Red or Yellow Calipers?

[Balboa]

Hello - I just placed my deposit yesterday.

Planning on Seneca Blue w Upper Black Pack w Ice Grey Leather Interior and Diamond Cut Rims. But I'm torn on brake caliper color. Initially I liked the yellow but in some photos I'm noticing the yellow on the Lotus Centercap is a different shade than the yellow of the brake caliper - and it's kinda bothering me. (Has anyone else noticed this??) Would love to hear others' thoughts and color/caliper preferences. To me it's definitely down to yellow or red as both will pop nicely against the blue.

I was thinking the exact same spec but when I saw the yellow calipers in the metal I was also put off by the clash in yellows so now thinking red. My wife and dad who were with me felt the same too.

Seneca Blue with red calipers and black wheels is going to look very like this Evora. Stunning to my eyes, and probably the combination I'll be going for.

Senica blue with ice grey interior has to have the silver callipers for me.

Red callipers = red stitching
Yellow callipers = yellow stitching
Black callipers = grey stitching

Red leather (Brave)
Tan leather (Brave)

I know it’s popular but the yellow car option just doesn’t do it for me .

(All personal preference I suppose)

I’ve played it safe and gone for the launch car colour scheme.

I'm going yellow with black pack/ red calipers and alcantara with red stitching

You can get a sticker to paste over the colored Lotus emblem if you want to. There may be non-colored wheel emblems available? I don't know. I wouldn't let that stop you from getting yellow calipers.

I'm going with red calipers with Seneca Blue. #SuperManColors

Im going to go with the black wheels and the red really stands out on it

Yea, same here. I like what I see in the configurator.

Ferrari matched the yellow nicely but I guess for 1/3 the price of a Ferrari 488 maybe I shouldn't complain...

So the slight clash in yellows doesn't bother you? (Sadly I have to order before I'll get a chance to see in person)

It's not an issue of color matching but branding. Color is an element of the Lotus logo and a different shade of yellow will be off-brand. They could have gone with a colorless version of the logo but chose not to for some reason. That would have been my choice.

I’ll be replacing my Lotus logo wheel centres with the black versions - problem solved

Red to go with the red leather …muhahahaha

I really like the Superman theme. If I was going with Seneca blue I would go with the red interior for sure, but probably I would choose yellow calipers to complete the look. Remember that the Superman shield has a red S on a yellow background.

I have changed my mind on caliper color. I am leaning black now with black gloss wheels. That leaves the front logo and the wheel logos to be the "pop" of color especially if I stay with the green. Furthermore I am hoping the white lettering on the black calipers will be very distinct since it will be the only non-dark thing on the side of the car besides the rotors and wheel center caps. That will also allow me to get the gold winter wheels. I can't imagine gold wheels with yellow calipers if the car isn't black.

@TomE what wheels are those? I’d much rather those in brushed silver on my Emira…

You’ll still have the body colour yellow and calipers in varying shades. Ferrari and Lamborghini match the yellow perfectly. First world problems I tell ya

I am speccing Hethel Yellow, so going with black calipers with black center caps (on the Silver Wheels) and black front emblem.

Yellow is such a strong color that it's best to just have the body in that color and nothing else.

Definitely share where you get those please!

Me too, same as on my Evora.

Any colour calipers should go with the black logo.
