Hethel Yellow Lotus Emira Photo Thread

The other thing with alcantara is deciding which way you want the stripes to go! This is a peak inside my Yaris, first time I've had alcantara seats and I'm a fan.

Cracking combo. If I was brave enough I’d go for this but mrs B would be less than impressed!

 

[Pav]

That does look very cool

Just keep in mind that the yellow calipers are a different yellow to the bodywork and again to the Lotus badge, so you would have three different yellows going on. For this reason I went for red calipers, but might change that to black.

Not sure why they cant have a black version of the badge. i have changed the badge on all my previous cars with aftermarket versions.

I’ll be getting black aftermarket nose and wheel badges for mine.

I've looked into this too, any recommendations on where to source them?

That's a good idea - any recommendations for sources in UK please Tom?

Not yet but I expect places like Eliseparts and Hangar111 will do them.

Hi , just thought I'd let you know , you can't order a alcantara steering wheel with coloured stitching , just black stitching !
You can choose coloured stitching if you order a auto . Crazy I know , but I've had email confirmation .
IL be sticking with leather and getting it re covered in alcantara and yellow stitching by a local guy . It will work out cheaper than the £400 anyway .

Now that is a thought. My Exige S RGB did come with a black/white nose badge as standard, and it does match quite well, especially against the car's (Aspen) White body colour.

I think the yellow with black pack and silver wheels is really a wonderful combination! It’s bold. Everyone’s head will turn, even those who aren’t car people. It’s just such a beautiful and striking design, and the yellow shows it off magnificently. It’s not for me anymore, but would have been 20 years ago. But for those who choose it……BRAVO!

Had my first viewing of the (Seneca Blue) Emira today, and what a fantastic looking car it was seeing one for the first time!

Very true with regards to the different shades of yellow, as evident by the photograph taken today - the colour sample, brake caliper, and Lotus badge are all different shades of yellow!


As such, even though my first choice of body colour is Hethel Yellow, the brakes and interior stitching will be red. Having had 5 fun cars from 3 different manufacturers in various shades of yellow, some being metallic/pearl and some solid, I think yellow will suit the Emira very well.

Not sure about the Upper Black Pack just yet. I prefer the cleaner look of the body colour roof, but will go for the lower black pack. Some more time needs to be spent on the configurator before making a final decision.

That’s exactly how I locked in my car .

 

[Lankan]

Looks fantastic.

Certainly helps to see how others have configured their cars.

I too have gone for red brake calipers, but am likely to go for the Alcantara interior with red stitching, and silver wheels. Had a good chat with the Head of Sales (Europe), and raised the point about the omission of matching stitching on the steering wheel (on V6 manual cars), and was assured that we will be able to add this if one expresses an interest when placing an order. I aim to do this, so will be gunning for red stitching and the 12 o'clock marker in red.

Love hearing this!
