I've been pleased with my experience so far with Silverstone (now known as Woodcote & Copse).👍

Do you actually still have these on? We need to organise another meetup, so I can ogle them 😁

Ignore the URL snafu, but if you look at the photos of the product (not mounted to the car) you see it seems to have holes in it that probably match the bolts at the front. EDIT: actually, this sounds like they expect you to drill into the bumper and also glue it on 😓 😬

Lost me in terms of being any kind of technical authority at "adaptive damper" and "electronic limited slip diff", but watched the rest anyway :)

Yeah, I'm definitely a replace-in-pairs (or all four!) stickler. @Whitey 's suggestion is the way forward. Now you just need to get a rack, so you can carry the spare Dakar-spec-style ;)

Sure... that comment was more about how they'd make me feel about myself, more than a judgement cast at others. :) (holy resurrected thread, Batman! I don't even remember this conversation 😆)

well, actually, it's at the rear, and kind of offset to the right... 🦆😏 but your point stands: "inoffensive / not terrible to look at" and "improves performance" are the criteria to meet. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure if it was objectively the worst car, but certainly the most disappointing / worst substitution I ever got was several years ago in the US. Was away for work in Boston for a couple of weeks that happened to span the Labor Day holiday weekend, and a colleague and I got invited up to...

CVT drivetrain says hi! 👋

I'm not sure I'd wager on "affordable". Sounds like they're likely to head upmarket, and R&D costs for engineering in a hybrid system need to be recouped somehow. Still, I'm intrigued to see where this goes. I thought Geely only had 4-pot hybrids in house, so maybe the Toyota/Lexus hybrid V6? 🤔

I'm now wondering if this combination was the case for me too... mine went in for service and updates in May, so you'd expect the fix to be present, but maybe it wasn't due to time. I started seeing this message a day or so after I swapped in a lithium battery (several weeks later). Will add...

Well, they can feel free to move the body panel manufacturing to somewhere else... surely having those made with competence and consistency would stem some bleeding from warranty costs 😅 From a purely selfish perspective, I don't mind if they have to scale back output to stay afloat (and job...

Unlikely.

Full replacement ECU (Syvecs) from JUBU, or hopefully a custom tune on the standard ECU in the not-too-distant future from @VF Tuner 🤞 (and this thread is not the place to go into those things further 😅)

Yeah, you could always option either tyre with sport chassis here in the UK too, IIRC. For what it's worth, I found the sport setup ever so slightly more "jiggly" over high-frequency bumps (the difference was totally obvious on the test drive route, so props to Lotus Silverstone for the route...
