I don't have my car yet, but remember seeing the option when playing with a car at Lotus Driving Academy last July, that said, I now can't see any reference in the manual about it 🤔

There is an option in the settings somewhere to enable or disable it, might want to check if it's enabled on yours

What did you use for the pin-stripes? Just a yellow vinyl tape of some description?

I expected an August build at one point, I can't imagine how annoyed I'd have been waiting all this time after selling 😅 The few weeks (hopefully) will be painful enough

I checked out on the 24th of march and so far have heard nothing back. I requested PPF for a factory collection which I understand adds some delay but I cannot seem to get any information now as I've sent various folks at lotus emails to understand when I might get the car, but nothing, no...

Where are people adding the option? Looking under modifications on the comparison sites in the UK I can't see any option for it. Lowest quote so far is with Admiral, who state any optional extras fitted by the factory do not need to be declared, so I'm guessing the factory PPF packages are...

27 this month, car also due this month Planning to daily it as it will replace my s550 Mustang Insurance from my current provider is crazy, they want £2800 for the year, can get quotes from comparison sites as low as £900 so will probably be changing For comparison I think that's roughly 1.5x...

Small plate makes a big difference to the front doesn't it! Looking good! Did you just trim down the existing bracket to stick that on?

Is there anyone on this thread who's had the factory collection and PPF option? I completed checkout last week and sent an email requesting PPF, not had any Comms since and was wondering how the timelines and communication worked for those in a similar boat

Check the post linked above, it's got details of the different packages and their prices from Lotus. The packages themselves are actually applied via DetailYourEyeCandy in snetterton

So probably not an issue until you want to pump the tyres up 😅 I'm looking at getting a cellink neo 8+ and that charges at 9A, so would leave 6A for other accessories, should be ample for most things but a tyre pump is guess

So when you do this, does that mean the 12v socket and battery share the 15A fuse, or are they in parallel so you could end up pulling circa 25A from the circuit?

After a lot of soul (and auto trader) searching, I've decided. I'm sticking with my Emira reservation and have completed the checkout! Thanks for the thoughts folks, I may come back to the vantage at a later date, but for now, I'm excited to collect my Emira from Hethel next month 😁

The current "factory" PPF option is only available for those collecting from the factory and isn't actually done by the factory. They are sending the cars to a local specialist in snetterton (Elliot at Detail Your Eye Candy) who is an XPEL certified installer and has great reviews all round. If...

I like what you've done with the front number plate, looks a lot better than stock! Can't be a full size plate right?

I drive about 5000 miles a year, it is my only car though I have access to my partners cars which are more practical. So it's a weekend car for going out to see friends or, wherever I need to go really. I currently have a Mustang GT for comparison, either will be a step up! Oh and I work from...

Manual

Hey all, So I received my checkout email today which means I need to make a decision on whether to move forward, or whether to get something other than the Emira. I've tested and ruled out a number of competitors, F Type and AMG GT for example. I drive a manual today and think I'd want to...

I've heard recently that details for a Lotus advanced performance exhaust (by akropovic) is due to be announced at the end of April 👀

If you do this, would you be open to sharing the model/stl file for others to print? I'll probably try to do something similar but my car isn't arriving for another month or two

This happened to me with autoglass and my partner's 7 series, took them 10 weeks to get back to me. In the mean time we'd found an alternative company who the insurers were happy with who got it done within a couple of weeks (part took a while to come from Germany)

Missing the extended warranty from the options right?

Just had my enhance/protect email, do we have any idea what that means for timing for the car arriving?

Given how much PPF is going on (I think it's equivalent of the gold packages by detailyoureyecandy), I think 3 is a relatively fair price from what I've seen elsewhere, but yes, the full PPF option is a little scarier 😅

So Lotus have arranged factory PPF options only for cars being collected from Hethel. This is mentioned in the 5 minutes with Scott Walker article. I reached out via the web chat and Abigail gave me the following information, so for those of you looking to pick up from the factory, who want PPF...

Hey @Pugwash, sounds like you have done exactly what I wanted regarding PPF, are you happy to disclose the price (via DM?) Or is it best to just get in touch with Scott? Do you know who the local PPF supplier is? Would love to know what you think about the job they've done on your PPF

Interesting idea, how far out of the screen do you think it would need to protrude to provide sufficient shade?

Has anyone asked lotus where it's gone? Is there anything else we know of that's missing?

I drove the Emira at the driving academy in peak summer last year, I don't think it'll be as bad as you think! The shifter sits right next to the air vents so, given we had the AC on, the knob was freezing to the touch even with the Norfolk summer sun bearing down on us! Winter, I guess it'll...

If no one else does by the time I get my car (March?), I'll likely look at doing some 3D printed mount out of ABS

Thanks for taking the time to upload that, I have a similarly short plate I intend to fit so it's good to see what that might look like! I believe lotus have a mounting bracket for Aus/NZ plates which are much smaller than UK plates, if we could get hold of that I think less hack sawing would...

Showing for me after a couple of refreshes

I wonder how they pick who gets the accelerated car, sounds like your spec is very similar to mine, so, this one is very similar, and I'm currently estimated for Feb build. I would imagine there are others earlier in the queue as well with similar builds. Perhaps they will only offer an earlier...

What makes the 4th year nearly twice as much as the 2nd year? That's going to sting

Has anyone had any more information regarding factory PPF options? I know they were initially delayed but still no sign as far as I can tell

I managed to talk to them and they have said basically this, if I'm willing to take a shorter drive, they can also accommodate my partner. Lotus are giving a 20 mile limit per test drive so we would both have to fit within that. Also, even though the slots are scheduled as an hour, each one is...

So do we know which of the specialised products relate to the two covers available for the Emira? Prestige and Prestige Elite?

Does anyone know what the deal is if we want to have our partner drive the car as well? My partner will be sharing the Emira with me and driving it a fair amount so I'd like them to have an opportunity to test drive as well before making the go/no-go decision
