DaveHudson Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 After 2 kind gents let me sit in their narrow body and wide body variants at the Derby/Notts meet, I now know that my a^$e is definately not 'narrow bodied' and is still probably a little bigger than 'wide bodied'. If I'm after a wide bodied westfield, is it as simple as making sure any advertised car I look at is not a 'pre-lit' model and does have a 'W' in its description? Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studbuckle Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 You need a W in the model. SEW live axle Wide Body SEiW Independant Wide Body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Not necessarily. Now that all cars are wide bodies, I think the factory have dropped the 'W' designation. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcoopers Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 All wide bodies has a "scallop" at shoulder level taken out of the tub on either side. Also the rear lights have a slight reces into the tub. Pre lits are very early, and have flat shouldered rear arches. Good luck, MArk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveHudson Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 OK thanks fellas, I think I'll have a look thru some piccies to find these 'scallops'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recess for the lights only appears on wide body fixed arch cars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markcoopers Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Important lesson here..... Normally when asked this I just say about the scallops, as I have never noticed the rear light recesses before. However I always see them mentioned in responce to this question, so I thought sod it i'll cover both. Clearly if you don't know what you're talking about you should be quiet. But next time...........I'm ready with the definative answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Seabrook Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Oh is that why Blatters is always saying do a search. It’s cos he doesn’t know. Evnin Mr B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
