Factory collection yesterday, as others have said well worth it… Scott is a legend as always, and he and Sam make the experience so good. Car is epic so far, so happy with my spec. More details to come, but just to say the wait is worth it…

It was great meeting fellow collectors yesterday, agree Scott is a legend, a fantastic ambassador for Lotus and made the occasion so special along with Sam. Again as I said yesterday your plate is mint - those who know, know!
Enjoy your beauty

Few more miles now - but not keeping up with some on here !!
Overhead shot is cool....
My worries of it being too big, or not involving enough - all gone. It shrinks around you - still has the ‘Becker’ points, so view out is much the same as the s2 Exige - just a little wider

Took it down a challenging road near me - the touring suspension is witchcraft - badly surfaced with camber all over the place, it just took it all in its stride, where actually the exige is a little ‘nervous’.

Of course it’s not as raw an experience, and it can be very refined when pootling about, but it is still a Lotus, and still has that feel. I am really impressed so far…

Ohh and it looks Epic !

I just noticed, you were able to do LBP and black lettering, from factory? Has this always been offered? I thought people on here were having to order their own extra set of black letters and do the replacement themselves.
It’s not offered by the factory.. it was a post pdi install, I was very lucky to get it for collection

i think body colour roof is more gentle on the eye and maybe a more classic look.

UBP just makes the car look far more aggressive in my opinion.

Love both though esp in Hethel and Seneca 👌

UBP looks good from the front, but doesn't work from rear (3/4 view especially) to my eyes.... I wavered for a while and went LBP only with a view to wrap if needed - but now I won't. Love the way this thing looks
