Parts Delivery #10
A large box arrived today. Amongst the polystyrene beads I found a new orange wing (!), a hood bag and a black silencer guard!
Don’t spoil the ship…
Our research with bodyshops showed that it was going to be at least the same if not more to get the damaged wing repaired. I therefore ordered a replacement from Tony at Caterham.
While on the phone I asked him if there was a black silencer guard available. With our car having the black pack and the small guard already on the catalytic converter, I thought a similar guard on the silencer would look good. He said there was one that would fit and it was £35. Sold!

It was about what I was expecting, but made the mistake we had made all the more irritating.
Before I bite the bullet and order it Carl is going to do a bit of research with bodyshops to see what it would cost to repair and repaint the existing wing.
