unfortunately I didn't use film (I would love to be more active with film, but lack a good quality film camera), I cheated with post-processing in Photoshop to give it the cross processed look.
They're 13" wheels on Yoko AO-21Rs, got them from George Polley a good few years ago, they're black with a chrome outer edge. Sadly like all flourishes on wheels, the chrome is starting to blemish but it doesn't spoil the look from a distance. They're very similar to the ones Caterham sell/sold.
I've got a set of 14" silver m-lites in the garage with Avon ZV3s which I stick one when it's being stored and for MOTs to help with clearance onto the ramp etc.

Some photos from Llandow's trackday at the weekend. After a rainy first session (and having to come in after two laps because the seat had come loose, oops!) we had a sunny dry day! Fantastic fun chasing the other cars down in the corners!
Still waiting to get my hands on some 13" wheels. Loved the grip on the 195 width 15's, can't decide if the 175 width 6" would be a little skinny at the back! Definitely need to move to the 13" to get a smoother ride though.

In a few weeks, I'll be driving 400+ miles South down to San Diego for a California 7 group blat, and in planning my route there, saw I will be driving past a small back-road out in the middle of nowhere named Brown Material Road. I'll try to get a photo of the road sign.
Sean how do you find driving your 7 in southern Calif ? , I have a lot of family in Fallbrook ,Tamecular & San Diego and surrounding areas. I guess once out on the back road so to speak you can really put your foot down and not worry to much about the 55 mph speed limit the road look fantastic ? What about the heat in the cockpit ? My cousins are always on at me to move over there.

Hi Matt,Matt
I live in San Jose, which is not SoCal at all (nearer San Francisco); I just went to the San Diego area for a blat with the 7-ers there. But most any area of California is a good place for a 7, due to good roads and weather. I have a CSR260 engine in a S3 chassis, with no carpets and no footwell heat insulation, and I don't find it to be unbearable at all on blats through the desert sections as above (have been through 100 degree F for an hour or so), but obviously prefer blatting in 18-30 degree C conditions, which are more the norm.
If you visit your cousins (you should!), check California Caterham Club in advance for events and/or advice.
Cheers and whatnot.
