Headlights still taking up space on my garage shelf so big price drop to £25 posted to see if anyone wants them before I chuck 'em in the bin.

Not sold yet and taking up space in my garage so big price drop to £150 posted

Unsurprisingly I still have these...anyone want the for free (collected from Dorset) or postage before I chuck 'em in the bin?

My 2008 fuel gauge is consistent and steady but not my definitive indication of when I need fuel. I know what mpg I get on both gentle and fast runs, and as long as I fill up by 220 miles I can only put mid-20s litres into it, so I use the trip and start planning at about 180 miles indicated.

I opened this exited about maybe selling one of the two windscreens I have, both with cracked glass in ha! Good luck finding some glass; when my second one cracked I went down the insurance route and ended up just collecting a whole new heated screed with surround for my £100 excess.

This full hood originally came with my 2008 car and has never even had the bag opened let alone been used. It is for an S3 with a roadsport rollbar, although looking at the current options for full hoods on the Caterham Parts site the implication is it will fit any S3 without a full cage. https://caterhamparts.co.uk/hoods/6447-hood-with-zip-out-rear-window-s3.html £250 including postage

Stainless wing protectors for a K series car. Done about 11k miles. £25 posted

Sold.

Excellent. I was the numpty in the hi vis standing at the side of the roundabout running a bike race! Would have rather been out in my car...

Puma Speedcats seem to be by far the most suggested shoes for the narrow Seven pedals so I thought I would try a pair. Picked up this NOS pair still with stickers on the soles. I've done about half a dozen drives, very little walking, and I just don't get on with them at all hence the sale. UK size 12. £45 posted /sites/default/files/images/users/54457/PXL_20220614_054230133-01.jpeg /sites/default/files/images/users/54457/PXL_20220614_054250757-01.jpeg

...possibly on the way to the Wilton Wake Up by the looks of a photo I've seen elsewhere?

I know it's a cliche but just like everyone else I have a trip planned in a few weeks and no chance of getting a new half hood with the currently lead times. Any one got an S3 non-FIA one they might sell me?

Stanchions sold, headlights still available.

Couple of items from my 2008 car for sale: Silver 7" headlights, SVC stickers inside, fully working when removed from the car the other week. Threaded mount not included as my replacements were supplied with a metric one so I needed to reuse the imperial one, but otherwise complete. £45 posted Silver windscreen stanchions. £30 posted.

Just clicked on the FastTrackTours link in the original post to see where the tour went as I know lots of NW Scotland, and read the following on the first page: "A highlight (in more ways than one!) will be the famous Applecross Pass. This road has the steepest ascent of any in the UK - the 20% gradients and hairpin bends at the top mean the views are breathtaking." Seriously, the basis of FastTrackTours job is to know their routes, surely? I can find half a dozen steeper ascents within a few miles of my house in Dorset, let alone Hardknott or Rosedale Chimney Bank or no doubt others I don't know that can boast 30%. As an aside, the current (not untypical) state of the tarmac on the classic hairpins side of the Bealach Na Ba means I wouldn't call it a drivers road, just a nice view road (when you can look away from the potholes you're avoiding)!

Thanks but I just want a straight swap for the stainless ones on the car already, reusing the holes already in the wings.

Before I buy a pair of carbon rear wing protectors from Caterham themselves, has any one got a pair languishing in their parts stock that they want to sell, or perhaps even some used ones they've removed that are still serviceable? If not, can any one confirm the 'Std Rear Wing Protector LH' in the link below is the one that's shorter for the K exhaust; I can't tell from the photo. https://caterhamparts.co.uk/protectors/7622-std-rear-wing-protector-lh.html Ta

I might have, but... I've replaced my 7" chrome lights with new ones so I have the old ones sitting in a box waiting for me to get round to selling them. However, if I sell you the bezel then I have a set of lights with a part missing. I'd want to sell the entire set of lights together and therefore I guess that would be way more than you're looking to pay.

Thread resurrection (do I get bonus points for using the search function?) My grille has been painted by hand and is a bit scruffy in general so I was considering just buying a replacement. I want a black 7 on a black grill ideally. If it was perfectly straight I'd just rattlecan the lot black but the devil on my shoulder is telling me a new one isn't a big expense... Firstly, my car is an imperial one. Are the S3 grilles the same dimensions for imperial and metric cars (and therefore I can't buy the 'wrong' one)? Secondly, colour. The one on the Caterham Parts site looks like it's already black which would be great but there's no info (as usual) to confirm so I'm only going by a single photo and, of course, it's out of stock. The one on Demon Tweeks has the same code, is in stock but looks to be unpainted which makes me think the Caterham Parts one would be as well. Can any one confirm? https://caterhamparts.co.uk/nose-cones/144-nosecone-grille-with-mesh-s3.html www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/caterham-mesh-nose-cone-grill-7-logo-cat30c093a/ Ta for any info.

My bar does not have the diagonal brace...Would I need to replace the whole thing or can a brace be fitted to the original bar, either bolted or welded?

Perfect, thanks.

"just adjusted headlamps as per excellent guide by bjw" Is this a guide on the club site? Can't find anything, do you have a link?

That would be much appreciated, thanks.

Bumpety bump...still looking for a black heated screen, still not willing to risk a glass swap!

I don't live near London and have no intention of taking any car there ever if I can help it but sticking my 1.6 K series 2008 plate into that link above indicates I don't have to pay an emissions charges, just the congestion charge. Who knows.
