I recently acquired a platinum silver Roadsport SV/R300K, it is an Anniversary edition so has the gold and black nosecone/bonnet stripe. Although I understand the nod to Lotus of the gold, I find it really jars with the silver paintwork, so would like to change it.

Looking for photos/inspiration as to what to change it to really; did think of a carbon fibre wrap around the front of the nosecone to match the wings, and then silver vinyl matched to the paintwork to run down the gold stripe, leaving the two black stripes either side...?



Pictures welcome!

Is that the ex-Top Gear RoadSport SV? Certainly is the same colouring...

I think that the Anniversary colours look pretty good, but then I'm biased...........

Think of the resale ;-)
Remove the stripes and you're devaluing the car especially if it's got great history.
I'm all for originality .

No idea why the previous owner of my Superlight decided to spray the carbon nose cone or wings and powder coated the wheels black but now have exposed carbon and diamond cut and black centre wheels.

I don't see many silver Caterham pics, but an Orange stripe may work.
