3.13 The body must be made from a flexible material and be painted properly. All windows must remain clear and not be painted over or be semi-transparent.
3.14 Bodies are not to be cut above the lower bumper line at the front or the back or above the bottom line of the doors. Details of all front and rear lights, grills, air intakes and windows must be clearly contrasted from the surrounding paintwork.
3.15 Only the following AIR HOLES and sizes are permitted in the body shells:
One (1) hole, for cooling may be cut in the front windscreen, (not intruding on either the roof or bonnet), with a maximum opening of 50% of the total windscreen area.
15.00mm (maximum diameter) hole in the roof for glow plug access.
Both front side windows and the rear window can be removed for ventilation, except for the side rear windows, which must remain intact.
Re-fuelling hole, maximum 50.00mm diameter, to have a 5 mm spacing from the windscreen hole.
A hole with maximum diameter of 35.00mm is allowed just above the engine cooling head for easy glow plug access, and can not be combined with any other hole, minimum distance 5mm.
