Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

[Bilbao-Emira]

Same beast, same camera, same country, same (stupid) photographer, different days and lighting conditions (none of them sunny), quite realistic to what my eye saw in the flesh:

Magma and DV inside poor lighting condition

Magma is a complex colour

Holy crap, that looks good.
Would be my colour/wheels/brakes spec. Waiting not so patiently for I4 in the US.

Definitely takes on different tones in the shade and in the sun. Attached are some quick iPhone picts (untouched) from my test drive in October.

it is by far the best colour for the car. It is not even that close.
Lovely deep red in the shadows and an explosion of red hot lava in the light.

It is such a gorgeous colour, I love how much it changes depending on the time of day and the amount of sun / light, photos below are already posted in my journal but thought I would include them here as well.

Going to try and get a time lapse video from my CCTV camera to show how it changes throughout the day from sunrise to sunset.

Looks like another brake pad issue...

Looks like your driver side front and back rotors have defective pads and they delivered it to you like this according to the photo below:

what makes you say they are defective?

You can see the rings worn into your rotors:

 

[MaybeNeedEmira]

Seems they (pads) are sweeping the full disc .. earlier pic was clearer.
I'd suggest that was just some parked-up oxidization only partially cleared in moving it a few times.
If in use they're now full-shiny, good to go.

Yea, @donskibeat should definitely head out to take a look at the rotors now.

photo shows comparison between drivers side and passenger side front - I can see what you mean - photo above was outside showroom so hadn't done any miles at that stage, currently it is in my driveway and still hasn't done many miles and won't do until PPF done next week, so hopefullly once it has been drive a bit it will sort itself out?

 

[Nova]

The rear looks like it may work itself out. The front definitely looks like there are three distinct grooves where the pad is not touching the rotor. You can kind of make out that there is a chunk of pad missing on one of the grooves:

I'd be curious what the other side looks like because they looked nice and shiny in the photos.

In my last post the top photo is the drivers side front, and the bottom photo is passenger side front.

Dark outside now so will have a close look at the bit you highlighted tomorrow

They need to be bedded properly. Some owners have reported fractured pads that required replacing and rotors lightly resurfaced.

A few pictures already. Got the car yesterday. Full video coming later today.

Absolutely LOVE it!!! You Magma guys are making me seriously reconsider my choice of spec.

 

[jamesbxxx]

I agree. It looks fantastic in that spec! I changed my mind away from Magma when I saw it at the factory under grey skies... Nimbus over tan for me now.
