ramjet Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I was just wondering, what if you decide to wait and the colour that you hope for doesn't eventuate? Wouldn't you then end up waiting possibly another 12 months to get an Emira with a discounted LE bundle?

Gold FFM DaveC72 Posted August 19, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 That genuinely has caused me a re-think... ...The yellow posted earlier made me happy with my initial thoughts, and hanging on for the colour I wanted was not going to be a problem... ... until I saw the Orange. Almost wish I hadn't asked, now! Argh. First world problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonb Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 9 hours ago, Evotion said: Am I right in saying that a WRAP is as good as putting PPF on the car - in terms of paint protection. Just thinking maybe instead of worrying about the colour and then PPFing it with Ceramic coating I can just di a wrap in the colour I want and leave it at that. Or do you still have to protect the car/wrap? you would need to supervise the whole process, and have a very trusted wrapper, so that they dont cut down on the paint below as they wrap (if you want it reversible) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post glen8 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 White @DaveC72 I think you've opened up a can of worms for everybody. Orange wasn't even on my radar till now. It looks amazing! (then again, they all do). 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freefall_junkie Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I am not normally a fan of white cars but that looks fantastic. My takeaway from all these renderings is that the grey of the launch car is by far the poorest colour for showing of the Emira's lines. Strange choice by the Lotus marketing bods.

They are made from different material. That was my understanding, I have Xpel but would be interested in a colour change with the same protection qualities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramjet Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 For the sake of the exercise, do one in that Chrome Silver colour. The highly reflective one.

Snorkel Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Looks like the conclusion is: The Emira can wear any jacket it wants. It's just drop dead gorgeous. BTW, I'm also not a fan of white, but in this case... damn! 🤤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorkel Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hm, I think I like it better without the striping, but with the black "Lotus" letters. But that's just personal taste of course. Just stunning in red. Thing is: what an a**. 🥳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramjet Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Ok. Let’s stop beating @glen8 up for different colours. @glen8 your mission; should you choose to accept it, is to produce a version of the Emira in every colour in the Photoshop palette. You have 24 hours. Cue burning cassette tape, exploding CD, melting iPod, exploding sunnies. Take your pick. 2 Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits.
