The more I play with removing the headlights from pictures the more I agree with your assessment. Really takes the personality out of it. Maybe that's why pure race models never had a big appeal for me.

Sorry for taking the thread off topic, found the 7in lights picture. Those were wild

The minutia with good painting layers and color matching vs just letting a factory do it would be a no brainer for me to pay the difference and let them have at it. I've had enough trouble trying to get the existing colors to match from local body shops as is. I think we all here agree that 620 nose is certainly aggressive looking. Hard to pick favorite stripe style to go with it. Nose badge vs two stripe vs 3 stripe

You guys got me curious in the headlightless discussion I'm not digging it (with highnmount lights, might be even 7in here?) vs and without the top/windshield (when I had the high mounts 5.75 lights) vs

I have two standard and one 620. Yes mounting points are different, 620 needs L mounts on the vertical beam. I have not installed those yet.

Mine has been sitting unpainted for a few years now. I at least think its call that I'll have an option of swapping back and forth between different styles (I have total 3 nosecones)

This is like the Anti Christ to 7in high mount headlight people. I personally like the layout of the headlight and pod, just didnt like the high mount or the 7in

How Is This Car Even Legal?! (Caterham 340S POV)

Another attempt to get a set from overseas failed for me (seller wasnt willing to separate wheels from caps and it was the wrong wheels) Ironically the seller suggested that there are some US side ones being made on USA7's (IE this thread) so.... bumping this @Rosteri

@Oliver Let us know if you're ready for orders

I just noticed a center filler cap. Very peculiar. Not sure I've seen a lot of that.

White is best @BlakeJ

DemonTweeks and Westermann are your options I'd have to dig into receipts to see who I ordered from as I had orders from both By the pictures on their sites now, DemonTweeks also appears to be 0 degree (I thought I bought from them) https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/caterham-carbon-fibre-indicator-mounts-241853/ Westermann appears to be 45 degree (very pricy but I needed to order other stuff anyway so I did one big bulk order back in the day) https://westermann-motorsport.com/en/produkte/indicator-pod-carbon

Opt in for the CF pods. Minimal cost and much better experience and product. With that said I think 3rd party pods were better and I ended up ordering both and using 3rd party ones that were cheaper Caterham switched to vertical pattern on almost all of its CF products which I personally hate 45 degree CF weave is much better looking and matches the rest of my parts

A shop can likely dye it/paint it or otherwise it was offered in "CF vinyl" which is still black but gives it some visual texture. but yes all i've seen was black as well. Are you trying to have one color matched? Might look odd around black windshield and a black roll bar.

A lot of numbers use sticky material thats reusable but does get dirty and lose tack Otherwise if you're using a panel that you can reach from the inside you can place counter magnets for the magnetic sticks on the other side of the panel.

Hello. I do not think you will find struggle to find somebody to meet up with but just in case you do you can join the gathering of 7's at NJMP in the fall where many will be available along with a good crowd of people. You will want a model with a removable steering wheel for ease of egress and they do require upper body strength to get yourself elevated but otherwise it should work. There was even a member with a medical condition (can't recall the name) that created a "butt extractor" to help with the lifting and he had a seat pad of sorts rigged up to the roll cage that would help him get the initial lift going.

Solid advice. Mine still gets caught now. I strategically place pieces of wood under front tires as it goes in and out right now until I diy my own ramp extensions. Winch is always useful for sure

I also removed all my evap system. If I recall it was just in place to begin with but not connected, but memory is vague at this point.

The curse of the missing SLR wheel center caps strikes again

7 things I hate about my Caterham 7

Re: weight distributing hitch (WDH). I own an equializer and but dont use it on the regular for a few reasons even though I'm close to the upper max of towing capacity (5k) on mysetup. 1) You're not supposed to use it on aluminum trailers as the material doesn't transfer the tension load correctly and tends to bend rather than transfer. I have it as a backup or emergency and owned it before this towing setup but so far has not needed it. 2) If you're using it is as intended they are great. They serve multiple functions such as keeping the load and truck level giving you proper traction for steering and maneuvering and secondary depending on the model they can greatly help with sway control of a trailer which is one of the biggest risks in towing especially on enclosed trailers and wind forces. What are you looking for when you're asking for Hitch recommendations? Brands of hitches or general advice? Many people here use prodigy RF for break controller including myself. My SUV even though its a 7 pin round plug doesn't have any brake controlling functions/signal from the vehicle in the harness so that was peculiar. I know you're still on the fence about open vs enclosed and cost is always an issue but seeing that you have a Cat with an aero screen having an enclosed trailer gives it an extra safe home without having to worry about theft of weather even at your own house if you happen to need to the garage space where it is for something else (more of a serious concern for me with a single bay garage where it has to stay in there which creates a conflict if I need the bay for other work).

Blanket tariffs especially that end up covering things that cannot be produced, sourced or grown in the United States do nothing to solve competition, in those situations it's just a tax on people.
