Thank you both. I think this is my best attempt at a lexan shell so far!

Thanks KEV THE REV I wanted to do as little trimming as possible so that the arches looked roughly similar. It's a compromise between making it look right and having steering and suspension.
I've added a video, it looks great driving around.

Thanks Mad Bee, I was going to leave the shell black but there were too many imperfections in it.
I didn't have any black paint but had plenty of Ford ivory left over from a Transit camper body repair.

Thanks Tamiyastef, it's a Phat Bodies shell that I picked up from eBay, I originally fitted it to my m05 chassis but that now has a Lunchbox shell fitted.

No red wheels, I did think about painting them but thought it might be too much with the red chassis.

Thank you both. The colour is actually acrylic grey primer made by Silver Hook, I got it from QD, £6 for a big tin.

Thanks makato.
I agree with you about the wheels and tyres. I fitted my Konghead set to it this morning and took it out on the rubble pile, it's actually a very capable crawler!
I've added a picture with the wheels on, I think they quite suit it.
More mods to follow.

Thank you!
I really messed up the original blue paint job, got frustrated and that's how it ended up being matt black.

I eventually bit the bullet and painted the wheels red as Tamiyastef suggested - they turned out quite nice!
