I think the green is stunning, but I think black badges and centre caps would be a touch better

 

[NickR]

Not so confident with the green sample, not much to go on. However it has some blue tone to it.

This is a bit closer to the sample

I think I like it even more 😀

Thats looks a decent representation to me Nick. You've shown my exact spec and if the green comes out like that I'll be happy!

Certainly doesn't need the black pack. Would be the spec i would go for .... still haven't made up my mind with colours, I reckon i change once a week!

Agreed Nick, black pack doesn't add anything to a green Emira, in fact the tan interior looks better with the roof left green.

We know it's very similar to fire red, so this is an example in the sun next to the approx match i've tried to do

That looks stunning Nick, that’s what i’m going for now, and still can’t decide on diamond cut or black wheels.

See Above. I'm just wondering if diamond cut is getting old hat and gloss black is the new 'cool'

Just to add more confusion:

in my case , with the Nimbus, I am leaning more for black wheels.
My thought is (maybe totally wrong) based on distinguishing 2 black areas: one above the waist, and another one under the knee, so to speak.
I think, the black wheels give continuity to the lower black pack from front to back if you look sideways: lower front lip, lower side sill, and lower back fender.
And the main body is the uniform contrast (grey silverish? in my case) in the middle.
Also depends if you want to accentuate the classic (silver) or sporty look (black).

Maybe in darker colors I would lean towers silver wheels and no black pack, and bright colors other way around.

Back to square one: both options look great, depends on each one taste the final choice.

To tell you the truth, I struggle with the decision more than when I got divorced.

Looks good, any chance of same image with diamond cut wheels and black seats

From an aesthetic point of view (mine, no one else's), I believe lighter-colored cars with an upper black pack would look better with dark wheels in order to accentuate the side profile. Darker color cars like the Verdant Green and Shadow Grey can work really well with the silver or diamond-cut wheels.

My only worry now is the 'real' tone/colour of the silver wheels. I suggested to the Lotus team attending the Silverstone event that they needed some actual samples of the black gloss and silver wheels.

using your colour sample, i've made an approximate 'real' nimbus grey

If I went with red black pack would be a must for me - love how this combo looks, especially with the silver wheels. 🤩

Agree, it looks great. But haven't you just invented a Ferrari?

I’ve just got to say @NickR, your renderings look fantastic. I’ve copied each one to my Aura frame, and when they pop up my wife chimes in with something like, “ooooo, I really like that one”. I think I’m close to committing to FE magma red, forged silver wheels, tan interior, no black pack, silver lotus badging, titanium tail pipe, V6 auto.

 

[TXEMIRA]

silver lotus badging

Would this be aftermarket? Just making sure I didn’t miss a configuration option. Thanks!

I had it confirmed today that if you do not choose the Black Pack, then the Lotus rear badge and exhaust tips will not be finished in black.
