on a Porsche Cayenne among other cars. So I suppose finding a fit should be possible....

This post makes me wonder what happened to VP14 and 15. Anyone know their whereabouts/purpose?

Was it one of these that became VIN F003? What about the other?

Are you sure that is Fusion Red? It sure looks like a metallic color (thus, Radiant Red) to me.

Actually, no. I'm not sure. I'm only sure that it's VP17. I used TEG's list for the color name. What color is P2/VIN3? There were some pics with P2 and VP17 together and they look to be the same color. I had originally assumed P2 was Radiant Red.

EDIT:
Confirmed that VP17 is Radiant Red. In fact so is EP2. There currently isn't a Roadster that is Fusion Red.

RE-EDIT: No longer true. Signature 100, #5 is the first Fusion Red.
