Can anyone tell me where the best (cheapest) places are to get all the GRP parts of the bodywork from for a locost chassis

GTS do a whole set for £690. If you want a full GRP body.

Or for £355 if you want the standard stuff.

The quality is meant to be outstanding, but then I am not biased at all.

Don't know from experience, but MAC#1 and MK seem to be the popular choices for kits, so maybe they'll have a good price on bodywork also.
Try the links page on this site and check their websites for contact info and/or prices.
Good luck.

Hi Baboon, you will find that they are all very much the same in terms of cost, really it will probably come down to which one is closer to you and therefore easier to collect or cheaper to have delivered.
You don't say where you are, its quite a big country!
I'm using GTS, i found them to be just about the cheapest out of a very close bunch and also they are the most local to me.

MK's is about £700 for full grp

Stuart Taylor also fits the Locost chassis.

I opted to get a compete body:- Side panels, Nose Cone, Bonnet, Scuttle, Rear Panel, Rear wings & cycle wings all pre coloured from GTS.

Top quality gear which fitted the book chassis with very little trouble (2 weekends work)

Follow the GTS link from the 'LINKS' section of this forum for the latest price.

Delivery took longer than the expected 28 days, which was a pain, but not disappointed when it arrived.

I was going to mention Stuart Taylor, also you may get a bargain if you're not too fussy on colour. there were a few cancelled orders goind cheap when i got mine.
Oh Blue Hurricane, noytice you a building a car in French BLue, A VERY nice colour i think But that means i'm not unique any more (never seen another)
