So the word is Lotus will make the options on the wheel available for V6 manual - read that somewhere and hope it's true. But that still leaves the question why a little strip of tanned leather costs an extra £400?? It's otherwise exactly the same as the black leather wheel included in the base FE price.

Confused about steering wheel options

Completely agree, I can't make sense of it either.
I can understand perhaps the additional £400 if you're going from the standard leather to the alcantara with the coloured band, but to simply add a coloured band and stitching onto the normal leather wheel for £400 is insane.

My thoughts exactly
Just go for the black leather steering wheel and use whatever color tape you like as there is no problem that duct-tape can't solve

Me neither but duct tape, a few cable ties and a Leatherman can sort most minor ills! Of course once it's into the dark arts of electronics and engine mgmt we are all snookered.
My dealer has a local trimmer who will do the coloured stitching and centre marker for £170. So I’ll probably go for black and have it done later.
Lotus must be taking a lesson from Porsche on options pricing

I assume the local trimmer won't be able to 100% colour match to the leather colour (in my case Grey)? Won't be the end of the world, and definitely not worth £400 in itself.My dealer has a local trimmer who will do the coloured stitching and centre marker for £170.

I'll probably go down that route too with Jamie's contact.
Apparently you've never spent any time on the Porsche configurator....
