Hi Guys,

Thought I'd post this up in case anyone is fancying the idea of clear indicators. The orange indicator lenses didn't look too out of place on an orange car however I think the clear lenses freshens it up a bit.

Also, finally got found to fitting the carbon fibre whiskers that came with the kit. I'm looking forward to feeling the benefits of the additional downforce :lol:

I feel the same.

Looks a great car though.

I also like the csr front mud gaurds(probably another term for them) which I think would make it a bit meaner looking.

Or is mixing it up like that frowned upon?

Looks much better now Chris, guess I don't need to send you the spare clear front ones I had for you any more!!

I hope you are enjoying your car now you are back, I hope the weather is better at the weekend so I can pull my R500 out, did I hear that it might snow up in your part of the world though??

Liking the clear lenses, I think they look far better and have a set waiting to be put on my white Supersport when I get it next month. I have a pile of Caterham bits, a helmet, a pair of Piloti's, just one thing missing....

I think the whiskers look good too, how easy are they to fit??

The whiskers were reasonably easy to fit. Sean at Caterham Cars sent me a template which is used to ensure they're symmetrical. Happy to forward that on to anyone interested.
