Thanks..Yes it's a nice thing...I've only driven a few other standard sevens and not really driven any back to back with this but the turn in is superb and the overall stability with the wider track all round is great. I've only done one track day in it at Croft last year and it was really easy to push quite hard even without any real set up etc..

Hi. Thanks yes and should have said specifically "superwide" but was generalising i guess.. It is very noticeable from some angles!

Ok after much deliberation I've decided to put my car up for sale in order to buy another Porsche, ( and potentially a cheaper Caterham if I have enough change left over ).. “Freestyle" Caterham. Car No. 6 of 8 built Built by Gary May and Len Unwin/ "Freestyle motorsport" in 2006. A very rare thing and highly regarded featuring some clever engineering solutions designed to improve performance without sacrificing usability. These cars were built as an evolution of the original design and are renowned for their improved turn in and stability. Car has original bill of receipt etc documenting delivery/work at Freestyle. There's an excellent article in the Feb 2016 edition of Low Flying documenting the Freestyle story inc this car - ( I can send on to interested parties ). You'll also find plenty of info with google searches, ( note this is the full banana/one of x8 cars and not just the retro fitted inboard front suspension kit that many track goers have fitted ). Spec as follows - 19, 500 miles/MOT valid to April 2023 - Freestyle inboard pushrod front suspension. - Freestyle “wide track” front suspension with aero wishbones and wider rear axle with rear arches +55mm each side vs standard using SV axle, ( double adjustable alloy Avo coil covers ). - Freestyle vented front cycle guards to reduce lift/ drag. - Freestyle rear diffuser to reduce drag/ improve aero - Full bare metal respray in 2022 at TSK in Aston Martin Pentland Green with Pearl black stripe, repainted grill etc..

Hi. I dont have on I'm afraid but fyi I've used the Apollo/current Caterham caps on my MB's by adding a small piece of heat shrink sleeve over each tab..Fit nicely now but you could repeat with a second piece if need tighter fit.... Cheers

Hi. Just to update, due to a further change with our group booking I can now offer this as, 3 person full weekend glamping package + 3 x full weekend admission passes Face value when bought was £1455 Can offer at £1000 delivered. Cheers, Ed

Hi. Updated/amended package below..

As er the title. Brand new bought in error - it's fits the standard S20, ( and not my S20FE ). Nice back cover in white with corners protected and Caterham car outline graphic in red. £20 delivered or collect from Leeds. Cheers, Ed

Ha....don't you just love predictive text! Yes it was "heatshrink" thanks... I'll check out heartstrings though!

I know! Yes my other option is a decal ascill be getting others made but would prefer a badge if poss. Cheers

Before I buy a new one I thought worth asking here if anyone has one spare that they never fitted? Its the Chrome "CATERHAM" script badge I'm after..Must be as new. Please pm if so. Thanks, Ed

A good tip if they are a bit loose is to buy some heartstrings sleeve. Place over the tabs, trim to length and heat. If need more then repeat...

Thanks. They are yours and PM replied to. Cheers

Hi. Yes they are. Cheers, Ed

Fully functional when removed recently. No cracks etc.. Inc reverse light , ( but cant remember if that was cut off or on a block ) £30 + postage or collect from Leeds. Please PM if interested. Cheers, Ed

Very good condition original boot cover + hood sticks. Now surplus to requirements. Collection from Leeds. £60 Please PM if interested. Thanks, Ed

I've ordered some Gtechniq base on OilyHands recommendation...Videos look good and figure for £20 it's an easy solution and I can use it on other trim parts if required. Hope it does the job..Cheers

Wow...Thanks all. Quite a few solutions it seems. I'll give some of them a go. Cheers

Hi. I'm in the process of making some cosmetic improvements poss including renewing my carbon dash..However I've noticed my rocker switches are very faded/grey so figure it's worth trying to tart them up if possible..? Has anyone tried this or have any tips or is the only option to replace, ( dont really want to spend £100 on switches just for aesthetics)? Thanks, Ed PS. If anyone has a nice new set they dont need please get in touch!

Hi Ian. Yes just clocked that but thanks for the heads up! Ed

Hi. I'm contemplating a new dash so thought worth checking here first..Looking for an as new carbon S3 dash with cut outs. WHY? Please PM if you have something. Thanks, Ed

Great. I've messaged Alastair so will hopefully get sorted. Cheers

I had read somewhere else that he was a busy man and at times hard to get hold of.. Ideally I want someone solid/no nonsense that does it full time and sells a quality product/service. There's obviously a lot of companies out there doing this sort of thing but would prefer a recommendation.. Cheers

Thanks. I'll drop him a line... Ed

*decals, ( edit doesnt seem to work )

On that note has anyone got experience of a good supplier of de sls. I'm looking for just basic Vaterham logos x3 for bonnet sides and one on the rear..Might want something slightly bespoke but nothing complicated. Will ask Tony if he uses someone but any thoughts welcome..
