washed and cleaned... todays daylight inspection reveals the first stone / gritt chips

I'd get some stone protection film on it if you haven't? Looks lovely but the stone chips will really show on that colour.

Always wished I'd done that with my first one - doesn't matter on the 211 as it looks like Stu & Scott violated it with a cheese grater!

Wonder how much quicker it is round a track the a standard SC?

Good car for a Euro trip to Spa if you can sort your seats out

Amazing James!

Absolutely stunning! - I got a call from Ian last night after my comments on instagram...... so mine is nearing the end of the production line now. Might get to collect it in time for my birthday too... but mine will be trailered home I'm afraid and kept cosy until the spring.

I've done 3000 miles in my Cup and the aero 'pods' in front of the rear wheels look like they've peppered by a shot gun. Rest of car is ok I did the paint shield protection.

to add... cleaned my car and on inspection this afternoon those bits of the aero kit right in front of the rear wheels allready look peppered with only 180miles on the clock. All the rest of the car is fine... The issue might be the plastic (ABS?) they use is white under neith the matt black. If they had moulded them in a black ABS or polycabonate you wouldnt see it as much. Odd choice tbh? furtehr invesitgation required me thinks

Lotus design at its best, lol

Anyway it's meant to be driven so pay no attention

My thoughts exactly - scraped the ice off mine and drove it yesterday.

[campbell]

Are you keeping the Evora then Tony and doing the intelligent thing of having an example from both ends of the Lotus range!

[tut]

Tony does not have an Evora.

[campbell]

Well he did last time I spoke with him.

Whoops, that must have bypassed me.......tart.

Love the photos in the snow!

Those bits of aero in front the rear wheels - yup, they get trashed almost immediately. I've come to regard them as a consumable! I did wonder if it was possible to put matte wrap over them, but I get the impression not and mine are too far gone now!

You'll love the 2bular. Just got the full set-up on my 220 and sounds much better. I went for the resonated version and I think'll be fine for track. First trackday since fitting at Cadwell Park last weekend: tested a mere 85db.
