Carbon fibre locost???

Most of my cars bodywork is CF, locost it aint! And I made both the moulds and the panels!!





If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

had mine from GTS, took longer than expected (under statment) was happy with the rear and sidepanels, scuttle and nose cone were ok, was just happy to have them at last. but bonnet got damaged due to lack of decent packaging! not sure who else does locost body work anymore. could try Mr triton on here but think his bonnet mould is damaged.

AGM Sportscars do them too, as do MK, Luego and several others. EBay often has front wings for pretty cheap. Rear panels are harder to find if you don't want to make one yourself.

esp plastics do mudguards/wings - don't look bad either.
