RE: Carson VW Touareg shell
Although I have not sen the quality of the shell, £88.50 seems to be in the ball-park
New touring car shells can sell for £100 to £130, I have paid £60 for a secondhand unused shell on Ebay and thought it good value.

i think cutting arches on the shell in question to make it fit mt or mb wouldn't look to bad in fact i think dazza is correct it may look quite cool on our monsters

RE: Carson VW Touareg shell
I enquired about fiting one these bodies to a matder a while back. Remember when I was off work sick, got bored and got all excited about carsons 
It was the pain killers that caused lack of comon sence honest.
One member advised to get the complete carson roll cage to fit it to a marder. I conntacted the shop for part number and got told no part numbers, just wait until the conversion kit comes out and there is no release date as yet for the kit.
The bodies are meant to be durable. Between the lines of what was said, they will take more of a hamering than the mt shell due to the large surface areas without bends etc that are the main weak points in any shell.
