Loving the rim and engine case treatments, how much did that run you? If you don't mind me asking. |

this is bar far one of the sickest Vespas I have seen in a looooong time. The ghost flames look awesome, and I can't believe how nice the white walls look.

change of heart
To be truthful, I'm not normally a fan of "whitewalls", but the 'coated wheels really set them off, and...I like it! Very well executed.
Oh, and the award for Best Value in Powdercoating by a supporting MV member goes to...YOU! Yup, thats a rockin' price on that and your scoots a beaut! |

Awesome looking Beauty.Hey by the way what is that mustard yellow object just above your exhaust? Bracket of some type? That could use a shot of black paint.I don't see much of anything more you can do to make your Vespa any better looking,except possibly painting the vents on the glove box sides a red or chrome.Great job,I love it.........
PS-count yourself lucky your wife is willing to share you with the other sexy girl in your life! Got to luv the Vespa with all it's curves/beauty.... Tim |
