Just fitted an interesting option for those in the UK. The price was just too good for me not to give it a try! Predator SureStart, 40Ah, 1200 CCA, 6.9kg... 200 quid 🤩 After a bit of research, and some direct questions on suitability to the helpful mob at JustBatteries.co.uk, I sourced mine...

Possibly a little unfair. "Months" being since they first appeared on the forum on June 6th (50 days ago), and then their car had a tantrum and had to go back to Lotus, IIRC. I'm definitely keeping my ear to the ground waiting for news on VF's developments, but I don't get the feeling we'll be...

I would have spec'd the base wheels, because I fully intended to (and did) go aftermarket immediately anyway. Possibly would have skipped the KEF sound system too (I barely ever listen to it).

So... any chance you're going to get into the replacement door game, Steve? Show 'em how it's done! 😁 (only half kidding here)

Nice collection of insights. Fairly jealous of that colour too 👍 One thing I find very convenient about not having keyless entry is that scrotes can't gain access just by waving a magic wand near your front door in the middle of the night 😁

I'm escalated to a 90% sure, sans reluctant passenger.

I'm a flimsy "maybe" at the moment. Might have to bring a slightly unwilling passenger with me :)

I can't recall if you keep yours garaged, but 3 years of latency is a bit of a worry. I genuinely hope this doesn't continue to bite people who think they dodged this bullet, especially as they come out of warranty. EDIT: just caught up on the other thread, where you say you keep it outside...

Beyond just protecting against rocks etc, the biggest thing that sold me on PPF (all over) was the self-healing. I can get away with washing it like a lazy caveman, and any fine scratches/swirls just magically disappear with some sunshine or warm water. I've not found the seams to be as...

Heh. I don't even know what to suggest for availability further out, because I have to surrender my car for replacement doors and panels at some point soon (warranty has been green-lit). 🥲 Whatever other people land on, I'll make an effort to come if I still have the car with me.

Yep, postponement is fine by me. Life has conspired against me for this weekend anyway... bloody life. :shakefist:

Another one from those nice guys, with interesting insights into doing longer trips with these cars.

I think the biggest pro tip for any luggage (regardless of whether you are cramming it into the Emira) is to avoid casters and look for rollers. They just take up space and catch on every bloody thing (or get snapped off by rogue baggage handlers). And don't even get me started on cobbled streets!!

For what it's worth, there should be plenty of places that will happily print this kind of thing and mail it to you. All you generally have to do is upload an STL file to them and they give you a price quote (often without humans in the loop). That's what I've done for printed parts so far -...
