I was two cars along from you,

You were at the Garden Party?

My anodised, brushed Aluminium data wall plate arrived today from Black Art Graphics. (3mm thick) Really pleased with it, and the personalisation makes it extra special, Dan even drew my custom wheels into it. I'm a happy bunny. It's A3

I don't understand your point. Year 4 is more expensive, presumably the 27k service is a lot more involved on Emira, but what isn't 'fixed price' about it?

We have fixed price servicing at Lotus here in the UK. Bell & Colvill website has this:... So about $540 for the 1st (10K miles) service.

I've booked.

The Wheels were made in China, I modded the design slightly (they're CNC'd, so it's relatively easy to get a design altered should you want to). There's already a pic of the rear vents in DV, and no, they don't seem to get particularly hot. Wheel company is here, but you'll need to enter the...

I'm doing the same. I'm mounting mine in one of the square recesses behind the rear number plate. I have mounted the number plate on a synthetic piano hinge (at the top) so you lift it to expose the magcode socket and it snaps shut with a couple of magnets, hiding the socket when not in use...

Got this a few weeks back

Also in Silver....

I have to say, my own opinion on the Emira is that I was extremely surprised just how low the road / tyre noise is compared to all other 'sports' cars I've had/driven, especially given the ultra low profile tyres it sports. I hear a level of engine noise transmitted through the bulkhead, not...

He says... A/C compressor seized, causing SC belt to fail. Bad luck fella, I have heard of AC issues, but don't know if it's resulted in a seized ac pump. At least this isn't actually a lotus part, incredibly, a Japanese part (I assume) has failed you :-/ Where in Hampshire are you? Jon

No, the various vents are still piano black. I am waiting for Aerie to offer the full set in CF (diffuser surround, std shaped side skirt, front intake vents, side intake vents, rear outlet vents) then I will purchase and fit them all at once. I think you have to remove front & rear fenders to...

Finally got the rear vents and trims painted in a DV that actually matches the bodywork. No drone stuff yet, but here's a shot showing the pillar, in DV from hood through to duck tail.... And a couple of the new Chinese wheels.

I believe they're 2 or 3 kilos lighter than stock, but I don't think for 1 second I'm of the calibre to perceive any difference in the drive. TBH, for me, It's just been an exercise in preferred styling. From that perspective, it's been a success from my point of view.

Some sunshine.. Everythng looks better in the sunshine. Quite pleased with the wheels, I think they suit it. When on the balancing machine, they ran lovely and true, and the biggest balancing weight required was 35g.

Finally got them on.. Will take some better pics when the sun is shining and the centre caps are in.

Pretty good fit for seat covers (and carpet protectors)
