Cosmetic Nose Job


Slow Hida

Recommended Posts

Some kind person reversed into me at Tesco's and cleared off without making contact. There are now two small splits in the nose cone

My car is anniversary green with a yellow stripe. Caterham have stated that they need the car to match the stripe to the nose This means a long trek from Brum and two long train journeys as I have to leave the car with them.

Caterham want 200 quid (plus VAT) to supply the nose and finish it painted

I still have to swap over the Dzus fasteners,number plate,badge and grill.

It gets worse because the nut securing the badge recently worked loose and I refitted the nut with superglue!!

Can some kind person advise:-

-Is there anyone in the Midlands that could be recommended to repair the nose.

-I understand the green is Jaguar racing green. From what year and is there a reference or close match.

-The yellow stripe looks like a decal of some sort. Is there a match in paint available.

Erm, Caterham midlands is, sort of, in the Midlands. Admittedly getting a train from Leicester to Birmingham may be a problem but you might be able to enouge someone to follow you and drive you back. Derek Moore uses a local dealer for paintwork and on the one occasion I used him for this type of work, he was excellent.
