The stripes you see above the front splitter and on the door and the mustache on the rear are the only decals (not including the 260 logos).

What you see on the roof, the mohawk, front panels, wing, side scoops are all exposed carbon fiber of the actual part itself. Looking at the roof and the rear hatch from underneath also shows raw carbon fiber in addition to the interior pieces.

The seats for instance are done in house and are so complicated they have inhibited production up to this point. They are being hand made and are very time consuming. I don't know if all the other carbon fiber is being done in house at Hethel, but if so - this is quite an undertaking for Lotus. There seems to be a lot of time put into these cars.
