Its the hardest thing to choose the color!
I have just bough a 7 that is British racing green over polished alloy.
Because the car has carbon guards and i'm finding it hard to pick a color.
I prefer retro looking colors that i'm afraid will clash with the carbon........or would it look good?? Would love to see some pics if you have any.
plan B is to strip and polish the hood and scuttle and just have the nose painted. Probably black but again open to ideas. Its the carbon thats making it hard.

Simply paint the carbon parts to match the rest of the car is one approach as original Lotus 7 did not have carbon parts and only a handful of late model Caterhams have carbon parts but that is just my thoughts.

I agree, just paint it. Carbon is not that exotic anymore. To me, it's not really a wow thing. Plus, a lot of it is not UV protected and will get damaged by the sun.

Well ,thats what I thought also. But there is no turning back once I have done that.
