By420 Final Edition

[By420]

Hello all, thought I would start a little project thread/ photo dump for those who are interested!

I picked up the car 3 weeks ago and have just covered 500 miles. In love and if i could afford to drive it daily i would!

I have a few plans, nothing major.

1. New mirrors, I find it some what comical how good the car looks and how little time they spent on the mirrors!

2.Side intakes, fancy some carbon ones as I feel like everything else is carbon apart from these.

3. Potentially some different wheels, this will be a long way if at all. https://esrwheels.com/products/new-gp5

That's all for now, sure il find something else to buy.

As soon as i picked up the car i took it to Carttitude to get a full Xpel front end cover done, here are some photos after it was paint corrected and installed.

Stunning! Lovely pics too!

Lovely car, lovely colour. For me it has one big let down and I can't understand why Lotus do it on the 410s, 420s etc. The roof. You have that lovely carbon engine cover and front access panel and then they put a matt black roof to spoil the look. Colour coordinated roof would look much better and a carbon roof better still. Just my personal opinion. Lovely car though.

Stunning pics indeed!😎
Yip have to agree - the 420 should’ve come standard with Carbon Roof…..I ordered my Fire Red Exige with, it was a no brainer👍

Does your Xpel have any seems? I was told the car was too curvey to be without seems...

My does, because Xpel is all precut.  If you don't want any seams you need to seek the ones they cut on the spot.

Nice color. Congrats 🙂 Enjoy the car and get the Hell slow mirrors as soon as possible (if still possible). They improve rear visibility a lot.

Learn from my mistake that water spots and octane booster stains arn't covered. So i'm paying out of pocket to have the rear and roof redone. Then I will ceramic coat them for protection

The only way to get PPF on the fron clam is to "bulk" it. I have seen it done on a 430.
