SBD762 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 July 2012 Low Flying front over shows a 7 with what looks like a smaller "7" compared to all the other 7's. Anyone know if such is available and where they can be bought from? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Normal size 7 but on an SV grille? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBD762 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't think it is. If you look at the "standard" grill it is a lot higher. I have a mate with an SV. His is the same as my S3 .. I just like the look and subtlety of the smaller 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted July 24, 2012 Leadership Team Share Posted July 24, 2012 Definitely smaller. Bottom picture p9 ... the car on the right is an SV, the "7" is top to bottom of the grill same as an S3. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBL Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'll ask him. That's Alaskossie's S3. Watch this space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskossie Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yes, my Caterham "7" grille emblem is 2/3 normal size. I thought that a smaller "7" emblem would look right, centered on a black mesh grille rather than filling the entire space, and with the black-painted radiator behind (sort of a "black hole" effect?). A fellow from UK was advertising on eBay, offering to laser-cut "7" grille emblems out of stainless steel. I contacted him, and asked if he could scale one down to 3/4 size; and he said, no problem, his mate (who was doing the work) could do it. I had the emblem powder-coated in silver to match the car body color, and wired it to the mesh with stainless wire. I passed the word around the USA Seven community about the availability of the smaller "7", but no one appeared interested. The person offering the smaller (as well as regular) "7" in s/s was Marcus Ridley, at marcus.ridley@sky.com Don't know if they are still available. I bought mine in 2008.

Alaskossie Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Sorry, error in prior post -- my custom "7" emblem is definitely 2/3 regular size, not 3/4. ( I suppose one could be made in 3/4 size, but it might not look very much different from full-size). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
