Carbon nose cone canards

[shandyman]

Hi all,

This is my first post on PH - just thought Id mention that

My Dad has just finished building a C7 Roadsport SV and I was looking to get him some of the carbon nose cone canards as a gift, but I really wanted to see what they look like on a Caterham first before I do, but I cant find a picture anywhere at all...!

Can anyone help? Either have a pic of them on a car or manage to find one for me before I go insane?

Thanks in advance

Hey, thanks for all the replies, they have helped me make my mind up - I want to order some but on the sevenspeed website it gives a small, medium and large option. Obviously all are different sizes, what is the reason for the size difference? Should I go for a specific size depending on the model of Caterham?

So does the size just change the handling characteristics? Ie, any of the sizes will fit but each will feel different when driving?

Shandy, don't be under any illusion that these "aerowhiskers" do a great deal. They were part of an experiment in improving the aero that worked to some extent as a package, but on their own don't do much apart from look cool. They may add a slight kick up to the air passing round the sides of the nose, but not a significant amount.

I believe that's what Dave J is alluding to. Was 78g the weight of the whiskers? I know you mention that figure when anyone talks about them, so I assume it's one of your little gags

The other mods in the CSR package IIRC are the faired cyclewings, the bonnet vent and cowling for the radiator exhaust and the front suspension with aero wishbones and inboard shocks. Is that right?

Lol, dont worry, I didnt think they would do MUCH, I just thought they looked damn cool! Gotta love a bit of carbon right!! I just dont want to buy the 'wrong' size, hence my question about what the best/right size to get is!??

And SJMMarsh - Big thanks for the pics - thats the exact colour of our Caterham including the black pack so gives me a great idea how they will look
