I am falling beyond in love with this car, I have to say. It’s just nailing everything I could have asked for. So much presence from such a well proportioned mid sized car. It drives like an absolute dream and just makes me want to keep going forever. I took my Sister out for a drive and she...

I would call Scorpion. This was how mine looked and it transpired to be a faulty unit and had to be replaced. The thing to keep an eye on is if it’s a requirement of your insurance. Scorpion were great at responding with me on this.

I thought I would share that after a couple of hours of trying to get the Lotus Tracker app to work at all I eventually called Scorpion. They couldn’t fix it over the phone but did send someone out the very next day. A faulty unit was diagnosed and very competently replaced while I watched on. I...

Spotted a Magma Red Emira around the Cambridge/Royston area over the weekend. Looked fantastic on the road. Very distinguished colour.

Larini Sports Cat and Exhaust back-box have been the best mods on our Elise and Exige. Interested to see what they do for the Emira.

There was an issue with the original scan for the rear of the car. It didn’t impact those only doing the fronts which was fine. This, coupled with a slight change to the film and it’s stretch properties in the last few weeks, has resulted in the need for an entirely fresh scan being done by XPEL...

I was debating between the Factory supplier and Topaz Detailing (London). They were comparable offerings and price, in the end I’m going via the Factory and their preferred supplier for full detail, full ppf and full ceramic.

Just for those keeping tabs on the new XPEL PPF patterns. My car has now been scanned by XPEL UK - I can't say exactly when but sometime between Weds 8th and Tues 14th of March. So the new patterns should now be available to anyone getting their car PPF'd with XPEL film from now onwards. I don't...

The car arrived at XPEL on Tuesday and was due to be scanned Weds 10th March '23 or Thurs 11th March'23. I'm just waiting on a further update to confirm it's all gone well and new patterns are now available.

I'll update on here as it progresses. It's currently scheduled to be scanned later this week.

Righty, so my car is now heading off to XPEL for them to do a fresh set of 3D scans for an updated PPF pattern. I read somewhere that someone had a challenge with the rear section pattern when applying PPF and it seems that is indeed the case. It’s a combination of the pattern and an updated...

Another vote for Admiral, I phoned about 12 insurers and they were the only ones that offered a reasonable price (<£1,000). Moving to multi-car for the Emira got it down to ~£650 in the end. It was a somewhat painful process all in. Worth it in the end though.

I’ve just had the presentation key box arrive from Lotus Customer Care - I think possibly triggered by completing the feedback survey but not 100% sure. I haven’t checked to see if it’s RFID blocking yet but I think others have suggested not. Mostly a pretty desk ornament.

Fear not, the Exige Sprint is in good hands! Added a few Larini bits and replaced the lightly damaged chin splitter recently. She’s all good.

This might be my new favourite photo! Our Emira and Exige side by side for the factory collection.

Here’s our Hethel Yellow Emira. Absolutely chuffed with it. Personally I’m very happy with the yellow calipers too (always wanted yellow callipers). Arguably looks better with black callipers against Hethel Yellow but I don’t think it’s unsightly with yellow on yellow for anyone that might be...

I’m soooo in! It was fantastic to see so many passionate Lotus employees stop and take photos of our Exige Sprint parked outside the factory yesterday while we collected our new Emira. It really demonstrated how much love for the brand exists on site and even instilled a little confidence in...

That’s super helpful. Thank you. Picking mine up next week and can’t wait!

February 2023 collection here I come!

Hi all - Does anyone know which CTEK Quick Connect/Release will fit the Emira battery for the CTEK MXS 5.0 trickle charger? Do you need: M6 https://www.ctek.com/uk/battery-chargers-12v-24v/add-ons/connect-eyelet-m6 or M8 https://www.ctek.com/uk/battery-chargers-12v-24v/add-ons/connect-eyelet-m8...
