Body Kits

Fibreglass body kits in a range of classic buddy styles. Strengthened and finished in colour or high spec metal flake. Protected with a gel coat.

Hand Made

Structure

Our body shells are hand made to order, they come in an outstanding smooth finish. The moulds are constructed with 7.5 oz lay up of the highest grade glass fibre available giving a 6mm thick tub. A pair of strengthening tubes are glassed in, under each side running from front to back. Bonnets come with the dashboard already glassed in place making the whole shell stronger and preventing sagging in the centre of the bonnet.

Fitting

The integral bonnet and dash provides a strong mounting for the windscreen so no special mounts are required. The fit of the bonnet in the body is excellent putting less stress on the bolting points. Under the bonnet is a mounting area for the standard Beetle fuel tank. Optional side pods can be fitted once the body is mounted to the chassis with bolts inside the wheel arch. Bodies mount to the chassis in much the same way as the original Beetle shell which was removed with a line of bolts around the bottom of the tub.

Finish

Choose from over 100's of different plain colours to make your buggy unique, or add a super high quality metal flake alternatively we can prepare the body "grey ready" for paint. Once finished, all Buggy bodies are flow coated in black on the under side for durability and long life. For protection a 2 layer gel flow coat is added all over. Its a satin finish which is easier to clean and prevents glass splinters during build.

Style

Choose a style from the iconic Classic Manx and the 1970's Bounty Hunter to the updated, yet subtle Prowler or recently modernised Sidewinder. Negate chassis shortening with the GT Long Wheel Base Buggy.
