Once you get it back on the road, maybe we should all meet up somewhere central to celebrate
Beat that 34 Emira gathering in China

I’d be up for that. Just don’t make it too far away in case I break down!

Just got mine back from the dealers after both doors replaced, great job with the paint but a pity someone washed it before I picked it up and put swirl marks all over. It has to go back to get the car republished.

Back at the service centre for faulty USBs and software updates in May (soonest spot).

Its a pity Lotus is in an odd place location wise, we could have met up and blocked the entrance in protest.

Never ever ever ever let dealers wash your car. I'm sure they use an old sponge that has been used to wash every car on the lot that day and dropped on the floor countless times.

I don't, they admitted someone rinsed it off before I collected it and agreed to sort it out. If I was the painter I'd be peed off as he'd done a really good job only to be ruined by a moron.

I took my car to a detailer/paint correction specialist, what an eye opener! Marks ive never seen, even in sunlight, were revealed. Sanding marks from the factory, overspray and scratches from new door fitting and flaws in the paintwork from factory. It looked like it had only ever been washed at a £5 car wash. He did say the paintjob itself was pretty good and he couldn't see where the paint was blended in, just where masking tape residue had been left on.

He's going to get a quote to me for correcting everything and one just to put the bodyshops mistakes right. Anyone had Lotus pay for correcting anything like this?
