Re improving the sound, I have an NA, but the BOE air box and Lotus Sports exhaust make it sound fantastic and a huge improvement over stock. I also have the 3rd cat delete on mine, but I believe your already had that? It’s sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong!

Crikey, that's nice!

This one looks very nice https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202208239046207?price-from=500&include-delivery-option=on&sort=price-asc&make=Lotus&model=Evora&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&radius=1500&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=bs119qs&page=2 But for a tiny bit more you can get an S with fewer miles on the clock? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202211241966377?onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&model=Evora&price-from=500&advertising-location=at_cars&include-delivery-option=on&postcode=bs119qs&sort=price-asc&make=Lotus&radius=1500&page=2&percentVehiclePriceDeposit=true

Yes, that one does look good, and a more realistic price….

Prices have softened quite a bit from their highs of the middle of last year, and with all Evora models from the original ones through to the 400s and 410s. There are a few 400s that have been on sale for many months e.g. the black one at Silverstone at 53k (that started out at 57k last April) so it will be interesting to see how long it will be before 400s drop to a price that people will be willing to pay, somewhere in the 40s possibly.

Sounds wonderful!

Hmm, that engine cover does look good and it’s nice to hear of a positive experience with Carbon Lotus, thanks for the reply. I’m really tempted to see what the sail panel looks like (and I can have the engine cover panel also with the savings over the one from GRP…)

Ah, thanks for the link, and oh dear, I guess that answers my question!

Thanks, I heard that it’s a bit of a bother to fit afterwards, so I guess I’ll just have to wait until it’s back in stock, hopefully it won’t be too long! On another note, I was thinking about adding the carbon fibre sail panel to match the new tailgate ( I’ll avoid the Elise-shop one judging by the other thread…) There seem to be a few alternatives to choose from such as Gregsraceparts, and an alternative by Carbon lotus. https://carbonlotus.com/product-category/lotus-evora/ They’re half the price of the ones at gregraceparts, but as with may things in life you (sometimes) get what you pay for… Has anyone bought anything from them?

This is a really interesting thread, I’m really enjoying reading about your hard work!

Any photos? Looking forward to fitting mine after Christmas, it really does look absolutely fantastic! Only one snag, I ordered the the miscellaneous parts to fit it from Bell & Colvill, but they didn't have the aluminium hinge stop bracket in stock stock so l will need to see if I can source it elsewhere. I've since noticed the entire fitting kit including the stop bracket is available on the TLF shop, arrggh, I should have looked harder...

Yeah, I know, I’m really looking forward to seeing it in the ‘flesh!’ Just need to order the other bits and pieces to fit it now.

:sigh: I wish I hadn’t seen this thread , but I couldn’t resist ordering one, this is an amazing bargain…

That's not the OTR price of the V6 FE sadly. The actual full price you will be paying including delivery, number plates, and the first year's road road tax (£2,365!) is £79,515....

Excellent, thanks for the link. 🙂
