So interestingly enough in my stuff included with the car is a clear zip tie in a bag. Anyone know what that is for. I'm thinking it may be to attach this panel.

I made sure the Emira was drivable on my regular sneakers on the test drives. I wear an adidas size 10.5. I would like to get a nicer pair of driving shoes but its not high on my priority list.

Thats probably the new green they were taking preorders for. It looks nice. That said Im not sold on the bi color interior. Especially red with green. The painted tips are kinda cool though.

I've had cars sit way longer than 3 weeks and not get flat spots. I wouldn't worry about flat spots till you are in the multi month realm of storage. That said remember to check your pressures after a 3 week sit though.

Just did a nationwide search on autotrader for 2025s and there's a good selection of nice specs still out there. I still don't think they will deal too much as there's no inventory to replace what they sell but I imagine you can get a few bucks off. If your spec is available snag it up now...

Try them out in your garage with the lights off to test it.

I imagine if you tighten things up to zero play you may run into issues in the ease of use category. Probably best to aim for not much play vs no play. My shifter has a bit of wobble but still shifts pretty good. All the gears sit nicely with a notchy feel. Because of the wobble I tend to...

They only light up when its on Auto or on AC. So you can see them on or off. Its a white light thats hard to see during the day

Just wait till you kill your stock and then replace with this. Looks like they are currently running $319 on Amazon. If you wait till you need to replace anyways then you are really only paying the premium over a regular AGM which looks to be about $120 right now. Plus in theory these last...

That battery backup is a must. I ran a blackvue without the battery backup on a work truck for a year and it crushed the stock battery to where startups were a gamble. For the Emira I think Im going to run Garmin Mini 3s. Im hoping I can get some good side angles and run 4 of them.

For those interested, it appears Galpin has 2 of these listed at MSRP with no markup. There's a lot of photos too.

I took delivery at Galpin and they had the bracket in the trunk for me. They did have me sign something acknowledging that I could get a ticket without a front plate and acknowledging that I had them not put it on. Basically making sure I cant come back at them if I get caught without front...

Congrats. They had some nice shots of your car on their website. You should see if they can send them to you.

If they are 404ing America I'm not sure they would even try to ship to us. We might need an intermediary in Europe or something to put it in a new box and send across the pond.

So I did a VPN for UK and it worked. Seems they are just 404ing traffic from America.

Looks like the aliexpress link 404s now.

That was a fun run. Good to put some miles on it. I parked it at home with 250 on the odometer so I'm a quarter of the way to being able to open it up.

I saw some pics where the tint didnt look good with the defroster lines. plus I was worried about the heat factor from the engine. To match the privacy the shop did 15% tint on the windows and I had them do the windshield in 50%.

i only did a 2500 deposit for order of a 2025. It was never presented as non-refundable at at time. I got the car so it didnt matter from me but if Lotus is unable to deliver then its a contract default on their end not yours. They shouldnt argue a refund.

I was looking at a Vantage AMR with the dogleg 7 speed instead of the Emira but got scared off due to potential maintenance costs. I was also worried that I would have to baby it too much to really enjoy it.

How did it go?

Out of the pot and into the fire huh?

So this sticker was on my window when I got the car. I assume this is some sort of procedure if the window fails but it says to always double press the hazards when you close the door. Now I did try to see what happens but it doesn't do anything because the window is already down when the door...

OK so we are meeting at the Regal 10am on 4/27 right? I'm in.

I think silver wheels look good with Osmium but they clash a bit on Nimbus.

The silvers over red are really representing in 2025.

Exactly. Its a Lotus, not a special run Ferrari. It will depreciate, bottom out and then ride with inflation. Manuals will get a little bump but otherwise spec doesn't seem to mater much. Buy them to drive them. If you can find your spec used go for it and reap the savings.

Your link didnt come through

I just added my info to the list.

I'm not slapped in the face. I'm pumped they arent killing it anymore. The V8 is still years out, maybe even a decade knowing Lotus. Ill have a manual in the mean time and if it comes out Ill find a way to buy it. Hopefully in aubergine.

Rising this thread to add a data point. I got a full Stek wrap from Xsiv in Newbury Park. They quoted $6500 for paint correction and all paint ppf. I also added llumar IRX on the doors and windshield as well as the Stek windshield wrap on the windshield and headlights. Total for everything...

Is the seat pass through wide enough where they arent rubbing into your neck?

Anyone get the red leather version? Is it close to the red leather in the Emira? It doesnt look as bright in the photos.

So will the next meetup be this Sunday the 27th?

Well this wasnt today but I picked up my car from tint and ppf on Saturday. Its a full wrap of stek dynoshield plus stek windshield. Its also tinted with 15% llumar irx on the doors to match factory privacy and 50% on the windshield. Time to get some miles.

Looks like I'm not picking up my car till tomorrow so I'm out on this weekends festivities.

I would have loved to wait for aubergine but who knows if it will be around before they have to dump the v6.

4500 is in line with what they want for the other special green and bronze options. The orange i was told was going to be like 7k
