This site is a diary of the build of a very special bodied Caterham 7, panelled completely in "Carbon-bits.com" carbon by Richard (RiF) for his wife Henrietta.

Pictures of our build:

The paint colour has been chosen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the way from the USA

"HOT PINK  in a PEARL finish"

Watch out lads, your wife will be wanting one!!!!

The roll bar is now sprayed. Later we will paint odd parts but not the main body, although there are plans my wife has to brighten up the black carbon??????

Scuttle fitting, the finishing off of all the panels and edges, closing the "grot trap", tunnel top preparation, painting suspension and some finished carbon clad chassis pictures

It does not really show this colour off to its full but gives you an idea!!!!

Changes in different lights with the pearl effect. It is BRIGHT!!!!!! You won't miss seeing this at an event
