Those Aerie wheels are tempting. Not sure what colour would best suit my nimbus with BP car.

Did you stick with the standard wheel setup, or add any additional offset?

When I look at my standard setup, I definitely think 5mm or so additional offset would give fill the arches better.

Mine is Nimbus with BP, yellow calipers.
Went for Champagne Gold, same as @Golden Parrot.
5 mm spacers, it will not damage handling, actually might improve a little, and will look better, hopefully

Looking forward to the pics of them fitted :cool:

Any reason you went with spacers and not have the rims built with the additional offset?
 
I went spacers to use them also with the OEM DC Wheels
I got spacers to make the OEM wheels the same, but custom offsets on the second wheels.

Back on topic,

What interior carbon bits would people like to see?

I'm going to go matte inside and gloss outside, but I'd like to see some nice door trims, etc.
 
I'd like to see the gloss black gearshift surround and the gloss black cup holder surround in matte twill carbon *though I'm sure others will want the same in gloss. I'm not sure if there is too much else to do to the interior. Maybe the window lift switch surrounds or the black plastic trim around the shifter mesh cage?

That shifter cage surround would be really nice. Not sure how it even comes off though.

Same, I'm planning on matte inside and gloss outside too. Pretty much planning on replacing all the interior trim, jogoncarbon has door trim, full center console, roof console, and the gear shifter (i got the i4). Like mentioned before the only problem is they are all stickers not replacements, so i'm waiting for the real things

Exactly. So far only @Aerie has mentioned making replacements for the inside. @GRP has done so for the Evora in the past (I believe they're replacement parts), but he probably needs a car to prototype on

A removable carbon fibre cover for the cup holders would be great. Have not used the cup holders in the 8 months I have had my Emira!

You mean a blank? Just to hide the cup holders? Not a bad idea honestly. Or even a carbon blank with an interior color matched pad to extend the armrest. I'd buy one of those for sure.

Yes just a carbon fibre cover to hide them. The cup holders are not really useable for cups anyway as they would just get in the way and make changing gear difficult.
