what you`ll have to do josh is buy a body and paint it yourself, not as big a job as it may sound !

have a look HERE FOR A SILVER BMW

or look here for other types of shell, i beleive you need a 200 mm shell ( width)

CLICK HERE !!!

once there just click on the manufacturer logo`s . i beleive that all listed on that page should be 200mm

and a phone call to the shop , and they will answer any questions you have about paint selection.

the link os to modelsport, a very comprehensive online shop

www.modelsport.co.uk

You can buy unpainted Hpi BMW Shells, I saw one in my local Halfords the other day as they are selling Hpi R/C Cars there.

You didnt` have a look at teh second links i posted, or you would of seen.....




BMW M coupe



bmw shell



bmw shell



these are all clear unpainted shell`s ,HPI only supply a painted shell in silver colour, so to attain what you are after you are going to have to paint a shell to how you liek it, which is not difficult.

I checked all those links adzam and some nice shells there too, i think josh is more concerned with getting one in the colours he wants, yes it can be done as clear shells are available...will take a bit of work but that is not too hard...look at the Skyline I did...and so far I have not found another one yet in same scheme !!!

Regards..........Mark

I have built the subaru which deagostinin released and it is quite good although the battery pack which they supplyonly lasts 15 minutes. So any words of advice for a beginner(beginner in Nitro cars). Just out of interest how man of you are buiulding the spitfire, i am. It is huge and i am only ay issue 7.I am waiting for my next issues to arrive in the post.

NO! dont, you may like building these things from deagostini but you are wasting your money. All Deagostini has done is steal kyosho's alpha gp3 which you can get for fraction of the price. And it has a Proper exhaust not a crappy silencer that falls off every two minutes (screws drop out because of serious vibration, you get a better set of wheels and the best engine available for it! Also it gives you a proper set of oil filled shocks (suspension springs) oil filled! I have just finished this car, yes it is good but i really wish i got one off kyosho dealers.it also takes you over 64 weeks (1yr 8 weeks) SO QUICKILY STOP THE SUBSCRIPTION, DONT BE A FOOL LIKE ME AND FALL FOR THE EXTORTIONATE PRICES LIKE I DID! And whilst you on the following site DO NOT look at better or faster cars (to buy) because trust me, this car will be plenty fast eneugh for a beginner like yourself. You can also use the money you saved to do it up with two speed transmission set and even more stuff to make it even better, you can find these on spare parts (HERE) Click at the top to find new shells for the car and also wheels and tyres. E-mail me on joshleafe@aol.com directly to talk more. You can find the car at, KYOSHO WEBSITE (CLICK HERE)
I hope this helps you, (i hope it helps you bank acount also)
Cheers
Josh Leafe
