So I can't remember which YouTube video I was watching but the presenter was saying the only differences between Touring and Sports is 1) Tyres 2). Suspension setup.
Therefore, it seems whichever version you go for you could always switch btw Touring and Sports by changing tyres and simple...
I forgot to take a photo but they looked pretty bad - clearly damaged in a number of spots. You are correct that the mesh should have stopped any stones but i believe there is also vent behind the front wheel. I should have taken more notes but was in a rush and just relieved all fixed and under...
So good news … car all fixed under warranty.
A/C fault was a broken pin in the connector - some monkey at the factory must have bent and broken the pin.

It took 5 weeks of hard negotiations for Lotus to approve my works. It was a proper fight where I...
1. I am not "bashing" the car. I am just highlighting issues which you should not be expecting when spending £80k.
2. Stand corrected sir on the Blue that it is not flat. But orange peel is certainly more noticeable on blue and yellow cars. I don't know the reason for this but the least...
