Key Features

• Comprehensive Accessory Package — Rather than just supplying a bare body, Killerbody includes a complete set of ABS plastic parts that replicate genuine Subaru Impreza WRC features, eliminating the need to source multiple components separately.
• Overspray Film and Window Masks — Professional-grade masking materials are included to protect windows and detailed areas during painting, allowing you to achieve clean, factory-finish results without overspray damage to precision-moulded areas.
• Detailed Light Buckets and Lenses — Separate chromed plastic light buckets for the front and rear, along with mirror lenses, create authentic lighting details that can be further enhanced with LED installations for night-time running.
• Exhaust Pipe Detail — A chromed plastic exhaust pipe is included to add authentic mechanical detail to the underside and rear of your model, enhancing visual realism whether displayed or in motion.
• Wing Mirror Components — Separate wing mirror assemblies with individual lenses are provided, allowing for realistic proportions and the option to detail them with individual colours or weathering effects.
• Rear Wing and Aerodynamic Details — A detailed rear wing component captures the WRC specification aerodynamics, whilst additional pieces like the roof air inlet, wiper blade, and antenna complete the authentic rally car appearance.
• Mounting and Assembly Hardware — A dedicated parts bag contains all necessary fasteners, LED stoppers, 3M double-sided tape, and aluminium tape to secure components and enable LED light installation without permanent gluing.
• Basic Decal Sheet — Authentic Subaru Impreza WRC decals are included to help you recreate the classic rally livery, or use them as a starting point for your custom design.
• Instruction Sheet — Comprehensive guidance is provided to ensure correct assembly and painting techniques, helping you achieve professional results even if this is your first body kit project.

Technical Performance

This body kit is engineered with precision to deliver authentic scale proportions and impressive detail reproduction. The 1/10 scale is the most popular standard for on-road RC cars in the UK, making this an excellent size for both collector displays and active running on smooth surfaces. The 257mm wheelbase and 190mm width measurements align with numerous popular 1/10 on-road chassis platforms, ensuring broad compatibility with existing builds. The clear polycarbonate material used in the bodyshell is durable and flexible, designed to withstand minor impacts during assembly and running without cracking. The inclusion of ABS plastic components—both chromed and black—demonstrates quality material selection, as ABS provides excellent detail reproduction and durability for parts that will be subject to handling and environmental exposure. The detailed engineering of components such as the light buckets, mirror assemblies, and aerodynamic pieces reflects Killerbody's expertise in producing bodies that combine scale accuracy with genuine visual appeal. The comprehensive masking materials and hardware included in the package ensure that builders can achieve professional-quality paint finishes without requiring extensive additional purchases. This is a complete solution for serious RC modellers who demand quality and detail in their builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Killerbody Subaru Impreza WRC 2007 body kit suitable for beginners? — Yes, this body kit is accessible to builders with basic assembly experience. The comprehensive instruction sheet and included components guide you through the process. However, painting and detailing require some skill or patience to achieve professional results. Beginners are encouraged to watch tutorial videos on body painting techniques before starting their project.
• What 1/10 on-road chassis does this body fit? — This body is designed for 1/10 on-road chassis with a wheelbase of 257mm and width of 190mm. Popular compatible platforms include many touring car and touring buggy chassis from major manufacturers. Always verify your chassis dimensions before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
• Do I need to paint this body kit? — Yes, the body arrives in clear unpainted form, which is intentional as it gives you complete freedom to design your own paint scheme. Without paint, the clear body is fragile and lacks the visual definition that makes the Impreza WRC design stand out. Painting is essential to complete the build.
• What painting techniques do you recommend for the clear bodyshell? — The included overspray film and window masks should be applied first to protect detailed areas. Use automotive-grade RC body paint or polycarbonate-specific paint, applied in thin coats from the inside of the body to avoid drips. Allow proper drying time between coats. A clear protective top coat is recommended for durability.
• Does this body include mounting holes pre-drilled? — No, the body arrives untrimmed with no mounting holes punched. This is standard for clear body kits as it allows builders to position holes according to their specific chassis. You'll need a body reamer or sharp craft knife to cut window openings and drill mounting holes as needed.
• What is the difference between this Killerbody kit and other Subaru Impreza WRC bodies available? — Killerbody is recognised as a specialist manufacturer focusing exclusively on high-quality RC body shells. This kit stands out for its comprehensive accessory package including detailed plastic components, professional masking materials, and complete hardware. The attention to authentic WRC design details makes it particularly appealing for scale enthusiasts who value accuracy and quality.
• Can I use LED lights with this body? — Yes, the kit includes LED stoppers and the transparent bodyshell is ideal for light installation. You'll need to source compatible LED light units and wiring separately, then install them inside the body using the provided stoppers and 3M double-sided tape for secure mounting without permanent adhesives.
• How durable is the clear polycarbonate material? — Polycarbonate is extremely durable and flexible, designed to withstand minor impacts during handling and running. Once painted, the protective paint layer adds additional durability. However, as with all RC bodies, significant impacts can cause cracks, particularly at stress points. Handle with care during assembly and storage.
• Is this body suitable for outdoor running on grass or dirt? — This is a 1/10 on-road body designed for smooth surfaces like tarmac, concrete, or indoor tracks. Grass and dirt running may cause grass and debris to accumulate on the underside. For predominantly outdoor or off-road use, consider purpose-built off-road bodies instead.
