The great black roof dilemma...

[eclat2emira]

What extra labour? Lotus don’t use one piece welded body shells like Porsche that need masking off, separate painting stages and hand finishing.

The roof and side A pillars are separate painted panels that are screwed on after painting. No extra labour that I can see.

In that case I stand corrected!

I am still on the fence with color, but decided if I go with nimbus, it's getting black pack.

One of the things that had me leaning the same way was the thought of creating a "poor mans T.50"

Nimbus
Black pack
Diamond cut wheels
Red & Black Interior

Of course the Emira is better looking and you could have 40 - YES 40!!!! i4s for the price of a T.50.

Yep, I can see that too and think it probably varies with viewing angle. Having gone with Dark Verdant myself the black pack was not going to work bit I do love the unified aircraft canopy look it gives to the roof and glazing.

I have been close a few times to switching to Nimbus - it keeps calling out to me! If I did I'd be really torn on BP or no BP.

Could always wrap the roof & mirrors after delivery.. likely cheaper and you can then see both options
