Another vote for S1 style door handles. Although I actually quite like the 'parts bin' door handles on my Special, the simplicity and minimalist approach demonstrated with the S1 door handles just screams Lotus. When the time comes to paint my car, I will be looking into incorporating the S1 door buttons/cut out.
I won't scream 'sacrilege' if you shave the door handles (in fact tolerance for such things is one of the things I love about the Lotus community), but even on full on American customs, I never liked the shaved door handles. Just a personal thing.
