Was drooling over pics of this little pocket rocket and noticed the vents looked like the same ones on the Solstice.
Talked to a friend who was at the Lotus plant where they build it, and he said they got their AC vent/outlets straight from Alpha Romeo. So a couple of internet searches and found:

which is not very clear, but looks to be the same vent. Also appears to be the same vent here:

In that conversation, he/she mentioned a lot of re-use - including the mirrors - which he/she thought came from a fiat product.
Some more searching, and I found this:

and if you look carefully at the mirrors, they look a lot like the ones in this pic:
