On Friday I signed for a Caterham 170R here in France.
I have until Tuesday when i pay to change my mind regarding the colour.
Which is your favourite between the two schemes below?



I honestly cant make up my mind.

Thanks
Ben

Blue for me, but I would go for the lightest possible wheels you can get hold of...even if you have to go aftermarket.

7s really do benefit from the lowest possible unsprung mass.

I don't think this post is going to help you reach a solution laugh

I do like bright colours with close coloured nose.cone and band.

We have had “ Nardo “ on a couple of fast Audis and the similar “ China “ on an Aston V12 so I’m biased but on the Caterham I’d want something a lot brighter generally.
Maybe Nardo with a bright orange on the front / stripes / roll cage.

Can you order blue with gold wheels?

That just looks great.


Grey = commuter. Nothing special

Blue+black wheels = I bought the wheels from eBay to jazz it up

Nice. The blue is my favourite from those two but i'd go for something like yellow or orange personally.

Fascinating car the 170, start a readers cars thread when you get it, would love to know how you get on with it.
