timax Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Its the hardest thing to choose the color! I have just bough a 7 that is British racing green over polished alloy. Because the car has carbon guards and i'm finding it hard to pick a color. I prefer retro looking colors that i'm afraid will clash with the carbon........or would it look good?? Would love to see some pics if you have any. plan B is to strip and polish the hood and scuttle and just have the nose painted. Probably black but again open to ideas. Its the carbon thats making it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHKflyer52 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Simply paint the carbon parts to match the rest of the car is one approach as original Lotus 7 did not have carbon parts and only a handful of late model Caterhams have carbon parts but that is just my thoughts. :driving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I agree, just paint it. Carbon is not that exotic anymore. To me, it's not really a wow thing. Plus, a lot of it is not UV protected and will get damaged by the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
