Locost Bodywork

[TXWRX]

Looking to get a full set of fibreglass body panels, wings etc for a book spec Locost chassis but am struggling for much choice, seems a lot of companies are now doing the haynes roadster which is different and then all the different variations on the theme that are produced by other makers.

So far the only original book specification panels we seem to have found for sale are from GTS Tuning, anyone know about them? seem to have been some mixed reviews but i understand some issues he's had in the past have been resolved? or can anyone suggest anyone else who does the panels? particularly the side panels as these seem to be the main problem

If I wanted anything from them I would only pay in person, on collection.

What about the company that makes the LA Gold? I think they build Locost spec racers for the 750 MC championship? Might be able to help you.

AGM Sportscars (who make the WLR) do a full set of Locost bodywork, I believe they now have it for both the old Ron Champion book & the new Haynes roadster. Talk to Alan at AGM he's very knowledgeable & helpful & the guys on the Locost forum all seem to rate the prices & they're not known for being over generous!

I really like the LA Gold, fantastic looking 7 especially with a full cage. I think they had an orange demonstrator which was luuuurvley.

some good suggetions guys, its just the side panels that seem to be tricky, may end up getting/ making them out of sheet and painting them
