Hi

Anyone know what the three holes in my door was used for? I have no luck finding any trim or so using google... See photo.

Hmmm.. Maybe some form of trim embellishment or reflectors added by a previous owner? Never seen that before.

I can't tell there is nothing to gauge size on embellishment. Is it rounded or shaped to fit door?

I have restored a couple of VNB Vespas, and those holes should not be there. The previous owner probably fitted something there.

That's what I was thinking. It should be easy enough to look at an original parts manual to see that they aren't there.
