Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

[Jenz]

My Car went in yesterday to get the blisters sorted. I originally took it in because of the trim alignment on the passenger door, and it was Lotus who spotted the blisters and informed me they'd fix them free of charge. To this day, I still haven't spotted them, so gotta say that I was pretty impressed by this, as they must be on the internal painted surfaces somewhere.

Two new doors shipped to the Lotus approved body shop here.

Mine went into Lotus Silverstone this morning to have both doors replaced.

Anything back on yours yet? They estimated 2 weeks for mine I miss it already

What courtesy car have they provided you both? I can't imagine they have enough fleet Emiras to cover everyone getting their paint sorted. When I spoke to 'Silverstone they said it'd be "an equivalent vehicle" which is very hand-wavey.

It was provided by the Bodyshop (porters in Portadown) and is a Mercedes C22. Comfy, but I'm not used to comfy xD

Insurance was a nightmare, they charged me £150 extra to move the insurance for a month (in case it was longer in), but Lotus Customer Care contacted me later that day and offered to pay the difference.

Unsure if this is a Northern Ireland thing or what, as Lotus is Part of Charles Hurst and don't think they're actually Lotus approved repairers.

JCT600 wanted £50 to cover insurance and they couldn't say what car I'd get, other than it would be Focus size. I have a daily so luckily its alright. Courtesy cars used to be free, not any more.
