Sonny r 125 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 had a slight spill on my r 125 and is gonna cost me near on a grand to replace all the panels on the left side and top of tank. but as only 2 panals are actually broken and rest just a bit scratched up i thought i may be cheaper to just replace the broken panels and then have it all sprayed. if i do end up getting it sprayed i thought i would go for the 2009 fiat paint job (might as well ay). anyone have any idea what sort of price i would be looking at. obviously if its cheaper to replace all panels then i will do that.

Why not go to a bike plastic/paint repairer ? your plastics & tank could be well cheaper than buying bits & having them sprayed ... I just had the XJ900 plastics repaired (fairing cracked & scuffed, front mudguard scuffed) they were repaired & painted to OEM on top of that I took in 2 FS1 tanks 2 sets of side panels, 2 seat tails and both sides of the lower fairing for the 900... total cost £270 so I guess a repair would be cheaper rather than new panels and repainting them unless you want to customize your bike but still you could use the old bits repaired & painted rather than new & repainted.

Regards Jim I was only going to replace the panels that can't be repaired and keep most of the panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be well stuffed if the panels cannot b repaired ! Is there 90% of the damaged panals remaining ? If so a plastic repairman can make them good. The point I was making is you could have a few bits repaired with the remaining good bits painted to the spec you want for less than buying a few new bits Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main damage is a big chunk of plastic missing around the headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
