"I treat them as consumable bumper protectors" Great point, this sold it to me, since other drivers have mashed mine twice now.

I was amazed that all four tyre pressure warnings came on within 30 minutes of each other. Is this just very consistent leakage or could there be a digital aspect to this synchronicity?

I have the same cover, and there is no way i can get the mirrors in the pockets - my cover is a lot tighter that your photo shows. If I hadn't had my car fully PPF'd I'd be a little worried about taking a cover on and off every week, but as i said mine is so much tighter.

My first road trip in the Emira was to Northern Italy (from London) last year, and I've just returned from Andorra via Carcassonne (1400 miles). Had the car since Feb 2023 and the only issue is that panel on the right of the engine surround has dropped down during normal driving. This photo from...

I don't know how you got that over the mirrors - mine definitely won't go over the mirrors, but mine looks a LOT tighter that that. Really unhappy with it.

I can't think of a reason not to. I probably wouldn't go to work if it wasn't for the drive.

Agreed. The first couple of times I hit the limiter hard it felt almost dangerous - it unsettled the balance of the car like a kick from nowhere.

I've not noticed this. I like the three level control, good difference between them.

sounds perfect!

Just me making a conclusion regarding my Lotus Approved Agent declining the fitting of the Larini product on the basis of my car being under warranty.

The point is that it will void the warranty.

Good to know B&C are happy to fit this upgrade, but I wonder about the warranty. Lotus Silverstone won't fit aftermarket upgrades to cars still under warranty.

Any idea what kind of increase to insurance this would make?

Ditto here too, 4000+ miles, been to Scotland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. So many great memories with the car already.

@AndyC great post ! A dream come try by the sound of things given your knowledge of the alps - and as an ex-snowboarder i've always been curious what those roads that are closed in winter are like for driving in the summer - good to hear they live up to expectation. Took my Emira to the alps in...

If you're so risk averse I don't know why you'd be even thinking of purchasing any high performance car.

@emirahl your experience with the toll stations is better than mine. With my Google Pixel we would have to press a few buttons or occasionally restart the phone to get the connection back - probably took a coupe of minutes. I'm curious about the priority setting on the phone - is it "Automatic...

No problem with my blades sticking to the Stek film on my glass. Perhaps the ceramic coating helps.

Not long returned from a 2000 mile trip in the Emira and I was so impressed with the seats in terms of comfort. I've had two major spinal injuries in my life (snowboarding and motorcycling) and so my back can be sensitive, but i found the Emira seats so perfect that I forgot about them. Only...

Every time I arrived at a French or Italian toll barriers the connection between car and phone was lost. Has anyone else encountered this?

A few more pics.

Just back from a two thousand mile trip to Northern Italy from London via France/Austria on the way there, and Switzerland/France on the way home . I haven't had any issues from new, four thousand on the clock now. The only strange thing I encountered with the car was a very difficult and...

I can't make this one unfortunately (driving back from Italy), hope to see you next time.

We'll be on the 12:50 shuttle tomorrow.

Hero driver ✨ I think Emira's only negative on this kind of trip is that you can't put the roof down.

Congratulations 🤩 The car tax in DK is very high, so I'm sure the sight of such an exotic car is rare on the roads there.

good idea (y)

I'm sure the outdoor one I have from Lotus ones is made by SpecialisedCarCovers. I did manage to get the cover on the car with the mirrors in the out position once. It required a lot of effort, and I dislocated a mirror taking it off. Fortunately the mirror did not break, but it stopped me from...

Mirrors folded in is the only way to get it on - but it looks very wrong like this.

I have one and it's not great. It's so tight across the side mirrors that they don't fit into the mirror pockets.

That's a pity, looking forward to seeing you there next time.

Hi Clive, welcome to the forum. I'm in NW5, perhaps quite close to you so if you need to compare the sound with another Emira, or just meet for a coffee let me know.

The HY was filthy 😁 . I keep it on the street and don't wash it, and it's still loud.
