I have two new doors being fitted today ... keeping my fingers crossed they dont bubble - has anybody had bubbling after swapping?
There is one report I’ve seen of a replacement door then bubbling. Think it’s on this thread, but may be on Facebook.

Got my car back from jct lotus Bradford and to say I’m angry is a massive understatement,firstly they’ve only replaced the passenger side door and they’ve blended in the whole side which has left buffer trails :mad: the car was in an inspection bay which was quite small so I couldn’t really see until I got home, they didn’t even put the Emira badge on :rolleyes:
I’ll be contacting lotus about this because now I have to pay my detailer to correct this and ceramic coat again

Ah sorry to read this, mines just been examined there ( blisters appeared only a few weeks ago on mine - it's an early one) and it's awaiting sign off from Lotus. haw the chuff do you miss a badge...
