Anywhere that sells custom plastics?? By illwill420 (Read 1,464 times)

Hi guys...

Recently my lil scoot got stolen...amazingly enough due to a locking gas cap preventing the thief from refueling it, my baby was recovered but they smashed the crap out of the front faring to get to the ignition switch (instead of using the tool kit they stole from underneath the seat)

Long story short, I was able to find locally an exact replacement for the front fairing,except from a small triangular plastic piece in the middle. At this point it's a bit of an eyesore but nothing that a little piece of plastic could fix.....but, I'd like to personalize my scoot a little bit and though if I could find some sort of plastic piece I could put in there to make it look spiffy.

Sooo,anyone know somewhere that sells custom plastic pieces? I've googled a bunch of different things...custom fairings, fairing accents, etc. but haven't really come across anything. So if anyone out there in scooterland knows a site or a dealer I'd greatly appreciate a link to it.

Thanks!

Anyone???

No about the only one are chrome pieces to chrome you scoot. It would be good to know the scoot you have as well as a picture of it and the piece that is missing.

there's nobody really selling that center piece cover, if you order them online,it comes with the entire front fairing , it's pretty expensive.
if you are a little artistic you can use Bondo body filler ,you can shape that front piece however you want.,after you're done with molding you need to do a lot of sanding to smoothen the surface then apply 3 coats of paint of your choice,then spray some clear gloss for added protection,and prevents the color from fading.

good luck!!

Yeah I priced the replacement piece before I went to the local "scooter graveyard",they wanted almost 200.00 for the front fairing,so I was quite lucky to actually have found the exact same piece (minus the smaller plastic part). My scoot is a United Motors Xpeed 50 (Minarelli JOG engine). I'll post pics maybe tomorrow after class. Thanks for the responses guys!

Okay I wanted to post a pic of the fairing so yall could see the piece that I'm missing but forgot you need to host the file....sooo,where do you guys put your pics that you post on here?

[DrRocco]

If the part you need is small, consider having one made by a 3D printing service.

[illwill420]

LOL, not quite what I was asking there.

[illwill420]

I just wanted to put a pic of the missing piece (okay not the missing piece,if I had that to take a pic of I wouldn't need to post in this thread now would I?) so do you guys use something like Photobucket or is there a way to upload like you can with your avatar?

[LUKE]
