Excellent work. Couple of things, what's the riding position like and on the engine panel, I would cut the rubber panel bead back to before the 'D' section. I feel it allows more air around the barrel and engine. Is there any chance of seeing the engine area. Once again well done and enjoy.

Riding position is bolt upright but even my lanky legs fit behind the handlebars ok and I'm over six foot.

I hear what you're saying about the rubber but the gap without it is pretty big. I'll try it and see.

There is a vespa PX on Flickr trying to replicate the original and it is fcking awful, the tag is vespa pepper. You need to check it out. I think it needs blown up and I hate criticising someone else's work, but this is a big NO.

oh dear, certainly no where near as nice as Armand's...........which incidentally has embarked on a 2500 mile trip round Europe earlier this week with a fellow club mate on his GTS. It was finally finished on the Sunday, left on the Tuesday and should be somewhere in Southern France I think by now heading along the coast to the Vespa museum in Italy....brave lad!!

Also overtook a convoy of lambrettas strapped to the back of camper vans. Most satisfying.
