In short, no there probably isn't any huge advantage ... ever so slightly easier to reach the keyhole and insert / remove the bar while standing outside the car? Can still get into the car while the lock is on? Extremely visible to any reprobates walking past? (just tried fitting it as you...

I wish Lotus well as a company, and certainly don't want them to (continue to?) fall to bits, but as long as Geely group keeps making replacement knick-knacks, and if worse comes to worst, somebody can grab the molds for the body panels on the way out the door (seriously, replacement body panels...

Can double confirm... and found that by turning a bit further right, and feeding it through one of the *small* openings, you can properly engage both steel loops with much less hassle.

Wasn't particularly price sensitive about it, but figured pockets would just be more of a faff when fitting and removing the cover. Plus, I thought stretching out over the mirrors would make more vertical-ish surface for water / muck to run off, rather than a horizontal surface for stuff to...

Nice choice. After much consideration, I'm also ordering one of these, but without mirror pockets. Will also throw up some pics for comparison 👍

awwww... face!

I covered the whole car (with satin and black films, plus ceramic on top) because I am a neanderthal when it comes to cleaning cars "properly", and I didn't want to be stressing about swirling the bejesus out of the paint. This way, it stays cleaner for longer, is really easy to clean (most of...

You'll be pleased to know that these dirty pictures came with a happy ending... all clean now ;)

It's brick dust / cement dust from drilling or chasing out some existing wall... I'm trying to stay calm and good-natured about it, and figure out how to approach cleaning it without the car ingesting a bunch of dust (i.e. can't just drive to see what falls off first, before wetting anything) or...

Turns out that next door is having some building work done... which resulted in all our cars and skylight windows looking like this today :LOL: 😭 ... and the kicker is that I can't give it a proper wash, because yet to go and have my first wash when the PPF install is inspected. 😬 I guess I'll...

+1 on the ceramic coating of wheels and calipers, and +1000 on hoping somebody finds a good low-dust pad... my "silver" wheels currently look like I spec'd them as anthracite grey 😬 Thing is, I'm not that keen to take a chance on something only to find it squeals / eats rotors / fades after a...

About six-to-seven weeks.

Hurray! Just received two of my wheels (the other two went the opposite way around the world, currently sat in Louisville, KY :D ), and concur that they surprise you with their lightness, and that Jason and friends have done an excellent job packing them. Dumb question @Sentinel (or perhaps...

Made me think of this... "some things never go out of style, like tail fins!" :)

Yeah sounds a bit like they're making up some handwavy nonsense to sow doubt... how would Xpel justify offering 10 year warranty if the adhesive consistently failed? :confused: I went with Xpel Stealth all over (and gloss black Xpel on the roof for "reversible black pack") with edges wrapped...

:P

Agreed... let this be a warning to everyone doing a cat delete. :)

I got 3mm x 6mm (so inside width is 1.5mm). 4 x 7 (inside 2.5) would possibly also do the job more comfortably... the plastic edge is approximately a couple of mm thick, based solely on feel and zero actual measurement :)

Congrats @eriegz ... I haven't found the time to start a journal thread (read: too lazy / busy playing with my new toy), but I can definitely relate to a lot of what you said here. I hope you really settle into enjoying "living the dream". See you out there (virtually speaking).

It's a u-channel shape, so wraps around the hard plastic lip, kept in place by pressure of the seat edge pushing against the bolster (you have to pry a gap open with your fingers to fit the rubber over the hard edge)

The alignment of the rear bumper with the rear fender/arch is pretty much the only thing that isn't spot on with my car... it is winding me up slightly, to be honest, but I'm trying to get over it by driving the wheels of the thing :) Anyone know if there is adjustment possible to pull these...

Just added a bit of rubber trim on the seat to try and avoid the bolsters getting abraded / split by the hard plastic... not too obvious or offensive if you aren't specifically looking for it. Product link for those in the UK, if that is useful to anyone -

Nice... I wish they did this from the factory, instead of drilling into the lower lip. 😿

@Nick Sticks , worth noting he is in the US, so the EN standard probably means little, and the octane rating is expressed differently. 91 in the US does meet the minimum.

:applause: Well deserved... that recent set of mods definitely put it over the top, Bilbao! I have a special place in my heart for GoldenParrot's car though, as I'm in the Satin Seneca + Gold Wheels club (and his is just extra tuff with the rear wing / carbon skirts / custom vinyl)

Sigh. Doing the renewal dance is so tiresome... but 50% is pretty good motivation to shop around 😬 Not looking forward to next year if they pull that shit as standard.

Sure, no problem with sharing... unfortunately, it was with Admiral. By the time I pulled the trigger the week before handover, it ended up being about 575 with some modifications (wheels and PPF "exterior decorative changes") declared on top of the above details. Weirdly, trying to make it a...

You make a good point... given that service stations here seem to never have paper towels in the dispenser, nor water next to the pumps, I guess I'm going to have to resort to immediately peeing on the panel to dilute any spills. Did I mention that I really care about this car...?

Eagle adding weight? *shocked gasps* :) I'd love to hear if this makes a meaningful difference. Could be nice to take some of the road surface noise out of the cabin at highway speeds.

Bizarrely, my sounds seems to be a bit all over the place as well... sometimes sounds fine, other times you would swear there is simply no sub-bass (or even mid-bass) drivers in the car at all. Smells very software-related to me 🤔

Agree with your advice here. I've been finding that it is all about technique... only pump until the first click, lift the hose and give it a shake (gotta get those last few drops I paid for!!), withdraw halfway and give the nozzle a shake inside the filler neck, then use a fancy twist...
