I have newish RainExperts on my Golf Mk4, but I would not choose them for the lightweight seven. Toyo R888Rs are a fantastic summer Caterham-friendly road tyre, and they cope well with damp and wet conditions - while also encouraging you to take care. I have 14” minilites for most of my touring type adventures, and a set of 13” for the better quality roads.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Resurrecting this thread as I'm in the same position as Kent Low Flyer: choosing between the ZT7 and the Rainexpert 5s for 14 inch rims. I can't find any reviews of the 5s on here, only the discontinued 3s. Any opinions most welcome!

Thanks,

Guy

I waved from the window of a grey Golf

You were heading towards Abergavenny and gave a wave. We were in the yellow with black stripes, waiting at the junction on your left, waving back.

Thanks for the nod.

Looks like they have been drilled for mirrors though.

I may just have to buy new.

Thanks.

Not a bad fall-back option. Ideally, I'd like to keep the anodised ones separate and untouched, so I always have the option of reverting.

Hi all,

Having done the lights, the stoneguards, and with the windscreen in progress, I'm only missing the stanchions to finish "black packing" the car.

Before I bite the bullet on the Caterham Parts store, does anyone have any for sale on here?

Thanks,

Guy

Yes please. Is there a postage option?

Thank you Brian.

That's very helpful to know.

Thanks Jonathan.

I've been reading up on your last point at least. It is kit-built, according to the VIN, but registered 2015, so my understanding is that unfortunately it wouldn't get away with just a smoke test.

Thanks,

Guy

Hi all,

My first experience of getting an MOT for a Caterham is coming up. I don't suppose anyone has any Bath/Bristol area test garage recommendations?

I've got my fingers crossed that all will be well!

Thanks,

Guy

Thanks for the link.

Mind you, what rabbit hole have you sent me down? 

I'm now considering different reflectors, led bulbs etc... 

Hi,

I'm looking to "black pack" my Roadsport and am starting with the lights. Does anyone have any of these for sale?

Thanks,

Guy

Thanks for the advice, John!

Hi John,

I've been contemplating the Supersport upgrade as I'm still on the 125 ladder rung. If the parts/fitting option pans out, I may be interested.

Thanks,

Guy

Hi,

Does anyone have any of these as mentioned in this thread

https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/side-mirrors-mounted-windscreen-stanchions-bracket-solution

going begging?

I passed on the pair recently in the For Sale section and am regretting it! I'm looking for quick and simple-to-fit mirrors if I have the doors off (happy enough with the mirrors on the doors and not looking to drill anything).

Thanks,

Guy

Hi Rob,

I am interested in these if still available and you can send pics.

Many thanks,

Guy 

Hi!

That was me. Thanks for the beep! That was my first drive in it. It had been delivered from Kent only 30 minutes earlier!
