New Lotus Trim....

Iv just been to a dealer here in the UK and they have a black exige S with a different cream/black leather interior, so i asked about it and the guy gave me a new Lotus trim booklet- there are some really cool designs in it!
As my car is black, i would go for the lime green design, they also do the centre console and door panel inserts. (If you already have leather seats, he said it costs £800, and if not then you will be looking at £1500)
There is also a seat in here that looks exactly like the 240R seats (Black&Yellow)

All the dealers should have booklets for you to look at. I've been thinking of getting the blue trim for my Nightfall Blue baby.

Exactly, I wish some of the designs and color combos were available on cloth seats.

Yep, I'd get the design 1 seats if that was the case.

Most of these things can be done in cloth or alcantara as well.
Here are some pieces we recently ordered for a customer:

Wow Robert, they look great. How much are the seats (cloth?/leather?) and can you get the thread in orange?

A black Exige with the lime (is it actually KG?) leather will look astonishing!

I'm thinking a seat with a BWR harness bar is in my future. You guys are a really bad influence .

I think that would be way too much, part of why the green looks so good is that it stands out so well against the black but its in moderation. Also I think the dash might annoy you after a while in bright green, and I'm not sure how the alcantara will fare after continued sun exposure.

What you might be able to do is get the dash/stack cluster covered in black leather or alcantara with a green stitching that could compliment the rest. Although, personally I'd leave that section as is from the factory. I think it looks overdone on the blue car, but it might look fine in the black with green stitching.

See what the shop says though, they might have done similar things in the past and possibly have photos of covered dashes. Its too bad this information is so hard to come by in the states. When I had my BMW it was the same deal with the 'Individual' options, almost anything was possibly but virtually no information was available stateside, and most dealers were either unable or uninterested in helping. I saw the Lotus trim shop when at the factory tour and they do some amazing work. Not sure who you emailed but you might try contacting them directly. I have an email and ph # of someone there if you need.

<edit> Here are two quick Pshops of a green dash. Were you thinking something else?</edit>

If I am understanding you correctly, these are available in the US? If so are you selling you OEM seats while replacing with these?
