I was finding the overly bright lights on the overhead panel distracting, so put some LightDims over them to dull them down a bit... Before: With one LightDim: With two LightDims: Also put a larger one over the airbag light (didn't take a before pic, but did dull it down enough to no longer...

Was great meeting up today, thanks all, and the weather was perfect to make all our Emiras look lovely and shiny 👍

If you don't mind an interloper from Berkshire, I will join too 😊

My first bit of trim fell off... Driver's side top seatbelt bolt cover. It fell off whilst I was driving; I can clip it back on, but the clips aren't great, and it pulls off easily, so might need to get a replacement, or work out a way to secure it a bit better (without using glue):

Agreed, this is really bad tbf... I won't ever buy 3rd party parts that are not direct replacements in their own right... Smacks of poor design and even worse QC.

Hi Nick, welcome to the forum... Unfortunately your story is not dissimilar to lots of others - unfortunately Lotus seems incapable of communicating at an appropriate level, let alone with accurate information. Fingers crossed you get an accurate update 'soon' (Trademarked by Lotus!!). Stick...

I love this car!!... Can't stop peeking at it when it is parked up under cover... Although, after 200 miles, is dirty already!!...

Everyone's perception, wants and expectations are different, but to my ear it is perfect as it is. Once you hear one (in both Tour and Sport), you'll know whether you like it as-is or not.

I was super-conscious to check the brake disks on mine too, but to be fair they all looked perfect, no rusting at all... I just went and had a look at mine and the rear pads sweep a large proportion of the disk, so if that surface rust is still there on yours after a good drive with some...

Oh my... That looks... Terrible! ☹️ Is it just on the A pillars and outer 'rails' of the black pack (not on the main roof section)? Seems a bit strange if so. Were there definitely no swirls/scratches before you had it detailed? Going to be difficult to prove it was them unless you have some...

The 10th digit in my VIN is an 'R', if that makes any difference?

Can't really help with that. On a personal note, I have so far found the car to have plenty enough exhaust sound already for my taste. In Tour it is perfect for longer motorway cruises; Whilst in Sport, it sounds fruity enough for when you want to have a bit of fun. I am not a fan of 'shouty'...

Not sure, to be fair; I know there was a thread about this a little while back, but don't recall if actual part numbers were ever shared or not.

I started a bit of an Owner's Journal Here, if anyone is interested in perusing my ramblings and some initial thoughts of Emira ownership. 😎

I have a sneaky suspicion a lot of our cars were built several months ago, and now they are trying to get them all delivered ASAP... My service information on the in-car display says 181 days until next service; That to me implies a late Sep 2023 build. That timescale does tie-in with the...

They had one at the Hethel Factory when we picked up our Emira a couple of days ago - Absolutely stunning in the flesh...

Oh, and I finally get to do this: --> :)

Suspension: No doubt, the Tour suspension on the I4 is DEFINITELY stiffer than the Tour suspension on the V6. I am ok with that, but if I am being critically honest, I am also slightly disappointed, as I absolutely LOVED the Tour setup on the V6 demo I test drove last year… The Tour suspension...

So, having been the proud owner of a Lotus Emira for the grand sum of 4 days, thought I would start a bit of a thread to talk about my experiences with what I can only describe as one of the most beautiful automobiles ever designed and built… Factory Pickup: As soon as I knew that factory...
