Lexan cockpit manufactured by Sideways specifically for the Lancia Beta Montecarlo. A lightweight piece that reproduces the interior cabin and perfectly complements the bodywork, ideal for those seeking a refined finish without adding unnecessary grams.
The lexan cockpit that the Sideways Lancia Beta Montecarlo deserves
This lexan cockpit (reference SWBM/E) is the official spare part and accessory from Sideways specifically designed to fit their Lancia Beta Montecarlo model. Made from lexan, the same lightweight and durable material used for competition bodies, it keeps the overall weight of the assembly to a minimum without compromising the reproduction of the interior cockpit.
Main features
- Lexan material: lightweight, flexible, and resistant to typical track impacts.
- Specific fit: exclusively designed for the Sideways Lancia Beta Montecarlo, ensuring a precise fit without modifications.
- Official reference: SWBM/E, direct spare part from the brand.
Function and performance
The cockpit serves a dual purpose: on one hand, it visually reproduces the interior of the cockpit to add realism to the model; on the other, being made from lexan, it does not penalise the total weight of the car, something that tuners particularly value when working on balance and centre of gravity adjustments. It is a piece designed for both those looking to replace a damaged cockpit and those building the car from scratch with a competitive mindset.
Compatibility
Compatible exclusively with the Sideways Lancia Beta Montecarlo model. Before placing your order, check that your version of the model corresponds to this cockpit, as Sideways may have body variants with different cockpit references.
Assembly and preparation
Assembly is straightforward and does not require special tools. If you plan to paint or customise it before installation, lexan accepts specific paints for this material; we recommend using paints from the Tamiya or Vallejo ranges adapted for flexible plastic to ensure good adhesion without cracking.
Ideal for…
- Enthusiasts looking to replace the original cockpit of their Sideways Lancia Beta Montecarlo.
- Tuners aiming to keep weight controlled without sacrificing interior detail.
- Modellers who wish to customise and paint the cockpit for a more realistic finish.
