Nose job.

I know it's a Cateringvan rip off but I had a spare nosecone with a nasty star crack in it from when I dropped it...

So I was pleased when Caterham brought out their CSR with a vent right where the damage on mine was. Seeing as they have spent ££££s working out where to put bonnet vents I had the urge to get the jigsaw out and make my own!

£10 for some new stripes, badge and mesh and 2-3hrs I've got a new nose cone.

That is a very good installation job. I think I may follow your lead! How did you get the mesh to mount from below?
