as i have already mentioned i have managed to get, finally, some replacement panels for my damaged ones..
and as im paying to have them colourmatched i fancied just making it a touch different some how..
here are 2 ideas i like at the moment.. no doubt they will change when it comes to spray day...
one i have the airscoop body shape done black the other its the opposite leave it blue and have the surround black...
oh and both have the D shape part round the radiator in black.

the d round the rads looks a good idea, bit unsure round the airscoops tho on both pics

I'd leave em blue.
But then I'm old enough to remember the mat black car bonnet craze!!

im also open to any suggestions...
im doing something different to them before the replacement panels go on the bike...
i always like to give the bike a personal touch to set it off from the standard look.

I like the look radiator bits done ,not too sure about the uppers though,poss just cos its different
Maybe a pic head on would be good ,rather than just the side

It's the top two pics for me , but even then i'm not too sure about it
I do like the part next to radiators painted though
I also think that colour of blue suits the chrome/stainless mesh in the airscoops as ive seen in other pics

Put some gold mesh in the "air intakes" too - get it from B&Q and looks good IMHO

I like the rad scoop but the frontal is air scoop is not my bag.
