Hi All,
Just bought a 64ym Lambretta TV175 Mk3. The side panels on the thing are horrible - buckled, bent, badge holes poorly welded up. Front mudguard is a glassfiber replacement one of course broken - and needs thus to be replaced.
So I got my eyes on ScootRS side panels:

And front mudguard

The current $-exchange rate makes them quite price worthy.
Has anyone out there got any experience from these parts ?
Are they any good ?
Regards
Ola N

dunno but i used fiberglass panels ,from john churchill in the past very well made and 2 panel and mudguard cost me £110

It says on the page that they are new pressings... and they look very good
previous nam ones (not from scootrs) were GP panels that had been panel beaten and welded - these obviously arent them or else Randall wouldnt have put up a photo of a bare panel with no weld in it if the product he sold did have welds!
I would take a punt on them Ola
I have a pair of the Lambretta Body Bits ones that are made in UK they were £100 each and looked like the ones in the picture. They were nice and flat and smooth and simply needed flatting back before painting
Cheers,

I have bought a pair off the new machine stamped ones. They are very good ann wel worth the money!
The front mudgard are hammer beaten and useless for me, so that was not worth the money...

No I haven't.
I am not able to open that forum cause I'm not a member. Can you give a short hint off the story on there?
I have a brand new sparepart inocenti frame I am planed to use, so I can cheek fitments on them on a new frame still packed in inocenti paper within a few days.

From the LCUSA site and daveinportland...
I took the chance and bought a pair. Shipping costs as much as the panels, instantly doubling the price.
The stamped panels look okay except for two issues.
1 They are too short
2 They are not drilled for badges or flashes
Aside from the appearance, the shortness is a problem when mounting them onto the scooter. The latches will not reach the spring. Fortunately, I had an old spare so I bent it up so the latches could reach it.
The gap is bigger than it appears in the photo. (TWSS)
