CIK European Style KG Bodywork

We have designed this page to help you choose the proper bodywork for your kart.  
This information is current as of August 2003 with regards to organizations rules.  
See below for review of IKF & WKA rules.  SKUSA & STARS both allow 2003 bodywork.
The international sanctioning body CIK/FIA has homologated new bodywork for the 2003 to 2008 seasons.  New 2003 model year CIK legal karts will come with this new bodywork.  It has gone through a crash testing procedure and is stamped with the CIK approval.
