Thanks.
The collor is RAL 1018 zink yellow. From HB Body.
They could not find L07 yellow, so i went with this and are very happy with it.

Looks great!

RAL 1018 Zinc Yellow is VERY close to Lotus L07! Not good enough for a partial respray, but for a complete paint job, it's really good!

RAL 1018 is a very nice colour, the shade changes quite a bit in different light. This will be the colour I will be using for the S1 as well!

Thanks😄 .  I am very pleased with it.
 But are a bit worried about the hub and drive shafts, so i am going to replace them with vw parts soon.

The hub axles are actually Porsche 924/944 and the hub flanges are ISP West Type 3 .

Congratulations!! Your Lotus looks fantastic. How is the drive?
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Thanks
It drives like a big gocart, and is well behaving with the stock EFI.
No trouble with speed bumps either.
