Having done some more forum trawling I can now see a few new details on customer cars that would have changed my spec. Now locked in. Don't wish to risk delaying my car further. Anyone else with similar frustrations?
FWIW the key issues I have with latest changes (all of which on the face of it are the right moves by Lotus...just annoying these were not communicated so we could make more informed final spec choices)
1. Change of calliper yellow to match logo yellow - it was precisely because of this mismatch (still evident on the configurator) that I went with red instead
2. Change of leather steering wheel finishing - the configurator still shows a plain smooth finish, the reality seen in actual customer delivery cars is perforated and looks much classier and grippier - I went for fake suede because of the plain leather design we had all been seeing up till now.
3. New interior first edition badge - I would at a minimum reposition this, or enjoy the option to delete without impacting the leather fascia
Edited to add: email sent to Lotus Customer Care...will update on reply when received.
