Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

[Gooner]

I'll keep the thread updated on how my experience with Silverstone go. So far they've been reasonably communicative, albeit the wait times have been long. Not sure if my long wait was caused by Lotus revising the door part during my claim. I was told there were about 10 cars waiting for doors with Silverstone, including my own. As Gooner said, the car has been taken down to an off-site, Lotus-approved bodyshop.

I spoke to the team over at M&A Coachworks and they have sprayed dozens upon dozens of of doors on Emiras for this issue. They take around 10 days with the car, but the issue is getting the doors from Lotus in the first instance!

My car is not with M&A, instead it's at a place in Beaconsfield. Maybe M&A have no availability so Silverstone are using multiple body shops?

Thinking about it, this may be where mine went for the doors as well.

I used M&A to sort a new rear diffuser and they had loads of Emira coming through for doors so I may have confused myself!

Thanks for the various inputs. Apparently the availability on doors from the factory is better now. I’ll be getting Silverstone to take a look at the car and progress the repair.
