is that a replacement plastic front mudguard Tim?

[Timbo]

No Chris it's not, I thought the brown was filler but it's possibly a base paint. The picture is little deceptive as there's not much bare metal....it was painted cheaply and amateurish to cover up a few dents...

Looking better already with that black paint off...

I'd just look for an original mudguard surround and attach that- doesn't matter if its rusty or not. Adds to the bike IMO and detracts from the damage/ bad respray area.

I should experiment on a little bit first and wear Marigolds because the evaporating alcohol will make your fingers very cold.

But will get your nail varnish off quick

I might have an old mudguard surround you can have if interested. Let me know and I'll have root around

[Timbo]

Would be interested to see what yu have, cheers. Should have all the black off tomorrow so will see how it looks..

[Shipleystevep]

You can have this, good nick but modern and too blingy IMO also you can't have the AA badge (sentimental value)







Or this which I think would look ok, it's an original I think,came off a '66 Eibar I restored a few years ago. It's beat up but would look ok on yours.

Any road, just let me know you can have one for the price of postage.
