I've been persuaded that i need to finally get round to buying my bodywork.
So i've got a ron champion chassis. Who apart from Aries does bodywork?
Probably after nose, bonnet, scuttle, front and rear wings. Not 100% sure about bonnet.
I'd rather not having bodywork with an extra inch height cause i prefer the low line look.
The Caterham bodywork gives the lowline look, I'm sure the original car had Caterham /Lotus 7 nose cone .
My rear arches are Caterham and are a bit too wide with my wheels even with 1" spacer each side.
My front arches came new from Caterham , they sizes to suit different wheels.
Or White Racing do Locost racing bodywork , possibly lightweight and a bit flexy.

I think GTS used to do bodywork for your chassis. Have a look at their website or ring darren for advice
Hi
for the std lowline bodywork your best bet will be the white's who race in the locost championship. I belive they also flog some bits of bodywork
on flebay. Dont have link but am sure someone will shortly.
There is also Steve Hills who dose some bits for some of the locost race cars but not sure on bodywork but heres a link to him.

Or i know a guy that will do a 6pc set for £310. But its 35mm higher.

MK Indy bodywork fits fine as long as you dont need back panel or side panels, The cars are the same width.
We bought ours (including some replacement panels) from MK. No problems

I made my own low line bodywork. The bonnet and scuttle are one piece.

I believe AGM sportscars have just started doing locost bodywork, give Alan a bell on 01226 700373.Quality of their fibreglass has always been excellent.
I just ordered a rear panel from Alan at AGM, so they do Locost dimensions. Reasonable price too. Otherwise, check Fleabay - for you without exhorbitant shipping costs, it can be a good deal I think.

If it helps, Westfield-pattern nosecones are easier to fit than Caterham-pattern ones.
