    Bought off a friend for a measly £300 20798 miles, still runs the original 50 engine from 2005 :) had its a few owners (4) ;) few little learner bumps and scrapes :glare: very shot gianelli reverse, im spraying it black with carbon fibre goodies (headlights, lenses, side scoops, rear spoiler/grab rail and front mud gaurd & transmission casing then a nice 70cc kit and probly a yasuni C16 with a K&N style air filter (when summer comes). But before all this she needs to pass her MOT ;) i think its a pretty good bargin for £300 it still does 65mph with only the rollers upping the time to hit that speed. Progress will be updated as soon as work is finished and maybe pictures along the way :) a couple of photos also for you guys :cheers:

    [​IMG] <- day i bought her :grin:

    [​IMG] <- fitted these the other day :grin:

    also is there any big faults with these scoots, with them been piaggio i wouldnt think so ;)

    was going to say dont do fake carbon its tacky as burberry baseball caps.

    those pans are nice if they are in the same condition the picture depict.

    id consider painting the rear royal blue like the front

    yeah fire your on point with that :pimp: the rear silver panels would look sick in that same blue :p, then paint your rear hugger silver, metal footplates and that metal cover thing in the panel on side (soz about lack of gilly knowlege)

    If you spray them same colour as the front panel and then get a jackup kit and chrome loads of parts, this bike would look nuts! :grin:

    what is it wiht people ay?

    DONT spray the pans just to change how it is, for the sake of modifying it./... mistake BIGTIME. you got a set of spankin runner pannels (rare thing these days) if you wanna change em then part ex a set of rough pan's for you to spray. even if its just the rears... no point fucking good pans. i dont think it looks bad atall how they are tbh.

    old shape grab rail/indi lenses, a newlyt coverd seat, few choice mods, polish the wheel lip's and bung a nice set of forks on there, will soon look better rather than worse than when you bought it

    GOOD FIND at the end of the day, enjoy it, dont kill it :)

(unless you buy vxs and get a jackeup)

    Don't put renthals on :confused: and don't get a pm360 pipe.. Rebuild the engine with crank, bearings, seals...Motorforce racing if your skint..a c16 2nd hand of german ebay and a 21 oko carb and a polini variator and some other drive goodies if you can afford it... Should be cheap and give you loads of power :rolleyes:

    if your skint dont fucking tune a ped... when WILL these idiot kids learn? STOP TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO DO WITH THERE ENGINE.

    fact ios, if you cant afford the best kit, you probably cant afford to look after the cheapest kit, so leave your engine alone and get a god 20000k out of the crank...

    why oh why is it always you saying "throw a carb, a pipe, new crank, blah blah blah" at everything? just shut up already :confused:
