			===Door Scuff Plates===

			The early cars also suffer from premature wear on the sills by the door where the material scuffs easily due to people getting into or out of the car. This can be solved by either installing scuff plates (as per the later cars) or inserting material like a kevlar weave section into the sill trim. This will solve the issue.

			===Cracked cosmetic roof panel===

			Although rare the cosmetic roof panel fixings can expand slightly with heat, leading to the boot clipping the panel when the boot is opened. Over time this can lead to the panel cracking.<ref>[http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=213&t=1328746&mid=116749&nmt=Odd+boot+opening+issue PistonHeads > Gassing Station > Lotus > Evora > Odd boot opening issue]</ref>

			The issue is reported as being recognised by Lotus and is resolved by replacing the cosmetic roof panel and fixings.
