snoboardr 130 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've posted these and others elsewhere on here, but just found there was an Evora-specific photo posing topic, so here's Dexter showing off his, errr, lack of reflections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ramjet 1,090 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Dave, Love the pic of your Evora against the building in the street. Great photo!

AnthonyBraham 5 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'll second that. The SR in orange looks really good, the black touches emphasize the car's curves so well. And with the Oyster interior it's perfect, I think. That'll be my next one, I say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aerobat 90 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've never seen mud flaps/ splash guards on a sports car before (at the rear of the front wheel arches). Is that a British thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBD 781 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 No, it's an Evora thing, to protect the uniquely shaped sides from stones.

snoboardr 130 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Very nice! A CPL would have really helped with those pics, getting rid of the windscreen reflections and bringing out the colour Indulge a person whose only camera is his iPhone - what's a CPL? I've not tried taking a huge number of photos of evil Dexter yet, but given the general lack of reflections from his bodywork I can see that having reflections from glass seem incongruous. Though, that said, perhaps they would highlight the non-reflecting nature of the rest of the car. Hmmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAWS 423 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Clear Polarising Lense Just like polarised lensed sunglasses it stops glare/reflections. You could take a photo through sunglasses too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,368 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Circular Polarising filter. In absence of one, polarising sunglasses do help!

bingoking 268 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 When will they make this one? I would have one but alas I don't think Lotus will ever produce one. Quote Join Lotus Enthusiasts Group Scotland here! and on Facebook Link to post Share on other sites
Frimley111R 28 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I wouldn't say never on the convertible. It seems a relatively low cost way to make a 'new' model. But then I am not sure what they are working on currently and with limited resources I doubt there are spare hands to do it atm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ByJoveByJingle 79 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi . . . new to the forum. Just thought I'd drop by and post some pics of the 2014 Evora S I ordered 2 months ago. I pick it up on Thursday, but I dropped by the Lotus dealer/agent and took some pictures. Hopefully I'll be able to get some better pictures in more interesting locations at some point . . . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moxie 101 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Welcome to the forum. Custom order in Isotope Green? Quote 1983 "Investor's Special Edition" Turbo Esprit (#43/50) | 2012 Evora S Link to post Share on other sites
ByJoveByJingle 79 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks for the welcome! It's actually Verde Ithaca . . . the Lamborghini color. I strongly considered Isotope Green when I was ordering--to the extent that I made a side by side chart of the few images I could find of the two colors. They are similar, but the Isotope is more yellowish I think. The Verde Ithaca really doesn't photograph well. None of the pictures capture the color as you see it.
