I have a 2000MY 1.6 Superlight with unpainted and apparently unlacquered carbon arches which I much prefer to the current very shiny (presumeably) lacquered carbon wings.

Is there a difference in construction between the my older arches and the newer ones? Does anyone still produce my type of arch?

Unfortunately Carbon Mods no longer produce Caterham wings.

I just wanted to identify whether I could still get them as I do not like the highly lacquered wings.

It's not good to have them actually unlaquered. They'll degrade through water ingress.

Just have them sprayed with a matt laquer.
They may be sprayed with a matt lacquer for all I know. They are period wings as they came from the factory. No issues with water ingress and just need an occasional spray with a bees wax spray to keep them in good condition.
