Clear Parts and Transparent Components for Fantasy Car 02 GT3 Body

Original Sideways Clear Parts for the Fantasy Car 02 GT3 — reference SWFC02D

When the clear parts of a slot car accumulate scratches or break after a track impact, the appearance of the car is immediately affected. This spare kit SWFC02D from Sideways includes all the transparent parts of the Fantasy Car 02 GT3: front windshield, side windows, rear window, and headlight and tail light lenses. Parts specifically manufactured for this body, with no adaptations or trimming.

Function and Features of the Kit

The thermoplastic material used by Sideways in these parts combines two key properties for competitive slot racing: high transparency, which highlights the detail of the cockpit and the figure of the driver, and low weight, which prevents overloading the upper part of the body. Reducing mass in the upper area is always a factor in favour of stability in fast corners, especially in track configurations with sharp direction changes.

• Front windshield, side windows, and rear window included.
• Lenses for front headlights and rear lights.
• Manufactured from lightweight, high-clarity thermoplastic.
• Designed and toleranced for the exact frame of the Fantasy Car 02 GT3.

Compatibility

This kit is specific to the Fantasy Car 02 GT3 body from Sideways. It is not interchangeable with other bodies in the range, as each model has its own set of clear parts with different geometry. If you have doubts about which reference of clear parts corresponds to your body, check the code engraved inside your model or review the official spare parts list from Sideways.

Assembly and Preparation

Adhesion is done from the inside of the body. For a clean and durable result, clean both surfaces of dust and grease before applying the adhesive. Use adhesives specifically formulated for clear plastics, designed not to whiten or attack the thermoplastic: low-viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesives applied in minimal amounts work well, although it is advisable to test on a less visible edge before adhering the entire assembly. Once cured, the bond withstands motor vibrations and light track impacts without issue.

In the case of the lenses, some preparers opt to backlight them with small LEDs for night exhibition competitions. The material is compatible with this customization without the need for prior treatment.

Common Mistakes

• Using excessive adhesive: the minimum amount is sufficient and avoids overflow that stains the visible area.
• Not cleaning the surfaces: any residue of grease or dust compromises long-term adhesion.
• Confusing clear part references: always check that the kit corresponds to the exact model of your Sideways body.

Ideal for…

This spare part is perfect for three specific situations: the assembly of a white body kit for the Fantasy Car 02 GT3, the restoration of a model that has suffered damage to the clear parts after race days, and the preparation of a second set of spare clear parts to have on hand in the pit during a club competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit include all the clear parts of the body or just the windshield?

The SWFC02D kit includes the complete set of transparent parts for the Fantasy Car 02 GT3: front windshield, side windows, rear window, and headlight and tail light lenses. There is no need to purchase additional parts to complete the assembly.

Is it compatible with other GT3 bodies from Sideways?

No. Each body from Sideways has its own set of clear parts with specific geometry. The SWFC02D is designed exclusively for the Fantasy Car 02 GT3 and does not fit other models in the range without modifications.

What adhesive is most suitable for attaching these clear parts?

Low-viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesives are the most commonly used in slot racing for this type of work. Apply the minimum possible amount from the inside of the frame and avoid contact or epoxy adhesives, which can leave visible residues or attack the clear plastic.

Can I paint the lenses to simulate tinted glass?

Yes. Many preparers apply tinted varnishes or translucent modelling paints — such as those from the Tamiya or Vallejo ranges — to the inside of the lenses to achieve that effect. The thermoplastic accepts this type of treatment well without losing adhesion.

Are these clear parts valid for official competition?

As they are original parts from Sideways for this body, they meet the requirements for stock components in categories that demand standard parts. Check the specific regulations of your championship to confirm.
