What did you do to your Emira today?

[Frimley111R]

You have 2 Emiras?

 

[Wiz33]

Yep. Always planned on having both of the last ICE from Lotus. Just that it happened out of order. Original plan was to order the i4 since I missed the original FE 2..0 cutoff (before additional allocation after the last delay) and then get an end of production V6 manual in a few years. Then I chanced upon an orphaned FE 1.0 with the exact spec I wanted last May so I picked it up.

Wait... we all don't have two Emiras?

 

[seriously]

two emiras is a good way to deal with color indecision.

I'll see if I can use that argument with my wife

I began the project to install insulation in the doors. I took the door panel and inner door panel off and found this inspection sticker inside. It wasn't not attached very well so I'm happy I got it out.

The performance shop that's done some of my installs wanted to test fit their Universal Aero Kit x 12mm spacer (prototype) on my Emira. It's carbon fiber and influenced by the Redbull RB19 wheels. They are still refining the final look, but it was fun doing something different.

Finally got both cars together. The V6 is dirty from sitting at dealer service for a week.

I then installed the Magsafe phone mount/charger. did not take a pic but it's the same one I use on the V6

Since it's finally a warmer day. Came home, had lunch and gave the V6 a wash and cleaned the wheels.

I'm going to try a personalized design on my car which required a color match to Seneca Blue. I asked ChatGpt to find a vinyl wrap match and it was accurate.

Here's the wrap name and code incase this helps someone on here:

"3M 2080 Gloss Intense Blue Vinyl Wrap | G47"

I've put an Emira badge in one of my seats.
I saw that someone had this on their car, maybe by mistake at the factory, and I quite liked the idea.
I'll see how it goes.
One minute job to swap over.

Oooof, I have the same valve stem covers - were given as a gift too, worried taking them off will not go over well..

I have them too, just make sure you loosen and re tighten them every time you clean the car, that should make sure they don't corrode (stick) onto the valve as that can be a real pain. Worst case scenario if they are corroding is to get a new set of Ebay, they're only a few quid (well mine were).

Huh - that's pretty cool! You going to put it on the driver seat too? I think the font difference would bother me.

I'm going to see if it grows on me as it is.
I did buy two just in case.

I had no idea there were 2 types. Mine says "LOTUS". Where did you get these? Are these from GRP or an option from factory?

Chinese cars have Emira on the seats because they would have had to use Nyo Lotus and that's too long for the space. I ordered them through my Lotus dealer.
