Hey all, Just a frustrating story for you all today. I was travelling recently in my Emira, with my partner driving on the German autobahns. Unfortunately, during some roadworks they got a little too close to a bollard marking the temporary lanes and boom, the wing mirror is smashed into the...

So, as is inevitable, someone has worn a ring while driving my car and scratched my gear knob. As it's anodised, I have no idea what can be done to remove the scratch. Anyone used anything to remove scratches from one of these? Can it be done or am I stuck with it?

Hey everyone, so I started my Emira up this morning, condensation covering both mirrors and rear windscreen. Turned on the heated rear windscreen and waited, and waited, and waited. But nothing really seemed to happen and eventually the heater timed out and turned itself off. It took long...

So for a while now I've been pondering about mounting the front number plate at a slightly leaned back angle, rather than on the original plinth that came with the car. Wondering if that might lessen the impact of the front plate. I have a 3d printer to hand so set out to design and build...

As we all know, the Emira key is notoriously difficult to attach to anything because of the internal key loop bit. I thought last night, what about using some TPU and creating a loop to go through. Well all of ten minutes later on Fusion 360, and voila Printed out of black TPU, this little...

In my previous car, a '17 Mustang GT, I would make sure to wait until the oil temperature was in the normal range before going above about 3000 rpm, to allow it to warm up. I notice on the Emira there is no oil temperature gauge so I can't really use that as an indicator any more. What are...

So after a long wait, today was the day I've been waiting almost two years for, today I collected my new toy from the factory! My Emira journey started when I happened upon an advert for the launch event during the goodwood weekend. I was instantly enamoured with the looks of the car and, after...

So, after a long wait (my car was built in March) getting PPF sorted, I'm finally collecting my car from the factory this Thursday in the morning. Is there anything anyone wants me to keep an eye out for during the tour? Any questions to ask? Questions from this thread: * What happened to...

After a long delay (my car was built in March 😥), it's looking like the end is in sight and I might be able to go collect the car within the next couple of weeks from Hethel. I'm curious though, should I have the choice, are there any days of the week that are better or worse to do the...

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...

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...

Something I didn't even think about before but, a lot of sportier cars these days have the option of coloured seat belts, sadly the emira does not. Turns out it's not too expensive to fix though if you wanted to (saw this via an advert on insta...

Hi all, I've just had my phone call telling me that I've been allocated an August delivery. This will be the first time I buy a brand new car, so I've never had the opportunity for this to be a problem before but, I'm aware that the new registration (72 plates) will come in from the 1st of...

In the initial press release for the Emira, there's talk of a bunch of driver assists. Im not sure these will be everyone's cup of tea (I know adaptive cruise can be divisive), but at the moment, I can't work out if these are still options/standard or not? Seems there's no mention on the Emira...
