Same here. Need to decide in the next couple of days.

Jaw dropping

No bonnet gap at the front because the bonnet is partially open....

I don't think that's relevant. You would still see the rubber strip if it were present, the ones at Goodwood were quite thick. I suspect they are experimenting after receiving feedback.

Thank you for sharing this!!!

I chose verdant, but I am actually 95% probably changing back to this exact spec, which is what I had chosen on day 1 of my reservation a year ago. Called US customer service to change yesterday, never got an answer or call back. Gotta try again tomorrow. I am just over the DV being sooo dark and not really green. With the spec I chose, it is too dark and loses the excitement of the design of the car. I was thinking Nimbus, but I am leaning back towards Magma with full BP and black wheels.

Now I have to decide if I go with tan interior (as original spec) or go with Alcantara with a yellow stitch and yellow calipers? Here I am, back to square one, a while after "locking in" my spec. I figure my possible delivery in May '23 will get delayed anyway, so who cares at this point. Not like it's coming up to be built next week, so shouldn't change anything if you ask me.

I think the strip gets added after and what @TomE said is correct, it just gets tacked on.

It wouldn't have enough room, based on this photo. The cars with the strip (as shown below at Goodwood 2022) have a huge 1/4 inch gap. Big enough to stick a pinky finger through. That's not what is shown in the above Magma/BP photo at the factory.

I had a feeling you might be compelled to return back to Magma . Please let us know what customer service says. I wrote to them once and they said I have to reach out to my dealer. (My dealer told me no way I can change even just a few days of locking in my config). With the delays, who knows, maybe Lotus has changed their tune.

Asking again - where did you source this photo? Did you take it yourself? The filename says it's a screenshot.

We're trying to figure out the age of the photo.

Very similar to McLaren Volcano red. Gorgeous

I want this to be true more than anything, but I remember those cars from the test drives last week that had the "bad gap", and visitors were told that the cars were "production, but missing a few pieces", so...

Any further info on this? I'd love to see more photos if available.

I'm also curious what all those notes are on the car, and why the boot and bonnet are open outside the factory...

Apart from being LHD, looks like my spec.

Man if only the Exige 430 cup was available in the USA I would buy one. It is a really sweet ride.
