Carbon mods are just about to release the MK bike engined bonnet bulge out of the mould tool to be made in Carbon. Against the orange ti would look awesome.
They're also doing nose cones to fit the Caterhams and Westfields; it won't be long before they do one for the MK

That seems surprisingly cheap to me for what you're getting. What are the 0-60, top speed on them?

They are awesome!!! We built one last year and for the cash there is nothing like them!!!
435kgs and 150bhp (depending on engine used and year) gives well over 300bhp per tonne so Id guess 60 in around 4 and 100 in around 10? To be fair though, they arent just a straight line car, round the country lanes they are amazing, so well balanced!
Do it matey, you wont regret it!

I'd take the S2K (subject to insurance not taking the piss)
My dad previously toyed with the idea of building a Caterham. Drove one at Silverstone - was amazed by the speed and handling - very raw. I'd love one
