...and an idea for Nimbus Grey...
I've thought about doing Scuderia-style tapered stripes on mine, but don't have the photoshop skills to see what they might look like on an Emira.
I'll probably experiment with some vinyl when I get my car, and if it doesn't look as good as it does in my head I'll just peel them off to keep it clean and classy.

The Turbo Esprit has been my all time design favorite since the mid eighties and I really loved the straight pinstripes and the turbo esprit decal - it was totally iconic. I just got the VIN for my Emira for New York delivery early March. I'm thinking what the hell, why not get stripes and a decal put on immediately along with the PPF. I'm getting green verdant and I'm thinking this is the modern interpretation of the Turbo Esprit graphics with strips that follow the curve of the car, what do you guys think? (the letters will also be in gold like the stripe, not yellow) Or should I give up on my possibly cheesy teenage sensibilities and just leave it as is...

I really like the subtle Lotus, just thinking I might want more...
Where can you get lettering like that "lotus"??
Here it is as a pdf file. You can scale it up or down to whatever size you want it to be, and it won't lose resolution.
That’s really nice of you to share thank you
You can have a print shop put together something from these 3. They're all vector PDF files so they'll scale up or down to any size you want.
One further picture
I purchased a 3" alloy billet from Amazon link here https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B81TJ7W9?psc=1... cost £22.22. You only need the black alloy cap. I then filed the top of the old plastic cap to get it level, and then used araldite glue to fix it inside the new cap. There was a slight gap so used some self adhesive weather foam strip (12mm x 6mm) around the old cap before glueing in place - perfect fit! I then found a self-adhesive decal which I applied from this link https://paintmodz.co.uk/.../washer-logo-circular-gel... cost c£4 so cost less than £30 all in. I drilled a small hole in the centre of the cap to avoid a vacuum arising during use. Very pleased with the outcome. I hope this helps.
Brilliant! Thank you!!
I absolutely love that design and the one further down where it tapers.
It isn't too late for me to make some alterations and I would like to know peoples thoughts on how I could do this on a yellow car with a black roof?
I thought maybe a matt dark grey as a contrast with the lines down the side. My colour will be the same as this yellow:
All views would be welcome as I only have a week or two to decide.
