    PPF or Ceramic

    my exige looks like its been to space and back through the atmosphere and then on the Paris Dakar Rally...3 times. I think it was born before PPF existed. Had ceramic on two cars now and it really makes a difference. As said b4 PPF and ceramic have completely different jobs but I have to admit...

    Duff info then somewhere as mine was very early May 21 so you should certainly be in front of me 👍 what colour did you go for as I imagine they will make them in batches of similar specs?? Only guessing Mines Hethel with UBP

    Emira vs. GT4 (and side topic: disappointing laptimes of the emira)

    and felt too much like a tinker's shack fantastic - get yourself into a S1 Exige and the S2 V6 will feel like a Bentley 🤡

    Carbon engine surround

    'we' nearly set up doing it when it first came out but its very easy to make a right bollox of it! Need good quality materials and a big heated water bath to do it correctly. Any imperfections and specs of dust left on the item to be dipped will show through so prep is really important sort of...

    Carbon engine surround

    Forgive me but if this is a serious question its incredibly thin ie a layer or two of paint or actually thinner than that. If you are old like me remember the water tattoos which came inside bubble gum wrappers? sort of like that

    Thanks for your Best Wishes Tim 👍 You seem to be in the same position as I am almost exactly in fact. The agent on the chat suggested my car is due for March build but the answer to type approval was the following..... Do you know if the auto version has UK type approval yet? 02:47 pm The...

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    I'm not at all doubting the info you are passing on but if that's the case mine will be on all the time as I don't use any of my 2 seaters in the salty season - and wont going forward. It makes my toes curl. If I do even 2000miles in the Emira in summer* it will be a miracle. *at this rate...

    Lotus official second hand Emira

    I think I posted this on another thread but the guy proposing finance to me called last week to say the rate has come down a bit to 8.9%. Still a hard pill to swallow 6-7k in interest over 4-5 years on 40k. Just not used to it are we - even us 'oldies'.

    Sorry for the delay - yes that what i was told ie the last changed date so they are going to need to get a wriggle on if they are to meet their latest date...which I absolutely believe they wont! I'm not too fussed now. Mid to late may suits for a factory collection with my wife as my 4yr old is...

    Elan Sprint

    I didnt know that about the bodies. I just thought that it was related to the doors being stripped from the moulds while still a bit 'green' and that deformed them. I'm going to look for a different seal. To be fair I have been that busy with kids and work the Elan has taken a big back seat...

    I nipped down to get some interior shots but they are poor. For info the original 'chapman' steering wheel didnt come with the car and are as rare as hens teeth. Its a period motalita which I have had recovered in Bentley leather (under the cling film). As already mentioned its just a big GRP...

    Stunning in white. You know how to hit a nerve!!!! Before the resto my doors were absolutely perfect.. mainly because the old door seals were completely collapsed and shot to sh!t. I don't think original profile is available so got all sorts of samples until we found the best one. The thickness...

    No but they are period knock on Revolutions. Fook knows what I would do if I bent one. It has some custom made spacers to help fill the arches. It was over tyred when I first got it and I will have to do some research for some replacements before its back on the road. Those firestones are...

It had so much waxoyl coated everywhere i scraped...

    absolutely tidgy. I'll park it next to the Porker when it comes home and send a photo and as one can see from Centrepunche's yellow peril we are used to a bit of body roll, suspension travel and the 145 x 13" tyres rolling almost off the rim!
