In comparison, which bug body is narrower from outside of door to outside of door? I had a CKRC, but it seemed wide compared to other comp bodies, but very thick HD lexan, which is nice.

How does the Proline compare?:?

I like the proline version out of the HPI..CKRC..and proline bodies I have tried,
another thing I like about the proline is the front hood has a nice ridged curve to it and seems to hold up and protect the servo a little better.

proline comes with film outside witch is a nice touch.

Here's my Pro-Line VW...

Pro-Line is the lightest and norrow-est of the Bug bodies out there. It also has a shallow slant on the Front window, letting the body sit lower on the frame, ugly engine.
Parma and CKRC are wide, CKRC is heavy and a steep slant on window, split rear window. Parma has a longer roof line from base of front window to rear = more room for frame and can sit lower, has sun roof outline on top and very large rear window.
Hope this helps someone buying a body soon.

Better shot of My Proline Bug, went for realism on the paint cause I have only seen shiny ones at car shows...
