CocoPops

Intrigued to see the airflow / dirt spray down the doors with the front wing vents.

Have shared to vx220 owners.

One for @C8RKH Multi use…

Please turn up in an Oooooodi just to keep @C8RKHhappy.

Yep, can’t wait! Really looking forward to it. I’ve got family on the island too.

I fitted the Evo64DAB. didn’t disconnect any battery terminals. fitted fine.

Funky! Interested to see how they perform!

I had a set of the wheels (non Lotus ones) from my Sport220, so when I sold the 220 I kept them and had them repowder coated in anthracite in readiness.

God knows I hate a black hole! Silver, better yet Anthracite all the way 😂

Changed my shoes…

£5 head? £5 helmet. Paint is purely vanity, nothing more I have an Arai GP6, I tried other brands, but Arai seem to suit my head shape more. You need to try the different brands really. I had mine painted by ImageDesignCustom in Isotope Green to match my Cup250FE, with CocoPops monkey applied to the rear, based on my old design.

@Jasonf@ Aerie Performance is having the smaller endplates made in Carbon. The smaller ones are shared between Cup 250 and Exige 410, so fit both. I've got a set on order to go with my carbon spoiler.

Yep. Can’t get the dash to recognise camera.

Can also vouch for Jason @ Aerie. Have bought a few carbon pieces now.

Yeh should be. modern ones have thick lining in place as well so probably helps with warmth and quiet.

Nope, vx one was different. vx had no lining and the adjusters were at the edges of the cable. The Elise one has adjusters in middle of cable.

Mine appears to be the same as my 2018 soft top.

And yet your car was delivered before mine? My soft top was delivered last week.

Helped me out this morning! was shuffling the 250 around yesterday and clearly left keys in ignition and switched on… Cue call from Vodafone Automotive at 4:49 as they’d received a “battery flat or removed alert” from tracker. Went to check, sure enough battery flat, googled reset procedure and this thread came up with Andy’s pic of the “the button”. Job done!!

Lotus123

Trust me, I want to love Lotus more than most. 2 vx220 (as well you know, yes Vauxhall, but more Lotus than other Lotus badged cars), 2 Evora (NA and 400) and now onto my second Elise (Sport220 and now Cup250FE). Have lotus learned and changed? No. Are they making people feel special? No. if it wasn’t for the love of the brand, I’m sure I’d have given up by now. I discussed buying the last of the Elise run within a week of my late wife passing, that’s why it’s important to me. They know that, it’s no secret. They mucked us about with #silvergate (interior) and inordinately high option prices (painted spoiler instead of black? £600. Painted spoiler end plates, instead of black? £600. Colour stitch? £600) and then they mucked us about with soft tops. I was promised they were to be sent out in delivery date order… imagine the frustration when cars were being delivered before Christmas with soft tops and yet still no news on mine!? Seriously, Lotus you have to change. For everyone’s sake, not least your own.

I fully agree Andy… my brand new Cup250 was supplied in September, delivered August. it had no soft top, that arrived today. No apology, just a soft top in a box with some bubble wrap. That didn’t order/pay for a hard top got given one free “to get the car out of the factory” those of us that did order a hardtop? Nothing. acceptable to supply a £60k+ car with bits missing? Imagine how that would go down with Porsche owners Oh and I paid my £2k the day after the big Emira launch… have I got any further with it? nope, still waiting for i4 information. Am I feeling warm and fuzzy about my Elise? Am I feeling warm and fuzzy about an Emira order? Also no.

I'm not sure they know...

It had ppf before ceramic coat.

Correct, the cage that comes with head unit fits straight into that aperture. It has press tabs that then stop it from coming back out. I fitted a Pioneer EV64DAB to mine (that came with the standard Sony HU). I simply removed the OEM cage and refitted the Pioneer cage.
