2025 Models

[Lazerium]

To what extent do we think the 2025 models are afflicted with the known issues (mainly paint bubbling)?

For example, Would a known new build in a later colour (eg Tangelo orange, racing green) still be affected?

The prevailing belief is its the door material itself that is the issue, not the paint. The paint bubbling is just a symptom of the issue
Given that there has been no announcement that the doors themselves have been modified(not that Lotus usually do this) and that 2025 cars have seen this issue happen to them, I would say the issue persists and nothing much has changed at all.

Any thoughts on whether PPF would help? I had front half and doors done from new and I'm wondering if the bubbling is an interaction purely between the door material and the paint or whether the atmosphere also plays a part. No issues so far for me thankfully. However, I do keep my car garaged which could also be a factor.

No, it wouldn't. The issue is underneath the paint.

I shouldn't be the biggest issue in town, with rectification under warranty. Once fixed (after a suitable interval) it should stay fixed.

Unfortunately not the case. There have been a few(it really is a few) cases of doors that have been replaced, then having the issue too.

IIRC it was only the first 2500 cars (maybe fewer).
