LOTUS LOGO ON SEAT HEADRESTS

Postby don6962 » Tue 24.09.2024, 21:59

Hi
I want to have the Lotus Badge or similar embossed stitched etc onto my headrests.
I contacted Allon White Sports Cars and received an email stating Lotus no longer allow 3rd party companies to use their logo or branding and their legal department is quite active in enforcing this.
Is this correct? I find it very strange how they can police this?
Does anyone know or had this done or where i could.
Many Thanks Don.

problem is.. no one will tell you pubicly where to get it done...

i got mine done... but the guy doing them knows for a fact i dont work for lotus legal department... i worked with he's fiancee at the time :lol:

i suggest you look closer in a word of mouth basis, if you are meant to be trusted, you can get them done.

its all a matter of whoever is selling them being confident theres no no risk of "ceace and decist" papers coming their way

Thanks for the reply
I certainly don"t work for the lotus legal department this is why i have posted for some word of mouth because i do not know who to contact?
If anyone could be good enough to point me in the right direction or even drop me a txt on 07579062390 it would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks Don. ( I live in cheshire but am willing to travel to have it done)

I got mine refurbed and asked the guy to stitch on the logo... he didn't have the ability to do a full colour one so I choose the logo outline in the colour of my S2 (Asure Blue)... No issues at all about property rights, but then he was a one-man show in a small unit (great craftsman though).

Don..the guy (Sean) is in Billingborough..near Sleaford, South Lincs. https://www.inspireautomotive.co.uk. He did mine in the middle of COVID and initially he kept putting back the completion date; he had other more lucrative orders coming through (he re-leathered the inside of a AM Vanquish..I went and had a look..amazing!); ... in the end the seats were sitting with him for 8 months...but I didn't need them and he gave me really great deal (£850) in the end. I just checked and he is still active.
