I’m far from politically savvy but I’m pretty sure Trump described Mexicans as “Drug Dealers, Criminals and Rapists” and now he wants them all to be part of the USA? From “build the wall” to “take down the wall and remove the border and invite them all in forever”… it’s a pretty big pivot. Oh...

Whilst I understand Trumps America first ideology (not saying I like it but I broadly get it). I don’t get why you make such decisions without what looks to be much consultation or thought (remember the ban on flights for some countries during his last term?). It feels callous and more like...

I once had something similar… Just held the button up and kept it pressed for a while even after it went up. Then held I’d down and kept it down for a while and it sorted itself out.

2 1/4 years and 10k miles. A few minor gremlins but the cars hardly been off the road and has never been un-drivable.

Similar here with Admiral - 52, full NCB, couple of minor claims for partner in last 5 years, 3 points and costs £650 a year for us both - down from £900 last year.

Did you find anyone sensibly priced in the UK that will print this?

Yes I am… I thought it was a proper gear gaiter delete… my mistake!

Do we know if the new gear gator delete option in the configuration means that there are OEM parts that will enable the same mod? Sorry if this has been asked before…

That’s a £90k loss per vehicle sold…. So basically you’re saying we’ve all bought a £170k car for £80k?

From B&C in the UK you generally get a basic car but I have have been loaned their Emira as well. I guess every dealer is different…

It is there, could be hanging down. I removed the rear panels completely to have the seatbelts changed and it was dangling down behind the panels.

Carista doesn’t say that it supports Lotus. How do you get it to work?

10oz Rambler fits a charm and in the back cup holder doesn’t restrict arm movement at all. (Colour match wasn’t too bad either)

I know an Emira is not about top speed… In fact it’s one of its least important numbers…. however I still like driving too fast as and when it’s suitable. I’ve had mine is to just over 150mph (243 kmh) and it felt pretty lively - fun but lively! It was on a undulating slightly curved section...

I have a cable plugged into the usb and if CarPlay won’t connect I plug the cable in to the phone and that then makes the car play start… I can then disconnect the cable.

Got any pics of the interior trim changes?

Home sweet home

Yep - all good :-)

Thx for that

Nope… I guess that may have been the problem! I only removed the rear floor panel that covers the exhaust… Do I need to remove the one in front of that as well to get to those 2 bolts?

How did you get the 3rd cat out? I couldn’t work out how to get the cat off the 3 fixed bolts on the flange. I could get the nuts off but then was stumped…

Hill start works great but you’ve got to press the clutch for it to work. IE stop with the clutch depressed. If you cruise to a stop in neutral and release the brake the car starts to roll back.

Do you still have any other these? I'm after 2 if you have them... :-)

I used this paint. It goes on quite thin so I did about 6 coats and it came out well. https://autocarpaint.co.uk/products/audi-a3-imola-yellow-code-ly1c-car-aerosol-spray-paint-1999-2015 I think it’s a good match for the callipers however the seat belts are a yellowier / deeper shade. So...

Brad at Hide & Seam (who re-trimmed the wheel) had the belts swapped over as well. He sends them in to a specialist who’s already done a few sets of Emira belts. They have all the correct accreditation.

Seatbelt colour change today. I was going to get them untwisted but I forgot to ask the guy to reverse the direction of the sliding clip thing and the slot the belt goes through is too thin to turn them over yourself - you need to slide them on the end of the belt facing the direction you want…

Installed my Hide&Seam gaiter as well their re-trimmed steering wheel… Definitely feel like it’s coming together

Small scratch… not sure where/when from but I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last one!

Reinstalled the centre panel with yellow switch and with the new yellow stitched gaiter. I’m pretty happy with his it’s starting to look.

Yes he did. Nice guy. Out and back to me inside a week along with the gear gater.

Get your sewing kit out!

If anyone’s wanting to send the seatbelts away to be redone it takes around 1.5 hours to strip the rear to take both belts out. Interestingly my car was an early build and was initially delayed due to some delayed interior trim… Looks like they were in a hurry to ship the car out!
