Special thanks to Steve Gibson for the photoshopping.

Well done! I really dig the aero bits that were added.

I love all the gold pinstripe work

That red/gold looks like Ironman!

Haha, maybe we'll see him drive one in the next movie!

Has anyone already tried a JPS livery?

I would love to see a well executed JPS livery on the Emira - it could look as good as this...

Stripes work on some cars. Brock transformed the Shelby Mustang with blue stripes on white cars.

Some look good on the Elige. The Evora. But if ever there was a Lotus that cried "don't effing put stripes on me" it is the Emira.

I agree. The Emira has such an organic flowing design that putting hard straight lines on it doesn't fit its character.

From a decal perspective, the only thing that will work is shaped non-linear decals like on the Emira GT4.

See @dgrace 's post above for a rebuttal of your argument.

Oh I dunno, the original Ford GT40 was pretty swoopy but also looked great with stripes! To each their own.

Here's what I'm planning for mine once it finally arrives:

I am getting magma red with tan interior & silver wheels. Really love the idea. Much better than black pack!!!

Hmm that actually does look quite good! Do you have a similar render of the back?

Here's an Emira - Ukraine edition

They work on the 488 pista which has a similar shape

I’m not planning on it, but anyone have any view on stripes they think would look good on the Seneca blue? Would be curious to see what others had in mind? Personally I think the other colours are better suited (red, yellow), but I’d like to be proven wrong.

Of course! (you can also download the tool and make your own - the link's in my signature)

Needs a white circle #7 racing livery on the side. 7 for the billiards ball, of course.
