Now that the majority of the mechanicals are done, I could concentrate on the wings and wheel covers. The hole marks provided by Caterham on the front wings are not exactly right so anyone reading this will need to check. As a result, the 15mm hole I drilled resulted in the fibre glass resin cracking between the hole and the edge of the wing. Fortunately, Darren (one of my my neighbours) has a repair kit and did an excellent job in fixing it.
While I was here, I fitted the front lights. There's a lot of fiddling with wires here and the 6-pin plug for the lights needs to be built. Sadly, the Assembly Guide doesn't give the right colour combinations to choose from so I matched the colours to the cables already on the car.
Darren is now helping regularly (in fact, he's spending more time in my garage than at home). He got the rear arches on and did the rear lights. Once you do one side, use the rubber strip that you need to cut as a template for the other side.
