SJoerD 2 Posted January 19, 2007 As the title said: Where to get the Mini Cooper M-03 RTR body in UNpainted form? It's the same as the old M-01 body as far as I can tell. Yes, I know the painted ones are our there and look pretty good, but I really want an unpainted one to match my real car! [] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tupers 0 Posted January 19, 2007 I may be wrong but I dont think you can get thoose bodys clear. As I understood it they are vacume formed out of pre painted/Printed lexan. Like I said I may be wrong but I have been searching for a while now and cant find bumpered mini body any where. Tupers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rabiedmushroom 2 Posted January 19, 2007 The M03 Classic Mini bodyshell is subtley different than the M01. The obvious change is the integral grille rather than the screw-on chrome effect grille and bumpers. The other thing is the shape of the wheel arches; they are bigger and you need to fit the 60D tyres to fill them out rather than the lower profile radials. Tamiya M03 type is good if you have a Sportspack or 13" wheels: Tamiya M01 type is good for smaller wheel/tyre combo (look where the arch comes up to on the rear quarter; its lower): If you have a front spoiler, a good alternative is the HPI (which has the big arches similar to the M03 style, but also has a bumper to spray): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJoerD 2 Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks for the illustrated explanation. Even though I already knew exactly what I wanted, only couldn't find it on eBay... [] My mini looks exactly like the M-01 box art. But the M-03 RTR's have the 55D tires again, and a body exactly like the M-01 (minus paint). I wondered if this body was also avaliable in clear... I would fit it to my M-03 mini and fit the 55D tires. The green one would also be an option, but I want clear windows and green metallic, just like the real deal. My car looks a lot like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
