Those at the top appear immune to consequences but can move on to the next phase despite their mistakes.

Agreed, F2 is where the action is. This morning's race was great, I'm looking forward to Barcelona.

I might be a bit later than usual, but I should be able to make it.

Maybe he was following Kimi's example....

The product may be as good as any other ceramic coating, but as with most things, the result is only as good as the preparation before the product is applied. A detailer will prepare the surface by decontaminating and refining the surface before application, this can take many passes which takes time. I cannot imagine that the same level of care is being taken at the pricepoint mentioned above.

According to Google... In the number plate industry, 3D refers to domed gel resin characters, whereas 4D refers to solid acrylic characters. 3D characters are glossy in appearance and rounded in shape. 4D characters, on the other hand, give a more solid look and a bolder style. They are more obviously raised off the plate. Sounds like nonsense to me!

Based on conversations with a few new Emira owners last weekend, it'll probably feel like it's taking another 3 years to get the parts to address the issues that still appear to be plaguing recently delivered cars. You'd have thought that the build process would have been updated by now to avoid what must be costly fixes, but apparently not. I'm aware of 4 cars with dead HVAC units that are being quoted as a 10-hour job to replace, and an unknown lead time for the parts. I can only assume someone is being compensated on the number of units out of the door, with no metrics on after-sales repairs. It's not a great customer experience, even if the parts were plentiful and the repair facilities had better booking availability.

My invoice from Jan 2023 was from Lotus Cars.

If Massa gets any air time with his move, it leaves the door open for Lewis. It might be more interesting than the dull "racing" and Red Bull debacle.

I got my fitting kit from https://www.seriouslylotus.com/ might be worth a call.

I used this fitting kit and followed the instructions to fit Schroth harnesses and retain the 3-point belts. s111-harness-fitting-kit.pdf

Sounds good, it was somewhere that I had in mind to scope out once it's opened before suggesting it as a location.

@pete Sounds familiar, mine was rejected for similar reasons.

Perhaps the factory should send a few people along to see how the professionals do it.

Interesting description... A full recipe will be provided upon sale, cash on collection.
