Ive been running the 201 vega conversion for the last month or so and have found it to be a very quick well balanced car. The build quality is amazing.

I know a couple who have run the vega after the STD 201 and they were far more consistent and faster on uk tracks.

Decided to order after seeing the quality of the kit online - damn it looks nice, and I know the mid motor cars suit our tracks better. Hope it goes how it looks, update and blog on its way.

You really really wont regret it, I love my vega 201. I find it easy to drive and consistant. And inside line racing are great for parts in a hurry!

The bodyshell I've seen in google doesn't look great, has anyone got images of theirs so I can confirm if I saw the right item or not and can start planning a spray job.

Thanks for that, I was looking at the right design but the colours didn't do it justice. Some of these examples are really tidy, can't wait till father xmas delivers it on Tuesday - fingers crossed.

Lots of shiny pieces have arrived as promised - great service, looks fantastic and can't wait to get stuck in, time to strip the car down and carry out the prep work.
