Roof color options now?

Did I miss the memo on this? Are there roof color options available from the factory now? Lotus of Naples just posted a Mist White with Red roof and mirrors. And a Hethel yellow with Racing Green roof and mirrors. Not sure either is my cuppa but interesting nonetheless. Wasn’t able to link the video so here are some screen caps.

Red car silver or charcoal grey roof.

I like the upper black pack on nimbus grey and Hethel yellow cars, but these new colour combinations look like “cut and shut” jobs!

In my opinion, they’re all gopping.

For some reason I think the metallic racing green with a silver roof might not be so bad...

 

[grezex]

All combos of darker lower colors with upper silver reminds me of the Lucid Air.
Maybe they can do the Tesla roadster Elise thing, Lucid Roadster Emira

The tour guide said the different roof colour cars were a direct request from the USA importer/dealer.

Cue the 'off color' jokes......

I think this is why the blue one looks acceptable

Hmmm........

Wonder if they are destined for a government fleet of some sort, like a few fancy police cars.

Think you could outrun your city’s parking attendants? Think again!

just spotted this one in San Diego's inventory. A bit better, but.....still not my cuppa I think.

None of these different roof colours work in my opinion.

A proper carbon fibre roof might work, but thats about it for me. Not that I want to spend the amount of money it would cost to achieve it

First one I've seen that looks half decent.

Rumor has it that Lotus may also be introducing patriotic theme colors. A media leak shows 2 initial variations. Yeah Baby View attachment 85571View attachment 85572

Big fat Gemini watermarks on those. I'm 90% sure they won't look remotely like this if they do come

I feel that people doesn't like the new "Racing Line SE" version that forces different color mirror cap.
The mirror cap feels "out-of-place" and doesn't fit well with the car, so people don't order the racing line.

Because of low order, they are trying to experiment with different roof color to fit the mirror cap, but t just doesn't work...

Honestly it could work on a pure track car with vinyl, here is a AI version that looks sick IMO:

Gemini watermarks what??? Word is out that these new paint schemes will be revealed in the upcoming Austin Powers sequel "No time to Shag".

The lighter color roof has a purpose.

On the racing line you can order it without the mirror caps. THeres an option for only the hand striping.

Looks like the first buyer! Are you here?
