Good question.
I was briefly thinking about it after I saw the Seneca in that post.

my personal opinion, not going to be easy to fit stripes in this color, maybe will lose the classy look. I am now thinking to get some subtle touches in calipers color, in my case yellow, to make it a little more sporty look, but not sure either.

Can we get an updated configurator for stripes from Lotus to play around days and nights, like when we had to choose the color a few years ago?

Great shots. The wheel gap on your car looks smaller than some that I've seen (which is very nice since I can't stand overly large wheel gaps on sports cars). Especially this one:

I wonder if that is just the angle? Did you do anything to reduce it?

The Evija configurator has a livery selector. The shape is close enough to generate some ideas.

Maybe settling a bit? It does look spot on!

Maybe he parked with the left front wheel in a ditch, so the right front is taking all the weight...

Must be the angle, it's stock.

I’m a big fan of grey on grey. Nimbus is a color that rides that line between classy and sporty. This is subtle, which keeps it classy.

Picked this one because the Porsche is also wearing a bit of Lotus yellow which really works here IMO.

now that you say this, I didn't realize, maybe it's because it's fully loaded on the shelf behind the seats and the trunk

That wheel gap is pretty standard, actually. That's what you see from a normal viewing angle without crawling around. Here's the car I test drove, looks the same to me. Certain colors may visually accentuate it?

Not to sidetrack this thread too much, but those fall 2022 US test drive cars may not have been representative. Remember most of the preproduction cars had threaded shock bodies. Here's a recent production car photo:

(Example, see this long-term test car, where Lotus was able to adjust the ride height of the car on request, indicating it has the preproduction threaded shocks: https://caffeineandmachine.com/cultofmachine/garage/cm-garage-our-lotus-emira/)

Gorgeous car, @Bilbao-Emira. Am I the only one that wished they offered the diamond cut wheels with the full silver perimeter? I love the style of them but I have issues with the dark perimeter sections. It's been one of the areas in which I remain conflicted.

2 minute mockup of what I wish I could spec for the wheels. I guess these are very similar to the silver but slight angular differences:

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s the same wheel.

Black, silver, diamond cut, all different finishes on the same wheel.

Here’s @Citizen ’s photo, and your mock.
