I recently 'restored' my li125 so that it is now an sx185 in a colour that was never available on lambrettas, but I like it. My next one will be along the same lines just because I'm not that bothered about complete originality. I just like them to look 'standard' even if they're not.

Just do whatever makes you happy - by the way, I like that 125 special metallic blue but the one in your pictures has the wrong sidepanels on.

So my lovely green panels are the correct ones then?

Starting to strip the horrid textured paint off with paint stripper and the original blue is now coming through.
Might also get the horn cover chromed
