does anyone have any, or know of any, used race bodywork for sale - i don't mind how tatty it is? i have found a couple of companies who still list new race bodywork but it is quite expensive.

Have you tried these guys? Several members have used them and they seem pretty good quality. Prices aren't bad either:

nose = 40 Euros
seat = 80 Euros
sides = 60 Euros each

So about 240 Euros for a whole set, or about 170 quid! You can get the nose with or without the headlight cutout. I think Antonye used them for this DD racer.

what's it for?888?851?

I'm probably not going to race my 888 any more - what do you need?

If you are going racing, you will need to sort out an undertray as nobody makes ACU-spec race bodywork for the 888. I cut and shut a 916 one and trimmed the bottom of the sidepanels to fit.

Obviously ignore the above if its only for trackdays!
I can also vouch for the stuff from Germany, I had a seat and nose fairing for my DD racer and fit and finish was pretty good.

thanks for the advice guys

bodywork is for my 888 strada and is just for trackdays (not talented enough/ wealthy enough to race).

'Paynep': I am after nose cone and side panels. cheap price is more important than good condition. I would be greatful if would consider selling yours. could you u2u me with price/ details?

thanks

I got my SP5 panels from Qb Carbon last year.About £300 i think,for seat,nose and both side panels.The holes were not pre-drilled,which was fine('cos they never line up any way!)They fitted very well,the only bit i had to cut was the inside of the air vents in the nose cone,as they were too long.
