@ Gaz Beat me to it.... Seriously though, there is no single answer. Some shops are better than others, but make sure it's a proper shop with a physical presence (check adverts in Scootering) rather than a fly by night ebay chancer as there is no come back with those. I use Twisted Rods and Beedspeed out of preference.

hi and welcome buzzsolomoto = fleebay or halifax. twisted rods fleebay or up north somewhere. beedspeed = grimsby fleebay and they have a web site ive found all good for anything if your buying bling i wouldn't recommend buzz for bling unless you go to there shop and look at it first ive had pritty poor quality bling item from them recently but other items have been good quality.i will say look at the prices of new in the shops first as quite often its cheeper new. bidders on fleebay get carried away and pay too mutch some sellers charge well over the odds

Twisted Rods are in South Wales, not the North If you're after chrome body parts, the best and cheapest plan is to buy new replacement parts and take them to a platers yourself. Oh, and if anyone starts bragging they're "triple dipped" or "triple plated"..... they ALL are! It just sounds good.

Also SIP Germany, postage is pretty cheap now and they have a good rep for quality products. In the uk as said Beedspeed (though they do sell some rubbish), Welsh scooter parts, Twisted Rods, Allstyles all good but really depends what you need.

I've ordered a couple of times from www.scooter-center.com/ in Germany. Sometimes you could get OEM parts quite reasonable price. Gaskets for example. Or something which you didn't even know you needed at first place. Don't get fooled when they say "OEM Quality", it's totally different than OEM part. There has to be mentioned brand "Piaggio", then it's original part. But don't bother contact them, nor give feedback. They surely don't bother to give you an answer. Maybe they are just busy, but I think it is a bit annoying.
