Looks tremendous, the finish is stunning.
Is it metallic or anything?
Are you having Paintshield Miracle protection film or similar on the front clam?
Hello Shaun, Thanks, yes its the Fezzer diamond met blk, has more metalic than before, they spent 4 days flat and polishing it to get that finish there estimate was 2200euros which is so cheap so i offerd 2500 for the perfect job this was the end result, not perfect but 9/10 in uk eould of been 4kIs it metallic or anything?

I thought about protecting it but they never shine the same coated and at that price i can paint it every 2 years lol

But an R600 had a supercharged Duratec in it. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/caterham/7/62164/cate...
Mines an R416 mathmatically, and that includes putting my fat ar$e in the drivers seat all fluids and half a tank of fuel. Of course it has R300 badges on it. Only the sound of 9200rpm gives things away.
Drove a supecharged one hated it, mine produces same power and more torque normaly aspirated power delivary is so smooth and relentless compared to a supercharged one which is snatchy to say the least.Mines an R416 mathmatically, and that includes putting my fat ar$e in the drivers seat all fluids and half a tank of fuel.

Caterham R series are Quoted by power to weight ratio ie 300,400,500, and now 600bhp per ton. My Cat is more as it only weighs in at 470 kilo.

470 kilo? I'd check you scales.
My are is a K with areao, carbon everything, kevlar tillets and full weight reduction wherever possible. Still 500 kgs on R500 alloys and slicks.
I'm sure a K20 is heavier than a K-Series too.
All catbon bits, no heater washer or screen, and K20 is 15kilo lighter, light magnesium wheels, on scales that is exact weight, built by F1 merc engineer think he knows whats what,getting bored nowMy are is a K with areao, carbon everything, kevlar tillets and full weight reduction wherever possible.

ooks 10 out of 10 on photo's Craig, some finish!
I'm deliberating getting my whole car resprayed especially after seeing yours although doing away with the metallic completely in black still or complete colour change to TVR Reflex Charcoal then the front clam totally covered in Paintshield Miracle.
I was going to just get front clam done as the rest of car was mint n blemish free until recently a part roll of Polysafe vinyl that was stored poorly in my garage decided to attack & scratched the fk down the drivers door including the side of rear clam
A little unlucky mate, with the storage.:-(I'm deliberating getting my whole car resprayed especially after seeing yours although doing away with the metallic completely in black still or complete colour change to TVR Reflex Charcoal then the front clam totally covered in Paintshield Miracle.

In uk they wanted 2k just for rear clam, it had craved and cracked from intense heat produced.
Shaun when you see the metalic flake, it sparkles looks amazing, go have a look at the Ferrari diamond met blk, think it may change ur mind.
It would cost u a grand to transport car there and back, so not so cost effective around 3700 euros in total,

Yep thanx for the offer I might take you up on that in the spring... they done a great job on the Caterham by the look of it as well, ive had a couple of Caterhams and at the moment I keep getting the urge to go out and get another one (not as crazy as yours) and keep it down in France to hack around the Pyraness (cant spell)
Great idea, with all the weather equipment on would be a great drive, mine has 4 map settings, so can be set at 160bhp for those steady drives :-)Gassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
