Gorgeous! I'm awaiting my Nimbus here in the US. Do you plan to get those side windows tinted to at least somewhat match the back side window panel? IMO it would look so much better and more cohesive with side tint. I think with the black pack and privacy glass it really needs it but I have yet to see anyone do it. Is dark tint not legal in the UK?Enough of these glamorous studio shots showing the many shades of Nimbus, here's it's natural environment, a cold wet dull day on the school run

EDIT: I think I answered my own question below. If this is right, how painful. 75% tint is basically no tint
Vehicles First Used Since the 1st of April 1985
The glass used for the front windscreen must let through at least 75% of light on vehicles first used on, or after, the 1st of April 1985. Similarly, the two front side windows must let through at least 70% of light.Legal Window Tint UK 2022 | Car front Window Tinting Limit - UK Rules

No not legal in the UK, how odd the rear tints look depends on lighting and the angle you're looking at the car. Tbh got used to seeing them nowGorgeous! I'm awaiting my Nimbus here in the US.

@Citizen I was just doing some playing around with Gimp (since I plan on tinting my Emira windows once it comes and it's the same space as yours) and thought you might be interested in a preview of what yours might look like with tint. Personally, I think it looks amazing and kind of flows with the rear glass and black trim.

Yes - I am (not seen one in the flesh though)
I dont like tint windows in this car , I love how tan leather shows up outside
And here in dubai is a must , to protect heat interior from the sun , but I don’t like it

That’s my spec except for calipers! Love it!
I'm admittedly biased like everyone on this forum probably is but I truly think the Emira is more stunning than that Lambo. I have to say though I LOVE your garage. It's so epic.
I agree the tan looks fantastic with Nimbus and obviously I love your spec but I think the tint looks greatI dont like tint windows in this car , I love how tan leather shows up outside

I'll be doing 35% (legal limit) here in NC most likely. More pics when you can!!!
Finally partly sunny in north Spain
Looks awesome. Any new insights you can share on the auto transmission?
Very early days, only 500kms, and low revs.
Definitely can confirm the software managing the gear shift has improved from Evora.
Faster and smoother.
I will continue posting pictures in this thread, and give my driving impressions in other thread after run in, one week from now hopefully.
In a previous post it was mentioned how complex this nimbus paint is. Do you worry that if you have a scratch or need a panel resprayed, how would you deal with that? I read about a HY car that needed a small section repainted… but that’s a “flat” colour.
I did Full PPF plus ceramic coating. Hopefully will help with minor scratches.
if needed a respray, I hope Lotus will supply the accurate formulation for every color.
Nice reality check. What do we know of rust protection?
Salt spray is usually the natural enemy of paint and metal.
