Elise S2 - Stitched Lotus emblem on seats and door cards?

[LotusEater666]

My S2 (2003) is pretty standard but it does have black leather seats and black leather door cards. The Lotus emblem is stitched on the headrests and on the door cards which I've not seen on others. Was this standard or some kind of option? Cheers.

My 04-plate 111S has the logo's brilliantly embossed into the headrests on the standard leather seats but I don't have them on the door cards - my doors have a lightly-textured black leather outer finish and the inner card is a tasteful perforated and soft padded black leather.

Also, gotta love the cool Lotus logo embossed on the Stack tachometer, makes me feel so proud of the car every time I look at it!

Mel Broome up at Lotus Cars offers ahuge array of bits to personalise your car. One of my friend had the Lotus emblems in the headrests when he bought his new 111R, and also had the centre console re-trimmed in leather. Have a look at the Hangar 111 website, this has quite a few options available. If you want any done, you can drop off your seats with you local Lotus dealer and they'll send them up to Mel for retrimming.

Just to re-affirm rfoster's comments on Mel. I bought some 111S seats for my S1 that had been newly re-trimmed by him in carbon leather with Lotus green perforated leather inserts. The headrests also have the Lotus logo stitched in green. I also have matching sill trims and steering wheel. They look great.

its probably a custom job done for the owner by the factory trimshop..I have similar in my car...very good quality and VFM - you can have pretty much what you want
