Olivier,

They're not as easy to get any more, unfortunately.

Could try these guys for a Delta or Xsara - http://www.deltaplastik.it/?p=prodotti&l=eng&cat1=6&cat2=12&cat3=20

Might be worth checking out the measurements of some of the new generation of rally car bodies from Traxxas etc. , although a lot of them are fairly blob-like.

Schumacher sold a lot of Parma-made ones back in the day (Mondeo, Mercedes, Alfa 155, Escort Cosworth, Calibra, Gelica GT4, etc.), but they're harder to find now - might be easier to search for locally for you, though.

I considered offering you something from my stash... but there's not a lot left, and postage is so exorbitant for things like bodies.

Good luck!

Alex
