Not sure I'd go for any of the options so far... keep trying. :smt002

What about an all red fairing with approriate logos etc. and a silver tank and tail-piece?

Mind you, I have an urge to paint mine bright orange with a big black stripe down the middle. :smt004 :smt007 ...so feel free to completely ignore anything I say! :smt040

Admirable photoshopping though. :smt003

I do like the silver pan, (couldnt get the right colour match in CS2, but it shows the idea)! :smt003
Think I will return the red Aprilia logo on the pan after if/when I respray it.
Looks like Im after a tail piece and both mid sections... :smt009
Anyone?... :smt006
Two is the magic number... ;)

Do it all silver and do the red rim tape, looks classy. Can't get away with the others schemes i'm afraid. I quite like the lions head tho.

The rim tape looks excellent if you spend the time to t-cut the paint on the wheels then polish them up till they're like mirror shiny. Its a bit of a tarts thing but it looks mint. I got A-Z stickers on the hill to do my rim tape, got it cut to 5.5mm as I thought the stock stuff off the shelf was too thick. Did both the red I had previously and the silver I've just had done to me refurbed wheels (which is a match for the silver on the bike....sad!!).

I'm gonna get the graphics kit for the rear hugger I think and yet again i'm debating on whether or not to put the belly pan back on! :smt017

@ Bigun; Yeah I thought the stripes you get from shops all seem a bit thick. Will deffo check out the graphics shop on t'hill when I get chance!
I also though about getting a hugger decal kit too. Might do my own design though...
anyone notice the subtle use of black on the tail unit? :smt002
Sharpens the look of the back end imo. :smt003
