    Had wheels painted black. Will they ever look as good as factory painted (gloss) wheels?

    Ok great thank you. Yes I trusted this guy and know he’s very reputable. So I am a bit surprised. Maybe I’ll just mention it. I’m sure he will make it right.

    What does it do better than supercars?

    I agree with you completely. I love porsche 911s, but find modern 911's too big, but asthetically they're very pretty to me: Nice and understated while maintaining an element of badass. I also like ferraris, but the ferraris at the dealership looked HUGE.. The superfast was in there and and it...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Hey Guys Side note here: I have a nimbus and I like it, but I don't find the color that amazing. Everyone (online) says it kind of changes colors in light.. but I don't see it. To me it just looks like a regular metallic gray. Is it possible they have differnet versions of nimbus? I...

    Had wheels painted black. Will they ever look as good as factory painted (gloss) wheels?

    Hi there I know a detailer guy who has a really successful, well-reviewed shop here I had the regular Emira wheels but recently thought they'd look cooler in black. So I hired him. The wheels look.. ok.. I thought it was a glossy powdercoating, it it seems like they have been sprayed. Is...

    Is it ideal to sit low in these cars ?

    Hi there Do most drivers prefer to sit low in these cars ? I prefer to have the seat higher because I feel I have more visibility and I like the feeling of the car “under” me But I am now considering going low if that is the best way to drive these things. Just curious how you guys prefer it.

    Is it weird I wish the steering felt heavier?

    I thought the car would have a heavy, "go-cart" style steering feel to it, due to the hydrolic steering. But at high speeds, it seems almost lighter than a porsche 911. Is there a way to make it feel a bit heavier? I was hoping it would feel what I remember my 997 porsche felt like. But...

    Is there a list somewhere of all the known issues and niggles?

    Is there a list out there of all the known issues, quirks and niggles about the car? I love the forum but sometimes I think it would be cool if we had a google drive document or something that anyone could edit. Like a wiki.

    Where is the wheel bolt key / lug nut lock key?

    Hi there I hired a place to powdercoat my wheels. But they cannot find the wheel bolt key. Forgive me as I am new to this -- I am not sure what this even is, but I assume its a tool to unscrew a wheel nut. Someone told me its in the toolkit. Is that where they'll find it? Thanks a ton.

    Am I an idiot if I skip PPF?

    My guy said that the next buyers can really low-ball you on price if there are marks from going without PPF. He seems honest, but, he was also selling me on PPF.

    Mild tint on all windows, except back? Weird?

    Is it weird to tint the windows, slightly, but leave the back one untinted, to show the engine?

    Am I an idiot if I skip PPF?

    I have a Nimbus Emira. I've driven it 400 miles. I now want to add exhaust and other fun stuff. But I just don't really want to PPF it. It costs a lot of money, and I want to break this car in instead of dropping it off at a place and waiting for them to dick around with it for a week. And...

    Sports suspension not as firm as I thought. Will it firm up more with break in?

    I live in Minnesota and our roads suck after winter. But.. the winter was not that harsh. But -- this Lotus goes over anytrhing like a boss. I actually feel its easier on bumps than my 911s. But in a way I want it to be stiffer on the highways. Hard to explain I guess. Its just a different...

    Sports suspension not as firm as I thought. Will it firm up more with break in?

    Sometimes I wonder if I actually have the touring on mine. One thing - I went for the less aggressive tires but sports suspension. Maybe that makes a big difference?

    Sports suspension not as firm as I thought. Will it firm up more with break in?

    The car is pretty amazing. And I am liking it more and more each day But on my drive home form the dealership, I found it not really as firm as I thoght. Will it get more stiff as the car breaks in?

    Strange pop when I open the door after its been sitting a bit..?

    Hi there I got my Emira today When I lock it, and let it chil for a bit, and go back to it, unlock it, and open the door, I hear a simultaneous pop (aside from the doors pop) Its kind of like when someone pops a trunk. Is that normal? What is it? I thought it was somehow popping the back...

    Keeping the car in Tour mode for the 1000 mile break-in

    I put 500 miles on my car today taking it from dealer in Chicago I went over 4k a few times... Its not a big deal right? Also tried sport and track but never hit it too hard. I realize some of you won't do this, but.. shit.. I wonder if it was a bad idea?

    I hate to say it: Nimbus Colored Side Sills / Skirts?

    I realize the "cinched up" look (dark side sills / skirts on a lighter car) is very Lotus in its style.. And I like it.. BUt I also sometimes think it would cool to have my Nimbus car all in one color, simliar to how car looks in darker colors (in other words not a contrasting side sill /...

    What can I do about Tiny Pedals, Huge Blind Spot and Touchy Brakes?

    I think I did notice it in the demo car I drove, but it wasn't as dramatic It isn't an issue at high speeds but in traffic its very hard for me to get used to It was very jerky. No its far different than the 911.
