Painting my nose
My car is orange with a black nosecone - The way I see it I have 3 options:
1. Does anyone have an orange indy nose to sell?
2. I get it painted orange to match the rest of the car.
3. I buy a new nose from MK.
Any advice?
Cheers,
Dan

rub it down with 600 grade wet & dry, light coats of plastic primer, sand that down smooth with 1200 grade w&d. Once the primer is not patchy,
apply several light coats of orange paint (halfords will have one that is very close). A week later go over it with some rubbing compound, then
original T-cut, 6 weeks later polish it.

Buy a new orange nose-cone from MK and sell the black one to offset some of the cost.

Cheers all.
What could I realistically expect to get for a 2nd hand black nosecone?

Change the nosecone after you've buried into the wall at Quarry (Combe), lost it into the metalwork after the Mountain (Cadwell) or any other
well-known event horizon.
You can also change the wheels/radiator/front chassis at the same time to suit.

lost it into the metalwork after the Mountain (Cadwell)
happy days and lots of not so happy evenings in the garage putting it right.
