Ugh. Yeah, looks exactly the same as the single "middle finger in your face" blister I have. If that May 2024 build date is accurate, that would put paid the notion it was "solved" by then (but of I suppose, we have no idea how old any given panel is, regardless of build dates).

Thanks a lot for the insights @brainf18 ... decided to check them out and ordered a set, but will probably take a few weeks to arrive. Once I've swapped them on, I'll come back and chip in with my impressions too 👍

Good try. I gave it a "wow" reaction anyway. Initially I was baffled why there were no skid marks behind or in front, or how somebody could have hit you (while parked) and yet sprayed debris backwards and not moved the vehicle... :D Pro tip for next year. Include skid marks in the prompt.

If only... on my Feb 2024 build, first blister appeared a couple of weeks ago.

Argh, that's frustrating... I feel for you. As is often the case, Google giveth, and Google taketh away 😞

The TLDR for this thread is basically Betteridge's law of headlines

Not knocking, but I feel like black calipers would have been spot on :chefs-kiss: I strategically chose black calipers when I ordered, knowing I was going for gold or bronze wheels as soon as I took delivery.

Just do it. You know you want to. 😏 (I really love mine)

Agree, though looking at the picture, and the fact the split is lengthways rather than across the hose, makes me wonder if it accidentally got slashed with a box cutter (when unpacking a bunch at the factory).

I appreciate that everyone has different tastes, but... yikes. The black and gold I could possibly warm up to if it were kitted out as an actual track car, but the yellow one... 😬

Yeah, not surprised, sadly. I think the issues here are threefold: the sub is not a KEF-manufactured driver (based on info here at least), it is a free-air configuration (i.e. there is no "enclosure", just inside the cabin and outside the cabin), and it is a 6x9 (which means fewer options...

Fair shout. I actually ended up giving Peek metal polish a try, and was pretty pleased given the nearly-zero effort I went to this time. I'll probably give it a more serious go when I next work on the car (and maybe test some BKF).

The sun was out this weekend, so I finally crawled into the boot and fitted my GRP short shifter kit, and so far my TLDR review is that it feels great. Generally much tighter feel, and 1-2 is very much improved, which is a nice surprise. The most invaluable tool in this endeavour was a...

Yeah, throwing the template into the online quoting tool here came out at about 30 quid for 100% infill with Carbon Fiber PETG 👍 https://www.surfacescan.co.uk/

Thanks for sharing! Interested in hearing how you find these (versus low dust/ceramic pads on the standard rotors). @Eagle7 , am I imagining things, or did you also fit these rotors? EDIT: perfect timing. ninja'd by a few seconds 😂

"You can't park there, sir" Sucks to hear, but hopefully you're well taken care of by your dealer 🤞

Mine was also fully PPF'd and coated prior to me picking it up, but because the gas/moisture is coming from inside the panel, PPF and ceramic coatings don't prevent this.

Yeah, cheers. I'm taking it pretty calmly... had two years to mentally prepare for this 😅 Mine was a Feb/March 2024 build. I have left it outside in all weathers, like you would any car, and washed it on average every few weeks (more when it was warm out, less so over winter) by hand / low...

Taking the garbage out, walking past my car, and am greeted with this.... nooooooo! 🤦‍♂️ And so my warranty journey begins...

Interesting direction... I was going to paint mine gloss black before fitting it, but that looks good too. 🤔

Feels relevant to the topic at hand, but regardless of swapping ECUs / tuning / raising the limit for more power or not, one thing that I could maybe talk myself into addressing via aftermarket tuning is having a less aggressive limiter... the stock behaviour is dreadful and almost dangerous...

and only 5th gear 🤷‍♂️ Top speed is in 6th, if vmax is your cup of tea.

Please upload drifting videos for extra authenticity. 😁

I'm psyching myself up to do this in the near future... is anyone here in the UK printing these parts for sale, or can anyone recommend a printing service?

I had this same wish... and ended up going with the Aerie "V2", which does a pretty good impression IMO https://aerieperformance.com/products/lotus-ultra-light-alloy-forged-wheels-v2-by-aerie-performance

To be fair, this logic absolutely tracks with how they have played things over the last few years... 😑

I kind of look at it the other way around... what is the point of a tiny little screen that is awkward to look at (when I have a gigantic portable one in my pocket)? The A139 Pro in the family car has been great, and it's nice and discreet, so you pretty much just forget it is there. The VS1 is...

Nice... looks ready for paint! 🦆 😁

You can have the camera automatically join your home network when in range (instead of acting as a hotspot that you must connect to). Makes getting access to the videos convenient, as any computer on that network can get to them. Edit: the real win is if you set up something that watches for...

I'm running a viofo vs1 up front, as I just wanted something small and unobtrusive, but with with good low light performance (and it was crazy cheap around Black Friday). It is adjustable through a large range, so would work just fine as a rear facing cam. I don't really care for having a...

It is not. Only comes on with accessories / ignition.

Even though I am an even later build (Feb/Mar 2024), this is absolutely where my head is at. I'm intentionally not babying the car, and just leave it out in the weather, because if this issue is going to develop, I want it to happen sooner rather than later. I still only wash by hand using a...

Hot take: are these rejected cars with paint bubbling, that needed a respray anyway, so they tarted them up as "limited edition" while they were at it... ? 🤨 😁

The fuel gauge (line) does show the level, right? Am I missing something?
