Why would it be cheaper to buy the part for the Celica GT-S? It is the same part on the same engine!! You could have got that SP cover on newcelica.org for around $100 or less. What UK company did you buy from?Originally Posted by yjack

Sorry I should say from Celica GTS, I only paid 75$ for mine from Kenny on newcelica.org, but most Lotus owner get their engine cover from reverie, which cost around 400$ when it first came out for a flat piece of CF. The price recently dropped to 200$, which I think is still way over priced.

The car has the exact same HP figure as GTS, 190 HP
Good I am glad you got a good deal on newcelica.
I agree that $200 is still crazy for that SP cover but some folks just do not care.
Yea, I used to drop big money into car, but right now I think a lot more when0 it comes to buy any parts for the car. For example, the exhaust system for this car usually cost anywhere from 500$ to 1200$. And its basically only a freaking muffler with a tip. So I ended up only spending 250$ with Maintream, they did my exhaust in full stainless, and the price is including installation.Good I am glad you got a good deal on newcelica.

Luckily Elise share the same drive train with GTS, so I actually have some cheaper alternatives when it comes to parts..
