Douge one Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Looks like CEN made a worthy contender for wr8, not to mention that beautiful shell that should fit Wr8 just like wheels do 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy45 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I’ve taken the plunge and got hold of the CEN Puma bodyshell to fit my WR8 flux. Had bought the Subaru shell but never got round to sorting the body mounts so that’s going on eBay now plus the gold wheels. Shell seems pretty robust, I was concerned it would be flimsy like some of the cheap shells I bought for my now sold RS4-Sport but seems decent. Is supplied with graphics and body furniture but not fitted. Reviews of the CEN car flagged issues with the bodyshell fouling/tucking under the rear wheels so need to check what the fix is for that and sort body mounts etc. Sorry this won’t be a quick job for me but hope to post updates when I’ve finally got round to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodyshel fouling under rear wheels was caused by body posts flexing not by body itself, CEN now including like rear bumper/body support as a fix. Nice to see there's no body posts holes drilled (I couldn't tell from Modelsport pictures) . looks good 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will bear that in mind once I get into the job more. The CEN bodyshell does have some holes pre-cut near the rear window area but l expect this is for mounting the rear spoiler etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy45 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I’ve not watched that YouTube video but the picture shows pretty clear what’s going on there. Never had similar with all the west and rear on my WR8’s so the HPI body mounts may eliminate the need for extra bumper etc in any case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Small update, halfway through sorting body holes - something I’ve only done once before (on a cheap shell) and didn’t quite get right. Having to play around with body mounts to get it looking right - compared to my Fiesta WRC shells would say have gone lower at the rear and need taller ones at the front. One major hiccup avoided as reaming the rear holes I could see an external layer starting to lift. Hadn’t noticed the shell has a full clear film on it - handy I spotted before fitting the graphics 😳 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Yeh clear shells have an over spray film on them that peels of after youve painted it but good job you noticed it fore you decalled it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Shell came pre-painted which was what confused me. That’s not hard though being honest Edited October 29, 2023 by troy45 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
