Paint colors and other ideas

[EspritGuy]

Hi all,

I am very new to this forum and I am a big fan of this conversation here. I am from Austria and looking forward to meet the Emira here in real life and being officially able to order my own

How about a rendering in a retro-007-esprit turbo-style? (please!!!) I'm wondering if bronze or white (with or whithout some stripes...) would work on the Emira?

I really like the idea of green with yellow stripe or the JP black style you posted here earlier - some customization would be great in addition to the standard colors and would give the Emira additional uniqueness and special touch

Welcome to the group. Hope your Emira dreams come true.

The Alternate Configurator thread was getting a bit messy with things other than the FE configurator options, so I'm starting this thread for everything else. This will be for any color, paint or theme idea that's not part of the FE configurator. This is where we can guess at what the other 7 colors will be when Lotus reveals the full color palette. I think we can safely assume 2 of those will be black and white, but the other 5 are open for speculation.

To start it off, here's some theme ideas I've been working on.

This uses JPS gold leaf as the striping color for the lower rocker panels, lower front of the car, and the stripe around the wheels.

Pearl white with red seats

I just want the striping on the lower rocker and the LOTUS lettering...Preferably in the yellow that matches the centercap....Where do I send my check???

The 488 pista uses the same style stripe https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ferrari/488-pista-2018-2020

How cool would the sill look in carbon fiber!

Hi all. Can someone please help render a seneca blue, no black pack, with all black wheels, black alcantra trim, yellow calipers,,,BUT... only with the top roof section in gloss black (not the cantrails/pillars).

The reason is that I am contemplating not going for the factory black pack, but instead having the option to get my own wrap done and thus having the flexibility to play with the overall look , a win win type outcome. I like the side profile of no black pack, but do like the top in black, hence my request. It may look naff once I see the render. Thank you in advance for your time/effort if possible.

Thanks Eagle7! Based on your images I may end up going for that in real life. It is how i had imagined, a bit like a pan roof effect. Much appreciated

Hi Eagle,

Would you mind doing a render for me please? I haven't found my spec in the threads so far =)

White paint
Full black pack
Grey leather
Black leather steering wheel with yellow dead ahead stripe

For the wheels could you do 2 versions:
- Black diamond cut wheels with black calipers
- Standard silver diamond cut wheels with yellow calipers

Thanks!

Much appreciated

Thanks Eagle! Thanks for helping me make the decision. I think the yellow calipers with the wheels look amazing.

That's lovely - quite a warm white, almost an ivory in that light. How does it look in a cool light that might make it more like "Lotus esprit submarine white"?!

The look of this car can vary so much depending on light angle and color it's amazing. The white I created is deliberately a warm white, so I'd have to create something with more blue in it, which I can do and probably will just for something to do lol. I've noticed the new Lotus colors tend towards the warm side of things though, which I personally like.

All these renders of cars in the wilderness got me thinking of animal colors. Tiger stripes? Giraffe spots?

Evija has that yellow & black dot deal.

Also 19 pinstripe choices on the configurator… Nineteen. 1 9…

Eagle is that metallic or pearl white?
Looks amazing.
I hope Lotus offers this white over flat white.
