This is a very personal choice.....my own feeling is that Nimbus is one of the best colours currently available for the Emira. Though to some eyes it can look 'racier' with a black roof, the lines flow better without it. Harry's Garage Emira is a good example, he didn't go for the BP nor the...

I decided after originally going for Dark Verdant, tan leather, Manual, touring with the silver wheels and privacy glass delete to change completely to FEV6 Auto Touring Cosmos Black Red Leather Interior Red stitch leather steering wheel with Red TDC Red Brake Calipers Diamond cut alloys...

Agree with all that. Also a red interior that is Burgundy (such as Porsche offer on the Cayman) not lipstick red (I have ordered with red anyway but it's pretty bright.....) Certainly a red supercharger cover. Or even a green one. Talking to a chap at the Lotus Piccadilly store earlier this...

Yes, so I understand. It may be that the Tesla style direct model works when CS is good and you are selling 4 wheeled washing machines/milkfloats by the many thousand but not for a specialist niche sportscar like an Emira. Speaking for myself if there was an option and it's a little more...

I second that question. For the sake of balance....

Thanks for all the replies......the debate was.....interesting........and I got less abuse than expected for which I am grateful. I asked the question half in jest but half not, because I DO actually use it. In all my cars. But especially in sport/event cars. I will confess what I use it...

This is depressing though not surprising to hear. I hope that I do not fall into this mindset in six months......just like a gambler who thinks it will all come right, what I am counting on is that by the time my turn comes around, many of the small design or production niggles will have been...

That is what I am likely to do (as per my original post B&C are going to assist if they can) but I recall there is power to it..for illumination. With luck that is present in the connection to the drivers side but, may not be........one has to find things to muse over during a long wait for the...

I turned up for my test drive with a Lady friend (in her Elise) and she would like a mirror. So yes, the world has moved on.....

Interesting.....in about a year I shall look out for that....

Its a not very important un-serious question. And let's face it, there are plenty of those around any forum. But no-one has yet been able to answer it with any certainty......be kind. I'm new.

This is a small but strange quirk.... it seems that the drivers side sun visor does not have a vanity mirror on the reverse side but the passenger side does. And this is true as far as I am aware for RHD and LHD models. B&C do not know why this is the case but were willing to check for a LHD...

Many thanks and I did indeed turn up last Sunday.......next time I will be there a lot earlier as it was rammed!

As a recent depositor wanting to have a vague idea of lead time.......no luck on trying to call them.....as others have noted after half an hour you get a 'leave a message' message. And no call back. Reading this morning in Autocar mag that Geely are pumping £1.2Bn equivalent into their new...
