    Small modifications

    About the same I think. Would need to unpick the cost to be sure as the total included the seatbelts and gear stick gaitor too.

    Yes, it's very close and apparently a Porsche Select colour. The trimmer refitted them as they were, so can't blame him for that

    Small modifications

    It was a conscious decision not to do it. If it didn't line up propoerly with TDC or with teh dash behind then my OCD would have gone into overdrive every time I sat in the car - don't need that jeopardy in my life.

    Small modifications

    Nope, the wheel was standard leather when delivered as I didn't want to pay Lotus £400 for alcantara only. So this is a re-cover from leather and add yellow stitching.

    📓 Journals Hethel Yellow with BP PPF and ceramic

    Hi all, It's been a bit frantic with my new Hethel Yellow Emira. I went to the factory to collect it, did the lunch (yum), did the tour (again for me, first time for my wife as I went last year as it was the only way I could get a look at exterior and interior finishes prior to locking in my...

    Sorry, just realised I posted this in exterior rather than interior! D'oh!

    Small modifications

    A couple of small modifications this week. The steering wheel and gear lever boot are now how I think they should have come from the factory if going for alcantara interior with yellow stitch. Big thanks to Brad from Hide and Seam (www.hideandseam.com) for his excellent work which I am...

    Feeding cable from USB socket to trinket tray

    Could I simply plug an Apple Magsafe charger (using a USBC to USBA adaptor) into the USB outlet under the gear lever? And if not then would anyone like to make a tray replacement for me to accommodate my case too (I use a leather folio case)? Happy to pay for it obviously.

    DAB radio station icons

    Small thing I know, but previous cars (and wife's cars) have all shown the station logo when tuned into a DAB station. The EMira system doesn't seem to do this, or am I doing something wrong?

    Dashcam for the Emira

    How do you find the F200 Pro in terms of functions and image quality? I'm trying to decide if I get this at about £200 or if it is worth spending the extra for 4K and additional features for, say, the U1000 or even the upcoming U3000 with the radar monitoring

    Dashcam hardwire

    I'd be interested to hear if the dashcam causes you any battery issues on the Emira, obviously depending on the frequency you use the car. I'm looking to fit a Thinkware too, and am undecided between hardwiring to the car battery or a battery pack specifically to power the camera.

    Running in procedure

    Sorry to drag this thread up again but I've never had a new car so the run-in process is something I've been reviewing. I'm collecting my Emira from Hethel and then its a 220 mile trip home to Dorset. This would usually involve a lot of dual carriageway and motorway miles, but is this a bad idea...

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    Did you get a response as to why you hadn't received the email? Or better did they actually send an email to you to let you know your situation? I've been chasing CS daily and I'm getting nothing, so I'm currently in the dark as to how/if this affects me.

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    I've not received any email from Lotus in regard to the pricing. I wonder if they were sending them in batches and stopped the process when they received a deluge of responses / backlash?

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    Haven't Lotus continually referred to "record number of orders" and such, so they clearly think that those placing deposits are placing orders.

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    Good to see that some people have received two emails, when others like me haven't had any! Left me wondering what the score is with my order now.

    New Shmee Emira video

    So we have yet another example of a reviewer / owner being very disappointed / critical of the "premium" KEF sound system. As this is KEF's first foray into car audio and a big deal was made about it as a premium product, I wonder if they can hear the reaction of customers and at what point the...

    Oddly I got the same email telling me that I'm March 2023 production, which I was already from the earlier email I received at the start of this month.

    UK test drive booking process

    Could have booked for tomorrow at Poole but the weather is going to be terrible, so went for Friday. Looking forward to it as this will tell me if I want to remain patient for my April delivery, or if I am going to take a different route with something exciting and used that I can get without...

    Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

    Just had the exact same. Iwas, at the last email, a November build / December delivery. So, another 4 month delay with no real explanation, which is getting tiresome. Very early August 2021 deposit, manual gearbox.

    Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

    Frustrating isn't it, I didn't ask what they felt constituted a "small change" although I have asked to go back to privacy glass having previously removed it. Other than that I was already happy with my choices.

    Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

    Just received a call from CS this morning: now allocating a November build with December delivery! Original deposit August 4th, bumped from a “sometime in 2023” slot as advised about 3 weeks ago. Very happy as it's a daily driver so not bothered about getting it in the winter. Spec is: V6 manual...

    Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

    They really don't have the first idea what they are doing. My production date was originally October (yes, that's 2022 for clarity) and I had to finalise my spec by the end of May. My production date is now some unspecified time in 2023 yet I still can't change spec without penalty / delay and...

    Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

    I got my email with "Your Emira is estimated to be produced in 2023 and we will confirm a production and delivery timing very early in the year". Last I heard from Customer Services was December build and January delivery.
