I have been asking myself the same question. I have a carbon fibre diffuser and extension strakes from Aerie (which should (hopefully!) produce a small increase in downforce) and I think a front splitter in C/F would look good in combination. However I’m concerned a splitter will add too much...

Need to exercise caution here, some paint strippers contain dichloromethane! Now banned for use as a paint stripper in most EU countries, but not in others. Dichloromethane (DCM) does not burn and it’s a very aggressive solvent - not the sort of thing you want in your fuel tank!

Likewise, it was great to meet fellow Emira owners and their cars. Hopefully Orchardbike will have his back in time for the next gathering!

I did a Hethel factory tour in 2022 while I was waiting for my car to be built and two colours really stood out under the factory lights - Nimbus Grey and Magma. Dark Verdant (which at the time I had selected) just looked black. I changed my spec to Nimbus and really glad I did. I get many...

Count me in!

I’m still good for the 20th July if back on. Can’t make 30th/31st August as at Anglesey (Trac Mon) that weekend and early September will most likely be away on holiday.

Lotus Drivers Club (LDC) is a great club, with national and local regional events throughout the year. Very friendly and welcoming with something for everyone. They also have a growing number of Emira owning members.

There is a Caffeine & Machine at Houghton Conquest (between Milton Keynes and Bedford): https://caffeineandmachine.com/thebowl/

I’m interested and fairly close to MK. Can’t make 28/29 June or 5/6 July. Will follow this thread and come along if I can make it.

Why oh why didn’t Lotus use this shade of green for the FE colour option - as opposed to black verdant!

The Euro 7 emissions standard is currently due to come into force in 2026 and car manufacturers selling cars in Europe will be required to meet this new standard - which will no doubt be stricter than Euro 6. Anyone know if the V6 lotus spec engine will comply with Euro 7? If not then Lotus will...

Exactly the same for me. I collected my Emira from Hethel July 23 and have driven it in epic wet weather a few times, though its normally parked under a car port at home. Mine is PPFd so while I use a jet wash its set to low power to avoid lifting the PPF at exposed edges. So far, after 19...
