Build Code Drop

[TXEMIRA]

We have a few offices in Nottinghamshire (Mansfield/Blidworth)If we do go for the same spec, be sure to flash me whenever we meet on the road .

Yes TXEMIRA, a lot of people think red and red doesn't work, but I'm not so sure. i just wish they had white leather or even cream

That Ice Grey though…

But it may end up Red.

Or Yellow...

True. but need to see it for real. Grey reminds me of really cool BMWs that were let down by grey interiors!

Hahaha hilarious right?

I think most of us started out with the Seneca… Then we all spec’d out second jobs and bigger garages to store our 3 favorite Emira builds!

I agree. I’d love to see a cream interior choice.

Ok, stupid question… I have a build code from when I placed my initial deposit in July. I’ve not heard anything from my dealer since then, but from this forum I learned that back in October the US configurator was “updated”. However, I’ve not been able to use the configurator because I can’t access it for some reason. I reached out to lotus via the chat and was supposed to get a call from them. That never happened. So I have 3 questions.

1. Can any of my US brethren access the enhanced configurator, and if so, what is the link?
2. Does my original build code attached to my first deposit work in the new configurator?
3. Can I make changes to my build under my existing build code and have those changes (presumably a more granular specification—not just color inside and outside, wheels and calipers) saved for future reference?

I have found the radio silence from my dealer really annoying, and now it seems my dealer is not on the roadshow list, yet I can’t attend events at other dealers because my deposit is not with them. It’s exasperating! LOTUS USA, PLEASE HELP!!!! Start communicating with those of us who placed our deposits and have since been left out in the cold.

Incidentally, I love the idea behind thi thread. Nicely done, @TXEMIRA.

That’s the link. The old code will work but you’d still have to do some changes to the configuration due to the changes on the configurator.

I’m sure there is someone who can help even more on here. Maybe even another actual dealer.

Thanks so much! I’ll give it a try.

I chose Nimbus Grey with the diamond cut wheels when I made the second payment but as time goes on, my preference is now this:

8eKpco2Q

Ditto. Lots of people started with Nimbus and moved to “Green”!

I think the VG is a great choice. Looks black in shade and reveals a green glow in the sun. It’s like it says, “Surprise!” Prone to showing swirls, I bet, so take care. But it will look great, I’m sure.

The video from Galpin Lotus really shows off the metallic fleck in the Shadow Grey (and how to do a California-style promo video!)

Nice video. Really impressive to see the Emira alongside so many other models to showcase the evolution. I’ve always loved that M100 Elan. Wish they had a better interior since the styling is timeless, that Isuzu engine is so sweet, and the handling is unbelievable. Still on my list of wannabes for my garage!

 

[TomE]

Loved my M100 Elan, wish I'd never sold it. It was the only Lotus my wife drove and also misses. She was still driving it when 8.5 months pregnant - no chance of that in the Elise or Exige! Maybe one day we'll pick up another.

I would be tempted by the green if it was that light but samples seem almost black. Need to see real colours on real cars!!

 

[TXEMIRA]

Anyone dropping their codes in the updated configurator today to see the differences?

The new configurator looks worse to me. the images of the car looks now like theyre captured in a dark room.

Try this out if you’d like Verdant with a bit of pizzazz!
