Maybe the louvres are to let the mud out, or have they fitted a rear mudguard as standard for 2014? I agree, they do look good though.

The Brooklands exhausts differ between cars and motorbikes, although the idea is much the same, a staggered entry/exit silencer and a fishtail end. The thing is, what should go on a Three Wheeler? The big argument, is it a car or is it a motorbike should determine which one

All the Brooklands exhausts I've seen have the fishtail tapering in plan to a narrow exit with perforations in the side; the Morgan one looks rather clunky. It would be nicer if the tail pipe curved in to follow the shape of the body.

@stringer are the new Lourves just aesthetic ?
No , if they have not improved the rear mudguard on the m3w2014 as per recent posts, then I guess the vents will help expel the water and mud sloshing round in that area!

As the 3W is a tricycle it can have it's own version I'm keeping an open mind until I see one. If they followed the shape of the body would it not need additional mounting?

As the old one
It is better for performance i suppose

that brooklands car must be absolutely blinding when driven into the sun...reflections...

A brushed look much like the delorean would be a much smarter look in my eyes in consideration for the drivers eyes along with motorists around you whom would basically be hit by all sorts of reflections. Makes me think of the time when kids would reflect the sunlight with their watches at each other.

Thanks for the photos Jays...

The rear body louvres look good, I doubt they do much unless they aid cooling of the bevel box.

The polished alloy body is a delight, but unworldly. Polished stainless perhaps, or brushed as has been suggested. But keeping the polished one looking light that would be impossible in the real world. Better a chrome wrap.

I doubt the rear louvres will achieve any more than nasty dribble marks down the outside of the body as all the road crud escapes the rear wheel area.

More washing required!

Polished alloy is actually quite practical, though it is a lot of work, some may call it a labour of love! It gets easier the more it is polished. I've had at least two polished alloy Caterhams over the years, but wouldn't have another one now, whilst good at the time though, the novelty does wear off.

With regard to the 2014 improvements, some are for cosmetic purposes, like the vents in the back, some are for practical purposes, but which oness do existing owners really need most?

A further thought about the cooling fan - now that there is a little cowl to the rear of the cylinders, it only needs some large bore heater hose led throught to the footwells, and hey presto, warm feet.

My thoughts exactly...especially with a cable operated valve..
