Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

[Speedy Emira]

Is this on the Nitrons? Looks lowered...and amazing.

Yes on the Nitron 2 way coil overs just over 15mm drop.
The image below is one I just took from the configurator on the Lotus UK site. If you look at the gaps they still have it looking lower than when you buy one and more like mine after the coil overs.

If you have the yellow stitching and Alcantara seats it’s the same spec as mine. Is it a V6 manual?

Great car. Let’s hope you don’t have to wait too long.

First time I have had to park in a public car park. I decided to go in the paid car park right next to the free one because there were loads of empty spaces. One advantage is no one parked next to ma another another the spaces are bigger.

Are they the 2 way/piggyback ones? How do you find them in terms of harshness compared to your previous sport/tour suspension? How about the handling?

First-class move! Right up there with not getting the cheapest insurance, but getting the best value insurance!

I’d say it’s a big sharper on cornering but other than that I’ve not noticed any difference in comfort. I could have dropped it another 10mm easily but I’ve had lots of experience of going too low and having problems with tyres hitting the arches. Also there’s a sweet spot with lowering that when passed it definitely causes it to be harsh over bumps. I’ve even swapped lowered springs to go higher again which is a waste of money.

Here is nimbus grey in beautiful sunshine. I love it. I call it a chameleon colour because it changes with the different light and surroundings

 

[Citizen]

Exactly , nimbus colour is full chamaleonic and I love it

Yes, the "Nick spec". (also known as Harry Metcalf spec by those that don't realise that I ordered before him!)
