SEASON PREPARATION

Even after the custom show In Cologne and the unwinding in the scooter strongholds, it doesn't get boring. The new season is sure to come.
So it is high time to tackle the projects that have already started or to look for new ones. Since the body and sheet metal work usually takes the longest, here are some of our highlights for the perfect Vespa restoration.

A lot has happened in the last few months, especially in the area of ​​sheet metal parts, and the supply of spare parts is - perhaps - better than ever.
So we can offer you pressed side panels in very good quality for the following models. Continue.

Pressed side hoods

Next to the fender the side panels of the Vespa will be particularly damaged over time. As a protruding body part, they are affected by every small bump or fall. Obtaining spare parts has been difficult, especially with the old models.

We are bidding now great side hoods which, like the original side panels, are pressed from one piece.

Available as a pair, the side panels are in incomparable good reproduction quality and indistinguishable from the original.
To show the great quality, the hoods are delivered unpainted and only oiled.

REPAIR FLOOR PANEL & FRAME STRUTS

If the rottenness of the decades has spread to your Vespa and the running board is infested, our repair floor panels or frame struts are the easiest way to save a frame that was previously scrapped. But even in the event of a fall, a new running board is worth considering. Especially since you then renovated the frame from the ground up and prepared it for the coming decades.

Before the Vespa repair floor pan is used, you should get a precise overview of the damage. The best way to do this is to blast the scooter. One of the crossbars is suitable as a cutting point for removing the old sheet metal, as the base sheet is reinforced here. Then drill out the welding points and remove the old running board. It is best to blast the spar and seal it with the appropriate means. The repair floor panel can then be adjusted and finally welded in. A job for the relevant experience or appropriate outsourcing partner are required!

This makes the step plate repair a fairly straightforward task.

The annoying and expensive production of the sheet metal part is no longer necessary and the repair floor panels can be welded in after comparatively little preparatory work.

FENDER

Thanks to their exposed position, the Vespa mudguards are usually the first sheet metal part that is affected by small bumps. And nothing is worse than a bent fender. The whole Vespa looks crooked. Fortunately, there are reproductions from Italy. These are pressed and only require minimal adjustment work before painting. If any.
