Hi there! I have recently purchased a 1969 Vespa 125 Sprint which has a badly damaged rear badge which is probably a bit beyond repair. I have searched all over online for a new badge but have not been able to find one anywhere. Anyone out there know if there are any available anywhere?

I had a quick look at both Instagram and Facebook but didn't find anything. Bit tricky to know what to search for...

Thanks jackthekipper but I've only found 'Vespa Sprint' badges on both SIP and ebay - the badge I'm looking for is specifically '125 Sprint'. Pictures here: pin.it/7a5xV0iIt may be that this type of badge was produced for a limited market. I'm in Norway, and my scoot was first registered here in 2000, but I don't know where it was originally purchased. Could be Denmark, Sweden or Germany perhaps... |

It could just be that the market is too limited for anyone to bother making new badges for these... I could try and fix up the original badge I have - it is complete, but has some deep gouges and scratches (and is bent in several directions of course).
Another thing you'll notice on the link pictures is the weird grip colour - mine has the same grips which as far as I know are original. Not sure how to describe these - semi-translucent yellow-gray? Does anyone have any info on these 'non-standard' (ie not black/grey/white) grips? I'm keen to switch out all the rubber parts to black just because I think it'll look tidier (I know some of you out there will not agree...)
