S3 centre console removal
sjw replied to sjw's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
I haven't dared to attempt this yet. It appears that 36 is pushed / clipped into place, but being colour coded, and somewhat flimsy I can foresee that things could easily go very wrong -
S3 centre console removal
sjw posted a topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
How do I remove the centre console on an S3 ? I have the open gated change and want to pass a cable from back to front. S2 was easy with a screw either side of the gear change shroud, and one under the cup holder. Cup holder one still exists on S3, are the front 2 now under the trim ? -
Only been to Folembray so far, and I dont think they care there

I have a March 2019 build 250, the V5 shows 103db and now have >6000 miles on the clock. It is louder than my S2 Exige with 2Bular and especially noticeable when cold

Yes, Fire Red interior, silver stitching to match silver wheels, silver aero uprights, silver decals. Didn't bother with calipers. I specifically wanted a 250 cup car in an unusual colour, and went to the factory to look at lots of cars that had come off the line. There was no Fire Red, so I was taking a bit of a punt in ordering it and paying a premium for the colour. I also wanted everything colour coded, that is no black engine cover, transom, service covers etc. As with many Lotus colours, when the sun is on it, it sparkles, but a dull day doesnt do it any favours.

Only one in Fire Red, as far as I know. As with many colours, a dull day doesn't do it any favours. In production On collection After Paint Protection Film Recent trip to Reims

Removable Steering Wheel
sjw replied to rogerch's topic in Ride/Handling/Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Tyres
I found the B&G kit with a 20mm adapter did set the wheel noticeably closer. The old style "snap off", though a bit clumsy, with same adapter would be better -
No ppf whatsoever as standard, not even in front of the rear arches. Cup car = Less is more That was the intention. I nearly went for gold wheels and uprights but felt that was a bit too bling

Maybe, but don't even try to pass

Any tips for soft top roof fitting
sjw replied to rafphillips's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
I did this work on my Exige when it was just a few weeks old... Scary Just find someone with an Elise and measure this, but it is not critical within a mm or two Measure 6 times, cut once The most important point imo is to cover the whole of the interior before starting to cut the fibreglass. -
Ooops I never gave it a thought that the Cup 250 may have a different ground clearance to my (now) sadly sold Exige S2. Got any figures for the S2 for comparison? Nearly there

Have you lifted the centre console yet ? I only ask as I am considering filling in the sides of the open gear gate (not the top, I like that) with a body colour panel.

I'm sure they will hide behind the "errors and omissions excepted" phrase PPF on rear arches gone the same way as sun visors, tpms, engine cover, USB port only on near side, etc It really is taking the proverbial on a £50k+ car Peapod, I don't believe any cars come from the factory with ppf on front clam. Its not an option, but even Scott Walker thinks it is essentlal
