Documentation from EPA also outlines both Manual and Automatic were tested.

Does anyone know if the yellow calipers are actually Hethel Yellow now? I know there was some discrepancy in the past.

That's a whole lot of potential fun in one place.

You're not the only one thinking that. Keep them safe.

I don't believe this changed.

They are not. They match the nose badge and wheel center caps. It’s a more “lemon-ey” yellow

They aren't HY. You can see the color combo on non-US customer cars already. I'm pretty sure they are the same yellow that is in the Lotus emblem.

JINX!

Well, at least they match what's right next to them. Perhaps it was that before they didn't match the badge either? I just remember reading about some color discrepancy getting resolved.

Initially the yellow calipers didn't match the shade of the center cap.
The caliper color has since been changed to color match.

 

[24EmiraUS]

Yeah

That color alludes me. In some light it looks amazing in others it looks like a fisher price matchbox toy color

So you have pictures with yellow calipers to show the color.
If what you say is true then I will change my calipers

I do not have photos. This is what I was told when I placed my order.

 

[DerTheDer]

Anyone have photos of the Lotus HQ in Detroit?

Unfortunately, I don’t have any pics.

But, I personally saw (2) Hethel Yellow Emira’s at my dealership over the weekend.

The “yellow“ calipers match the wheel center cap, not the body color.

Tnankfully, my Hethel Yellow Emira has black calipers.

That’s why I went with silver calipers and will be replacing the badges with the black ones.

The yellow calipers do match the center caps and nose badge but not the body color.

You can repaint your calipers to any color you want really, just expect about $800 to sandblast them, mask, and repaint.

A year ago when I bought my M3 the calipers were blue and I wanted them red to match the interior color. The dealer repainted them for free, as part of the purchase agreement. Idk if a Lotus dealership would do that (most likely not for free), but depending on the dealership it may be possible. Getting the "LOTUS" lettering right is what I'd be most concerned about, but BMW did a good job with mine.
