First Edition Dash Badge

Marmite badge.

Why didn't they fit it in the lower section? Would have looked loads better.

Looking forward to aftermarket options. Was on a production Dark Verdant with tan leather. Beautiful car.

Although I prefer my spec (minus the black wheels)…

Don’t mind the badging, looks pretty good but I can understand why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Hmmm
This is the forums fault for complaining about lack of an interior FE badge on manual cars 😅
Sure it looks OK... But somewhere a little less prominent may have been nice 🤷

Thanks, it's good to have a clear picture of it. Looks OK but the placement won't be to everyone's taste. The Evora Launch Edition had an Evora logo on the lower part of the passenger dash:

Totally agree. The placement is a little odd!

 

[James DG]

Not everyone’s cup of Rosie Lee I’m sure, but it looks OK in the flesh.

I wonder if they'll have that on the V6 Auto and i4 FEs as well. Early prototypes suggested it would be on the selector:

We can't say that Lotus isn't listening!

After all the whining on here:
* The Lotus badge and yellow calipers are the same colour
* The KEF audio got a power upgrade after comments that it was a little quiet
* The engine bay water cap is black and not blue
* We wanted a special badge to designate First Edition, so now we have a first edition badge...

and now we whine some more about where it is, or that its not metal or ...

Yeah, or the beveled edge just below where they put it. I'm also disappointed it doesn't have a Union Jack on it. I can somewhat understand not having it on the outside badge possibly due to space restrictions, but on the inside? The outer edge should also match the look of the outside trim around the shift lever.

While I am not getting an F/E so does not effect my car, I am not a huge fan of the placement.

The more important thing is that Lotus is listening to customer / journalists feedback. The calliper colour and KEF being a huge one. I have a feeling that tweaks to the suspension/gearbox happened as well. When you see companies doing these things does show their commitment to the product, happy to see it.

This is not a problem.

Any other pics of the interior??

 

[Eagle7]

Maybe something a little fancier? Just for a few ideas.

It may actually affect all buyers as it could be a placeholder for a badge of some sort if the dash is moulded to accept such badging whether you purchase a FE or base model. Maybe Lotus could just deliver the badge in a nice envelope and the purchaser could either stick it or not. Instant customization!

I'm going to put in a custom "M" badge, or maybe Type R?
