Evora Picture & Video Thread

[tim_marra 390]

Over on LotusTalk there is someone making carbon 'sail panels', although they don't have the centreline herringbone feature.

[Bravo73 1,149]

There are. (Hkfever & Win-Ace both do).

But the weaves won’t match between the 3 items. Which, arguably, would look worse.

Strangely enough I was thinking about getting a carbon tailgate

 

and painting it to match the car.

THAT - indeed - would be a brave move in the best sense of British Understatement!

I think the tailgate would look much better fully painted or at least "half-painted" like the "007-Evora 410" one-off:

Agreed. Think this is the problem re matching the lines over the sail panel.

This has been covered many times before. 

Although it is technically possible, in practice, it is too difficult (ie expensive) to get the carbon weaves to match between the roof, the intermediate panel and the bootlid. Hence the plastic panel. 

Even if it not match the Line I think it will looks better to get it full carbon un place of this plastic parts not matching with the other carbon parts

I bought that for my kids at Xmas a few years ago. The rear wing and both mirrors had snapped off by lunchtime. It’s safer left in its box!

The lens flare is for reals... no Photoshop here.

[Alfa2Evora 675]

......and a bit more 'no-Photoshop' lens flare from me.

Whilst we're on the subject of sparkling Evoras, this is one of the photos Russell Gibbons of Lotus Motorsport sent to me when mine was approaching completion. He only used his mobile phone. Apologies if I have posted it before.

I tried to get carbon fiber in place of the small black part of the 400 wing but Lotus said it wasn’t technically feasible.  I went with black wing part, carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber rear diffuser cover (saves a lot of weight) and carbon fiber hood panel.  I was concerned about black and carbon fiber conflicting.  But they wind up looking great together in this pattern.

Spent some time detailing last weekend.

Awesome Evora mate.

Must be a great mix with the Exige S1 in your stable as well! 

[domguy 106]

Both lots of fun to drive, but if i had to pick I think the s1 exige would just have the edge.

[RobinS007 44]

My Evora has been getting some serious TLC at CMC in Edinburgh...new clutch, re-conded compressor, service, MOT and a new 2ubular exhaust!!  

[pete757 158]

Lovely colour!  Black wheels really suit that. 

Are you fitting a full 2ubular system by any chance? Or just the backbox?

 

[C8RKH 5,301 2 Vehicles]

Saw your car undressed, naked and in bits last Tuesday when I dropped off my VX at Craigs.

She was looking a bit sorry for herself but after getting dressed she does look super again.

[RobinS007 44]

Yeah, the dark wheels suit the colour of he car...definitely wouldn’t work as well with shiny silver alloys.  Just the back 2ubular back box for now, I’m led to believe from Craig it sounds epic especially on the overrun, but not actually picked the car up yet!!

Haha...I’ve seen another car getting a clutch done and it’s a fair strip down right enough!!  I’m led to believe it will feel like a new car!!

The natural progression should be from my Sports Racer to a 400, but the GT is the true evolution in style. The 400 is a good machine but when Lotus use GT styling for the new 410 and the aftermarket is buzzing with GT bumpers for the S1 and 400 you know the 400 styling was more Audi/Lamborghini than Lotus..... I’ll get my coat
