The 13 Emira Colors

Thanks everyone for such a great supportive forum!
I have learnt so much over the past few months so I wanted to finally give back a little.

I know everyone is really keen to know what 13 colors will be available after the First Edition! I know I was.

Well it looks like they included them within the public configurator setting files. It literally took 2 minutes to find in a web browser for those that are tech literate.

Here goes:

First Edition - 6 colors:

Color Name	Paint Type
Seneca Blue	Metallic
Magma Red	Metallic
Shadow Grey	Metallic
Nimbus Grey	Metallic
Dark Verdent	Metallic
Hethel Yellow	Solid

Interestingly the additional colors are marked as V6 FE colors, but that can't be as we would have been told that they are available by now.

Base Edition additional 7 colors:

Color Name	Paint Type
Meridian Blue	Metallic	New color?
Atlantis Blue	Pearlescent	Existing Lotus color Basically the blue version of Dark Verdent
Cosmos Black	Metallic	Should be a nice deep black with silver speckle?
Osmium Silver	Metallic	This could be a silvery aqua blue! Real Osmium Metal
Vivid Red	Solid	Bright red seen at Hethel?
Zinc Grey	Solid	The gray Emiras recently seen at Hethel? Probably like nardo gray or a little bit like crayon? I call it undercoat gray.
Aspen White	Pearlescent	Existing Lotus color

Also for the interior, looking at the settings file it seems that there will be a black leather with yellow stripe and black leather with red stripe option. I think you can see the yellow stripe on black leather on a head rest in the configurator videos if you look very closely.

I bet this puts a rabbit in the hat for some of us! However the FE colors are really beautiful so you can't go wrong.

Happy Emira driving!

Could one of those kind folks on here with good contacts into Lotus ask whether front mudflaps will be available as an accessory? Something small yet slightly wider than the front tyre would be all that’s needed here.

The white car clearly shows that mudflaps would help tremendously. The lower side skirts and bottom edge of the doors get an absolute beating. The FE gloss black side skirts will look absolutely horrible without any protection in a few thousand miles as a daily driver!

I hope those side skirts are bolt on and not glued on. I can see everyone wanting to get them repainted unless they’re PPFd.

I bet some small spats could be made from some carbon sheet. Had something similar on my M2 Comp. Also have flaps on my current car but don't think they will work somehow

Not quite the look I had in mind!

I was thinking something small of moulded rubber that could scrape a speed hump if need be without cracking and breaking.

Thanks! They’re quite nice looking. A dealer fitted Lotus genuine accessory like this would be amazing.

Easy enough to make yourself. Don't mind doing some if it looks possible. Brother in law has a lazer cutter

Less than ideal, but if Lotus simply offered some body coloured little plastic capsto cover the holes, we're the plinth removed, would be a cheap fix.

Just spotted this solution raised on one of the US owner threads:

Front License Plate Bracket

I'm sure something similar could be designed and made in the UK?

If only the plinth was a dealer fit and so an alternative plinth could be supplied by the car owner.

Damn, that’s a brilliant idea. Looks like it’ll take a bit of a battering from front scrapes though.

And now for something completely different; Atlantis Blue. Starting to go down the list, one color at a time.

Wow! That looks very classy indeed

(EDIT: Needs red calipers though )

Looks very similar to nightfall blue they did on the Exige S2- really pops in the sunlight

Very sharp indeed. Love the new outdoor renders at "Chapman Corners" - nice touch.

Wow, stunning render.
I love a blue car, that might have been my exact spec if it was available at FE.

Super excited to see what you do with Osmium!

I'd never heard of Osmium before, but after looking at images of it on an internet search, it's a cool looking metal. Only problem is, it's highly reflective, as in mirror-like. That's not practical on a car, so I'm not sure how they're going to handle the reflectivity. I've chosen to soften it and give it more of a sheen instead of a mirror surface. It will be interesting to see what they decide to do with it. It also can have either a bluish tint to it, or a lunar grey/white tint. I like the bluish aspect so that's what I went with. It's also going to be heavily influenced by the environment around it. I may do some renders for different times of the day. These are early morning renders.
