Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

[Orchardbike]

My 2015 Evora 400 had bubbling on the rear, drivers side wheel arch. My 2023 Emira has it (badly) on both doors. I’m waiting for Colchester to confirm Lotus accept it’s a warranty issue and confirm timescale.

Yes but what if the blisters show after the 3 year paint warranty? Or the doors got replaced but the blisters appear again after a certain time?

I guess we will see in one or two years…

Is there still no fix for this issue? Lotus is just replacing the defective doors with more defective doors? If so these cars are going to take a hard hit value wise once they come out of warranty….

What’s the point of having them replace the doors with the same doors again? Seems like you’d just have the same issue again. I’ve been waiting for Lotus to get all the kinks on this car worked out but at this point it seems I’m just going to go with a GTS 4.0 at this rate if this keeps dragging on for a few more months.
