No (or at least not yet). They've got enough scheduling and supplier headaches plus customer comms challenges without opening up the possibility of people being able to change their spec to try and reduce their delay. It's also not a "simple" option, as it's not as straightforward as silver wheel = later and black wheel = sooner.

Understood. I'll sit back, be patient, and let the process play out. Thank you for the insights as always Tom.

The privacy glass actually looks quite nice with a black pack!

Clever of Lotus to use RGB multi-colour lighting to give the cars some wow factor.

I've added Privacy back on to my order. I've had it on every car since 2006 if available.
There really isn't much in it and the decision is based on which would I regret more.
Not getting and wishing I had or getting it and wishing I hadn't.
As it's the former. Decision made.

I dont understand why folk just wouldn't add it afterwords and with zero risk of feeling disappointed

Doesn't that move you back in queue or you not locked in yet?

I agree with you that you can add tint but not remove it if its baked into the glass itself.

How the tint will hold up to the heat is an unknown though. And some people don't like the white borders that tint creates when installed over those little dotted edges around the glass.

Spec locks on Thursday.
I've also changed callipers from silver to black.
FYI, I4 DCT, Shadow Grey with Black Pack, Black alcantara with red stitching for interior and steering wheel. Nov for Dec (unless there's more delay)

Exactly this. I don't trust aftermarket tint film to hold up well above the engine heat. I've heard R8 owners do it without any issues, but I'd rather have it from the factory for free then I can just ceramic tint match my front windows after delivery.

Will defo look better with front windows tinted as well

Love it, another Shadow Grey fan!

I was considering removing privacy glass from my spec to make the cabin a bit brigter, but found out I can't without a significant (~6 month) delay so I've left it. Probably a good thing anyway - I'm not unhappy with it.

Great video!

@lotuscars on TikTok is dribbling out a few clips now.

Nice little vid of Nimbus with black back in the rain in a park somewhere, which highlights the difference in colour without sun or artificial lighting.

Best colour available %

Absolutely Love this look. I have Nimbus, backpack, privacy glass, black alcantara interior, black wheels and black calipers and I believe it will look absolutely mental...
