Thanks for this!

Incidentally, it's great to have the car sitting in front of a "reference colour", by which I mean that Lotus marketing graphics yellow in the background, which I would guess is the same as this colour on their website:

This makes it easier to "colour-calibrate" any Hethel Yellow photos from now on. That being said, the colour balance in your photo above looks pretty darn accurate!

Yes, I think it is. A nice deep, rich, warm yellow, lovely. A little too extrovert for me but a cracker.

@as7920 Good grief that is a gorgeous color. Why tease me like this.

Here are all my Hethel Yellow pictures from yesterday. Enjoy!

And with some sort of reddish sideshow

That slim line of yellow looking out of the windscreen to those two peaks of yellow over the wheels

And the view looking back

Even the mirrors are beautifully sculpted. What a work of art.

Indeed they look wonderful. I only wish they came with blind spot warning lights!

Is that a chunk missing out of the right hand edge of the mirror? Indicator repeater missing?

Better un-follow this thread, more incoming!

No, that part of the mirror housing has a recessed inset which is where the side lighting is.

When I see pics like this, this confirms that the "hood line issue" is a giant non-issue.

really!

I'd say 90pct of heated debates in here are giant non-issues as you point out.

I'm actually pretty OCD and nit-picky, but some of the stuff on here is ridiculous, even for me.

I learned a long, long time ago - there's no such thing as a perfect car.

I've ridden in a Ferrari F40 once, (my childhood dream car), and the inside has exposed glue bits and misaligned panels. On the outside, there are tons of panel gaps everywhere. Do I care? Not really. Because it's a freaking F40.

I think what people want and expect these days are Lexus level build quality on all new performance cars, but with the specific performance, handling, and looks of exotic brands.

That's a tall order.

Great pictures thank you.
Looks like my exact spec. So happy
Now we just wait till it gets here

No need for that. When they see and hear you coming they will move out your way

And people weren't even happy with the LFA when it came out. Look at it now!

Not the truckies and bogans unfortunately!

A few pics from Goodwood today in the afternoon sun (mostly), shows again how much difference shade and sunshine makes. Looked great..

Good to meet you @TomE
