    In case your looking for parts.
    I did...already called them...they have 2 yards, don't show it in inventory. Said, it's possible it's there and not listed on computer, but he wasn't willing to physically go look for it.

    TEN36VX... 10-36 is police code for "Advise with Correct Time". Maybe the owner needs a link to the recent thread about resetting the clock?

    Hmmm, there's no telling when that person saw that VX at the salvage yard. I s'pose it could have been years ago.

    Hard to believe Focus fanatics are dogging the VX. I mean, we don't even have the cool European Focus over here yet. The 2011 is a nice car, but the rest are hideous!

    Gotta remember folks, Simon Cox formerly of Lotus cars designed the VX and even had a rebadged version called iron man made to highlight his interest in marathon running. This car is not too far off.

    Good find, Ldub. He did mention the Lotus rebadge back in '08. I don't remember that at all. The cladding was painted. I guess even paint on our cladding is not permanent.

    Lotus should definitely stick to making badass cars..not mini-SUV's LOL.

    EDIT

    Just read the rest of the replies..so, some douche ACTUALLY put Lotus badges on an Isuzu? You've got to be kidding me..
    Whats funny is he ACTUALLY believed it to be a Lotus, the owner of the VX has to be laughing so hard..... I love it when people ask if mine is really made by NASA (NASA badging)

    That board is so bored that one of their members talk about the negativity in there with all the stupid coments.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    i just find it funny for anyone with a focus to say ANYTHING about any other car on the market....
    owning a focus automatically removes you from anyone who ever deserves to say anything about other vehicles.... at least in my book.


    which brings up my next question... why were you on a focus forum deermagnet??

    I still have a set of lambo badges I picked up from a dealer that went out of business like 6 years ago. Never have been able to get around to putting them on the vx though. I wonder if it would increase the chance of getting it stolen?
