Hi
Just going to start my build but Im at a loss what to do about Trim on the leg shield
My Build is has been made wider ant leg shield so I don't think a shaped Time will fit.. Its a black and Chrome/SS build so what to people think my options are?
Thanks
Martyn

instead of the ali trim ,the cloth look rubber trim , check out "woolies" ,  heres my v100 with the grey one ,an edge of managements cosa cut down with black one , an it looks good to leave of outer floor runner an run trim right back to rear of floor , H |

That grey on the v100 works particularly well, H. - Like that very much.

i'm lucky ,theres a photographer near me into vw campers ,he bought reels of trim from woolies n sells it by metres , allows me the off-cuts to take home an try for colour/match , you can also get plastic-chrome stuff which from 10 foot replicates the look of original ali trim , up close not so good tho,
an if wide-boy fancies tryin to get ali to fit his ,well ,buy 2 ,dont get cheap get good quality ,an buy a decent tool , you'll never get the first one right ,its a pig of a job on stock scoots ,most refuse to even attempt it , i wish i'd never , H

I've seen the rubber trims they do for the smallframe leggies, they look pretty acceptable, though not as thin and neat as on Henri's V100, like that  |

i did my spanish with the ali one ,as 1 came with it ,3rd ali trim ive tried too do, an despite watching videos of factory guys doing it,reading the vespa resto manual on how an taking tons of advise from guys who have done it ,i very nearly got it right , youve got to be within 3 foot to spot where i caught it wrong with the tool , next time if there ever is it'l be 100% , H

not all together there isnt , it would get dated pretty fast as situations an shops go up n down for service n reliability, the trend seems to be somebody starts good gets popular an then gets too big/busy to maintain top service , best just to ask for what ya after in tech section an see what options/opinions the guys throw in , H
