Hmmm, dislike from me too.... needs to be a bit more boxier and a bit more extreme. Just looks a bit wishy washy to me - hopefully they'll work on it further to make it more extreme and aggressive looking!

I really wish somebody would make a new good looking shelll for the C4.1 tho... I'm not a fan of the standard shell... and think its a bit of 'short cut' that Centro just nicked the old S2 bodyshell and didn't design their own to go with the new car!

Just my opinion

Cab forward should be for handling reasons, so requires a steep windscreen to work. This shell is too shallow a slope and not forward enough! Sorry guys. What you've done is smooth and slipstream but personally I wouldn't choose it over the factory C4.1 shell.

Not everyone will like it I admit, but I love it and it's a bit different to the std shell, these are not mass produced items so car will be a bit unique to other centro's

Who cares about handling differences, I don't know many people who go out and buy a shell because it handles better people care more about looks, and this one looks great!

It didn't arrive in time for Off Road Wars (), but here's a sneak peak at the JConcepts C4.1 Finnisher and Hi-Clearance wing prototype...


Note there's tons of room around the radio gear (the speedo fan was touching the standard shell where the windscreen joined the bonnet) and there's enough room under the cab to fit the AE FT battery thumbscrews on all four posts

Very nice that, liking the front wheel nuts too. Are you running the inline axles?

Well what I mean is, when buying a shell most people would usually choose one that is better looking, not usually taking into account the handling differences between the shells. If that sounds right lol
