Are These Body Shells Available unpainted?

[mrlexan]

Does anyone know if Nikko offers their Porsche GT3RS bodies clear and unpainted? Maybe in Japan? Link below to the car for visual reference:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know the shells are lexan and available as a spare unpainted.

Yes, all Nikko spare shells are unpainted unless you get one that's been "recovered" by the service centre from a returned car.

Prices are a bit daft though - £39.99 for a shell for a £80 car...

Can anyone suggest where I can get one? Web link, etc? I am in the States and Nikko's presence does not appear to be as strong as everywhere else. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much, I will give it a try.

Thanks for the suggestion, but they were no help at all. It took her a while to even find out if the complete car was in stock (of which she had first said it was new and they have not received any yet). As for parts, they have none for that vehicle. She said when they do get them, they just show up and the only way that they can tell what parts were received, is by opening up the box. They don't seem too organized.

Any other suggestions? Can any one get some from abroad? Please let me know. Thanks!

Theo, I am after the correct front end for the GT3R. The tamiya body is more like the street car and I am looking to do something similar to the below picture (one my own pics, I might add [8D]). Nikko's is pretty much the same. See the front end? Still can anyone help, PLEASE!!!
