The body has so many screw-ups it's not funny. I will only be using liquid mask from now on.
Here's a pic anyway.

Thanks for the pic, like the paint scheme

The Fat Dog: The Black Kat would like to know how your new shell works on your old-school XRay If I hear good things about it I'll get one but if I don't I'll just save the cash and get a Vauxhall Vectra

JayBee - I takes me 1.5 to 2 months to render a body unusable. The stickers aren't hard to put on just take your time. As is obvious I didn't take my time. When you look at it up close it's a mess.
The Black Kat - I'll run it this friday or saturday.

I ran the body today, I'm used to the stratus 2.0 and had my car setup perfectly with it. Low speed is was great, very much like the stratus 2.0 but I felt the rear was a little more planted. High speed there was a slight push, not too bad and I'm sure I can tune it out with the suspension. Overall I prefer the stratus 2.0 to the caddie, the windscreen on the 2.0 is more foward then the caddie which gives more high speed steering. I also like the more loose style of the stratus 2.0 if you push it to the limits through low speed corners. Just my take, everybody has there own driving and setup style so you may find results completly different to mine.

I honestly hate the Stratus 2.0 because of its rear end...Theres just not enough rear bite with the Stratus for the tracks I run around here.

I ran the CTS today for the first time. I ran it back to back with a Mazda 6 and ran the same lap times with both bodies but the CTS was more stable.

Any thoughts on how this body would work on carpet? A friend of mine was wondering. I think it will be hard to beat a Parma Alfa on the carpet!!

I run carpet. Since my last post I've done some tweeking, the body is now dialed and doesn't push. Just a side note, the body doesn't deteriorate as quickly as the stratus 2.0. I generally get 2 months out of a body, this one will last longer. I've never run the parma alfa but from what I've read/seen of the body it work great on ozite, I doubt the caddie is better.
