I’m cautiosly optimistic that the ride height has finally been fixed to match the original Shadow Grey prototype.

OMG is happening

Kentviking · Sep 3, 2022

wow...finally! Am loving the texture of the leather steering wheel too, but I went for fake suede for sporty feel.

James mentioned on another thread, the Lotus folks at Concours today said the newly-built car on display there is expected to settle slightly over the first few hundred miles, so wheel gap at delivery will reduce.

The leather wheel is looking pretty good. Should be nice and grippy with the perforated edging.

Yeah good to see what the final wheel looks like. Glad I chose that too. It's interesting to see how different the car looks depending on the camera. The car looks very dark in these pictures, but the skies are clear. It appears that the bright reflective surface is causing the camera to adjust for brightness by lowering the exposure to the point of making the car look almost black. This is the same dealership, same area? Clear skies like at the concours?

One thing I noticed when taking photos of the Seneca blue prototype is that a camera (no matter how good and even with a polarising filter) captures a whole lot of reflections that the human eye seems to filter out, especially when looking through glass.

So then, the Nimbus Grey car in Matt's apology video was NOT the first production customer car?

Yes my thoughts exactly! Glad I specced leather, though I still want deviated stitching. Looks great though.

Yeah, I'm betting it settles quite a bit actually. I run a very similar Eibach and Bilstein combo and mine settled ~3/4" at least after a couple weeks.

Also, despite all of the order mix-ups at Lotus right now, I actually find it quite fitting that a Dark Verdant customer should be the first to receive their car.
