1. Handbrake on
Jack up the car carefully as per
lotus handbook instructions and
support on four axle stands
safely. Caution vehicle very rear
weight heavy.
We find it is better to jack up
with a low jack and 40mm spacer
under the rear wishbones, then
support the rear wheels with steel
ramps.
2. Unbolt the OEM ear diffuser to allow
access to the Rear upper diffuser
surround trim bolts and rivets.
3. Unbolt and remove this centre
diffuser hanging bracket
4. Now unbolt the one lower bolt each
side and the 5 upper bolts and
carefully drill out the upper diffuser
surround fixing rivets. Also remove
any parking sensors if fitted, these
cannot be refitted to our Reverie
part (unless you do your own
custom modification).

5. Rear OEM diffuser surround
shown off the car
6. Existing Lotus fixing holes shown
at top where the new M6 threaded
anchor nuts have to be fitted.
7. Now you need to fit the supplied
M6 anchor nuts where the original
top 5 bolt holes were. Drill counter
sunk rivet holes each side and fit the
anchor nuts on the back of the
fibreglass using 2.4mm c/sunk rivets
supplied.
8. M6 bolts and washers shown in
position on car at top loose ready to
slide on new rear diffuser surround
panel
9. Rear diffuser surround shown with
top slots to slide onto upper 5 off M6
washers/bolts. Once in position
tighten bolts fully, very difficult to
get at! You will likely need to mark
positions of the required slots and
put them in using a dremel to the
Carbon Fibre part supplied.

UV-PROTECTION
Please Note Epoxy Pre-preg products are not UV stable. Texallium products are particularly liable and can yellow in only 2 –6 weeks.
The epoxy resin will ‘yellow’ with prolonged exposure to UV radiation and material strength properties will slowly deteriorate. We
recommend exterior products or those exposed to constant UV are either regularly treated with UV polish or screens such as Armour-all
or 606 protect ant or colour painted or at least Lacquered. We use predominately 2K car lacquers of medium solids, the DBS range has
been found very suitable, although people have had equally good results with Urethanes varnishes and epoxy clear coats.
The surface should be sanded with 180, 240 then 320 grit and a cleaning solvent used to remove grease or dirt prior to paint
application. Several coats may be required (normally 3 to 4 light coats) to avoid pin-holing, common with painting composite products.
Pin holes may be dubbed in carefully with a brush, then wet flatted for a final application of 3 thin coats.
Let air dry only, you may stove the paint at 70’c once fully air dried.
