There is no real need to buy complete cars, certainly not two, in order to get what you need. The Level 1 conversion takes an X6 Cubed already owned to be converted, you would then only need the B44 parts..
The cobra chassis, as great as it is, is just that - a chassis - on its own. The X6-S is more than just the chassis with both conversions containing multiple parts and the level 2 includes all the X-factory parts required as well as a new body and wing also.
When just a carbon chassis for a B44.2 is just short of £80 a whole conversion for just over £100 in our opinion is not too bad at all.
Alloy was not the way we wanted to go with this project, we wanted to follow many of the design cues from the X6 Cubed with carbon for its lightweight and rigidity, combined with top decks for the required strength they bring without fear of any possible bending or tweaking seen on many alloy versions over the past 12-18 months, which is why our car is what it is.......
