Same dates as me, as discussed on FB or a.n.other forum
My deposit was placed at 00:15am on the 7th after watching the launch.
We must be in the first batch of the I4s.

Feel quite relieved to have the order in. Was magma red for nearly 12 months until I saw the Goodwood nimbus photos

I was at Goodwood on Thursday and Nimbus is awesome in the flesh. Suits the Emira perfectly. Of course, saw Magma and Hethel too. Cannot go wrong.

Ha

I have also said on here, and I believe it, that Nimbus is the single best colour for the Emira, in terms of how it looks and works. It was VERY close between me choosing the Magman 0 I hjad both at one point.

Funny those are my two least favourite colours!

But what a boring place the world would be if you all had as good taste as me

Ahhhh DV was such a missed opportunity. Still be cool. But...

For me given the shape of the rear pillars ot looks like the car was designed to have the black roof, also gives the car a lower stance imo.

This video does make me question if I'd spec privacy glass again, I like it on the back, I don't think the engine is particularly pretty so is better for the more subtle visibility.
However the side windows look a bit odd

I’ve been a staunch magma fan forever… but nimbus is so elegant. It’s definitely the choice for those folks who don’t want to be too brash or showy. I‘ve never come close to considering a silver car until seeing this.

I’m on the fence with BP, I’ve gone for it with Nimbus as I like the cockpit type look. I never had PPF so haven’t missed what it can do.

I had a quote to have the roof wrapped in black and it’s only £250 . I have been offered a early allocation but it doesn’t have upper black pack which is what I specked so I wanted to see what it would cost for me to do it and the answer is not a lot of money at all

That is cheap, seems the best way to go if you haven’t specked BP but fancy it.

And you can get self healing black ppf now so win win

I was pondering something similar but in a matt carbon finish

yep...just one of the 50 dusting applications required daily for the glossy black pack...give me a matt chopped carbon look ppf for a similar affect without the hassle

Carbon "look"

Let's keep that for the vauxhall corsa's

 

[Toomanyloti]

I was getting twitchy about the black pack as i was torn between the two. My taycan has a full tinted roof rear door windows and hatch glass ie they all are 'gloss black'.
Clean, drive 100yds....Dusty as a ba$tard

Ah well too late to change now

Is that a blue type 136 SUV in the background?

From the London Concours. Drew a crowd...

Agree. I would still apply self-healing black PPF onto an upper black pack to avoid having a scratch pack.

These photos are excellent in terms of colour balance and it shows the warmth/bronze undertones of Nimbus extremely well in daylight. Thanks so much for sharing!

The photo with the open rear hatch also nicely shows the amount of light transparency through the privacy glass - about 25% VLT as per Lotus spec and it looks about right.
