Take the roof off a Exige, just 6 simple screws, and you will see the holes for the soft top roof bars already installed! Converting to a soft top is simple, requiring just two openings to be made in the rear bulkhead.
The Interweb is a creative place and I have seen all sorts of automotive art and image processing. Some of my favourites are the squashed mini motor cars and the optical illusion of one-wheel cars.

The Lotus Exige Sport 410 replaced the 380 in August 2018 just as Chinese automotive giant Geely were completing their purchase of Lotus Cars. The difference was a significant step forward in terms of specification, particularly the engine and suspension.
