Where to get Ron Champion chassis bodywork?
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.

Bodywork
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.

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.

MK Indy bodywork fits fine as long as you dont need back panel or side panels, The cars are the same width.

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 no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

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.

Confused but excited.

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

Nose, scuttle, 2xfront wings, 2xrear wings I suspect - that's what others sell as a 6 piece set
