DV arrived in New Zealand

[Panda47]

DV Tan Leather finally in my garage thanks to our very special Brand Manager Lotus Auckland, Chris Parker who I've been pestering for the last 18 months.
It is absolutely beautiful and to drive it is out of this world,no issues so it looks like it wasn't made on a Friday.The steering is incredible and the exhaust just enough crackle and pop.
The ride on touring is perfect and the finish compared to my other lotus is 100%.
Looking forward to a very long relationship .

Nice. You added the yellow pinstripe?

I can't tell you how envious I am that you get to drive that car on your incredible NZ roads. I would be out on Takaka Hill Road on day 1.

I've been around the world, from the California coast to the Alps to the Arctic Circle and your roads are still my favorite.

Well spotted,I think it just brings the calipers in.

Panda,

Kia Ora,
I am coming to New Zealand from the US and am actively looking at ordering your spec Emira. I would love to see it, I will be in Auckland from May 1 to May 5. I have not seen the Verdant Green in person and would like to see it before finalizing my order.
Cheers!

Hello
I live an hour from the city,but the lotus dealer in Auckland has the same spec for their Demo,probably easier for you to see it there.

Ha Ha, looks like I started a yellow stripe trend!

Its a stick on curved pvc which I purchased the same day I ordered the car,thinking it would look good.
What other parts of the your car have you pinned striped,I was thinking of a back and front but not sure.

 

[Bilbao-Emira]

I tried in other places but they didn't work for me.

Side like yours, front and back is all I managed to do not to kill the amazing design of the car:

Did you get PPF on your car? If so how much was it?
Thanks

Hi,no PPF as I will not be tracking,just nice Sunday drives.
Prefer good old fashioned polish.
I believe its a few thousand depending on full or part cover.
Best bet take it somewhere for a quote.

Not at all, great minds look alike!

Well done! 🥂

Second hand 488 for sale, next to new Emira in NZ showroom.
Wife likes the lines of the Emira over the 488

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

Yes, one matching as much as possible the yellow Lotus logo.
I will ask my detailer if he can give me some kind of reference

HI Panda47
just returned home from the Ellerslie Car show - I have a mate who has ordered one of these in Blue which is on the boat.
Spent the last 24hours on the config then decided on green/tan was searching forum then I realised there is a car in the flesh in NZ already - looks awesome dude - does this forum allow private messaging - talked to Chris but lost his card so will ring later in the week. Will pout over your photos - my other car is a 964 looking for something modern to complement it.
