    Yep,after arguing it should be taken directly to Lotus. They said the engine was fine,probably just gearbox oil on the hot exhaust causing smoke. These are the "specialist" Lotus assistance are working with....

    100% not pushed this early, I'm keeping the car for the long haul and sticking to the rules for the 1000 miles. After speaking to AA and Lotus Silverstone they think it's more gearbox or components near that are the issue. Will keep you all posted

    It was a big risk that luckily paid off,had it have been horrid I would have sold it and reordered. I think the black wheels and red calipers really help it fit right.
