Lexan Interior for the Sideways Ford GT GT3: Genuine Detail in Every Curve
The SWFGTE lexan interior from Sideways is the specific replacement designed for the Ford GT GT3 from the brand.

Sideways is a brand recognised for the meticulous detail in its models. Its interiors are not just any decorative element: they are designed to fit precisely into the corresponding body, ensuring that the presentation of the car on track is as polished as its performance.

Compatibility
This interior is exclusively compatible with the Sideways Ford GT GT3. Before purchasing, ensure that your body corresponds to the correct model from the brand to guarantee a hassle-free installation.
Assembly and Preparation
The lexan accepts acrylic paint very well when applied from the inside, a common technique in slot preparation to achieve a clean finish without visible marks from the outside. If you prefer to paint from the outside, any good-flowing modelling acrylic will work correctly. We recommend cleaning the part with isopropyl alcohol before applying any layer of paint to improve adhesion.
Ideal for…

It is also a useful resource for preparers working with multiple configurations of the same chassis and wishing to have interchangeable interiors.
