Re: DL 200 Electronic Sticker?
electronics always had a electronic badge, italy and UK. there were some original stickers left in Armandos scooters, i bought one a few (15) years ago from a stack with a rubber band around.most replica ones are incorrect.

Far eastern copy sidewinder seats are also urine proof and can be slumped in outside the news agents while cadging money for sherry.perfect for giving 15 year old girls a ride around the...
