Nicely done Jake , what mirrors are they ? And does the sports seat lower your riding position ?
They're the SIP shorty mirrors. I had them on my Elettrica and loved them. If anything, I prefer the Primavera style as they tuck in even further due to the round mirror itself being narrower.
They keep the same style, but they're roughly in line with the handlebars which makes it easier squeezing through traffic, as I've got a fixed visual point for how wide the Vespa is.
I hadn't considered the seat might be lower... it's definitely a different feel as you have a bit of support behind your lower back, which makes you feel a bit more attached!

Why not car wax? Less messy if you bump into it.
I'll have a look through the garage and see what I have. As the Vespa is matte black, I've got to be careful that products don't touch the paintwork - so ideally I need to apply something using a cloth.
