Original side-panel rubbers were always supplied in either black or grey, according to the scooters original colour.
The different versions are available in various lengths and profiles, according to model or series. ARIETE supplies high quality side-panel rubbers.
Similarly, the "Vintage" rubbers are of high quality . The surface of the rubber is really nice rough and they can be adjusted to any desired shape. The color is matt held ,which is very close to the original rubber. "Made in Germany"
We also have a range of more reasonably priced reproduction side-panel rubbers available in a variety of colours. (blue, green, red and yellow)
The rubbers must be cut to the required lengths before fitting (apart from for the PX models) as we deliver them in one piece (see article description).
SIP-TIP:
- Lightly grease the contact edges of the side-panels before fitting your new rubbers. This helps keep them securely in place, for good.
Which color suits my scooter?
We have tried to avoid subjective designations of light gray, dark gray, etc. for the gray tones and to assign them to RAL Classic tones. RAL shades are international, can be found online or are best compared with a RAL Colour Chart, e.g. SIP Art. no. 98889900. But even there are different opinions as to which shade of gray best corresponds to which RAL shade. Nevertheless, we believe that this classification makes it easier to order rubbers of the same shade.
- Pebble, agate and silk gray rubbers look good on Vespas with original paint, as they come closer to the color of weathered rubber.
- Light gray rubbers work well on restored and newly painted scooters. (RAL gray tones see article download)
- Pale green corresponds to the ACMA color for newly painted models
- we have had moss gray produced especially for ACMA Patina Models to match the old paints and rubber shades
