Black Pack With Body Colour Roof?

[Doofus]

At the moment, I'm rather taken with Evora 400s in light (or bright) colours. I like the sills from the Black Pack, but I think I prefer a body-coloured roof.

Has anybody got such a thing? I've Googled for pictures, but not found a lot.

If you are ordering new, then yes, you can have what you want
If second hand, you might be better off buying a non Black pack car and having the sills wrapped and mirror caps painted.

By default, the black pack was mirrors, sills and roof.

Sorry, I was hoping for some pictures

I know I can order what I want from the factory, but if I don't know what it looks like, I don't know what Ill get

I can’t personally think of any 400s which have a ‘half black pack’.

However, there are a few of the original Evoras where the owners have only done the sills and mirrors. If you Plough through this thread, you’ll find plenty of Evora variations:

Thank you. I Googled for images, but wasn't getting much that hit my search terms.

You see, I think that looks better than the black roof. A bit Aston Zagato, maybe, but that's no bad thing IMO.

I like the double bubble style, and I think it's hidden a bit in black.


Whats the name of the panel behind the roof ahead of the tailgate? I'd consider painting that too

Ironically, that is the aftermarket name for the part. Lotus themselves call it a ‘Ventilation Panel, engine bay’ (part no 2):

Yes (to all).

The ‘410/430’ tailgate can be fitted to any generation Evora. From Lotus, it will cost you £5k+. The aftermarket (GRP) version is £1.5k.

(FWIW, I’ve got one fitted to my 2012 Evora S).

Five grand? Blimey! Hopefully Exclusive will be more freindly on my wallet

I’d order without the black pack. Far cheaper to get the parts wrapped after purchase. Black pack rediculously expensive for painting some bits a different colour.

[Doofus]

That's what I'm beginning to think.

That (grp) engine cover is €599 http://komo-tec.com/Shop/Evora-400/Exterieur/GFK-M...

[Doofus]

Is that the whole tailgate or just a window replacement?

TBH, I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, as I'm not looking to place an order for another month or two, and it might not be an Evora even then.

That is just the louvres (to replace the glass).
