Half hood. All good.

[Nick OTeen]

I just received a few items from the good people at Thundersport in the UK. I dealt with Sam Walter there (all by email) and everything went very smoothly.

 

Here are a few photos (quick cellphone pics) of the half hood they made for my SV. It's beautifully made and fits perfectly.

 

My son and I took it for a quick lunch run and we like it very much. Even though I have the full top for the car I have yet to use it so this is the first time I've driven the 7 with any sort of roof on it and it certainly feels a bit different.

 

I also received a couple of Thudersport's bulkhead bags (soft-side "suitcases" that slip in behind the seats) and they are great as well. I'll post more about them later.

Very nice!

How do you get in and out?

Is the door hinged forward or down?

[Nick OTeen]

The doors are the "standard" Caterham doors that hinge on the windshield frame. So it's just a matter of opening the door, putting your right foot in first and then just slide on in. Taking the steering wheel off makes it a bit easier.

 

Of course, you also have the option of taking the doors off and putting on the wind deflectors for a more open - yet covered - drive.
