new configuration is really great! well done Lotus...
sometimes it's hard to be the early bird...later joiners will have more colours, better config, real car videos in all colors etc.

now it's time to make all colors available for FE i4 as well

thanks everyone for your help in getting my choice posted- bit of a dimmo when it comes to the intricacies of the computer

Good news! After carefully considering every option on the configurator today, I've narrowed my choices down to one of six colours!

 

[scoates]

So I've been playing around with the video link you can get with right-clicking and copying video address and noticed the configurations are all in the URL and found that by changing them it feels a lot quicker than changing it all in the menus at the side. Every time I tried to get the direct video of my configuration it only showed the blue car so I had to try this to change all the details.

PCK-BLACK-LOWER_PNT-M5-01_WAT-FORGED-ULW-V-SPOKE-DC_CAL-SILVER is what came up for the "default" configuration, Seneca Blue, lower black pack, diamond cut wheels and silver calipers.

If you just delete the "-LOWER" then it instantly loads the full black pack, for wheels change "DC" to "SILVER" or "BLACK" and same for calipers "CAL-" then your colour.

For the paints:

M5-01 = Seneca
M5-02 = Magma
M5-03 = Shadow
M5-04 = Nimbus
M5-05 = Dark Verdant

I can't get Hethel though! Not sure where the code for that one lives. I'm sure some people better at this than me will have even more figured out!

Hethel Yellow is S2-01

I'd guess because it is a different kind of paint (M for metallic, S for... um... shiny?)

Great, thanks!

Me trying the variations using the @scoates method

Am-I the only who's anoyed the lower black pack does not include black tail pipes and rear badging?

Love the new configurator though, will surely help my decision.

the tailpipes i believe are titanium. so black fake inserts would be a sad day. sad most often in general but sadder on a sculpted exhaust

The silver and black exhaust tips are false. If you look at the car, like I did from the rear end you can see the actual exhaust tips and then the fake enlargers, which were black on the Seneca car and silver without the full black pack but they are false. They look better than other manufacturers and you really have to be at high level to see the original exhaust tips.

 

[TXEMIRA]

Anyone add a sound track to the video yet? Asking for a friend…

wow. that is good to know. hm. so what about those sort of titanium looking ones with the triangles in them shown by some people? what am i seeing there? and which version has that and does not? thank you

i remember taking a photo because someone asked me to when i viewed the car. Hope this helps. The exhaust tailpipe was attached to the wire mesh on the rear bumper.

It’s either silver on the base car or black on black pack. The pattern on both silver and black exhaust tips is the lotus symbol.

Can someone explain what’s going on with the lower plastic (side sills and rear) when you option the black pack on/off. Without the black pack it looks like it’s a gunmetal grey colour… but the spec says it should still be gloss black?

 

[christophermalex]

New configurator is great, but looks like they're not tipping their hand when it comes to any further development with the seats. Those that went to Hethel referenced seats being much more promising then the quite pedestrian versions shared thus far. Can anyone compare what they were seeing to what still look like relatively "pedestrian" seats on the configurator site?

It is temporary usually, then it goes to gloss black in either config.

 

[andrew6382]

I did!

 

[Pegasi]

Man, what an upgrade. I am still on Dark Verdant, but really like the gloss black wheels with black calipers now. Cheers to Lotus.

Nimbus is awesome!

 

[Ian C]

Loving playing with the config but am I the only one struggling with the fact that the price is always front and centre . making conversations with other half very difficult . Can't it be like a posh restaurant with only the bill payer having a menu with the price !!!
