carbon fibre effect or colour coded undertray
Hi all, going to be buying an powerbronze undertray for the SV. We have the choice of the carbon fibre effect or a blue colour coded undertray.
Just can't make our minds up which would look better as i've not seen any pics of the carbon fibre effect undertray fitted to an SV. Just wanted some thoughts on this  It would be great if anyone had some pics of either colour fitted. Cheers, Martin |

CF effect is both Bad and Wrong, or so I'm told.
 I would personally go for colour matched or just plain black. |

Deffo agree with the above 2 posts. I bought a carbon effect hugger and it looked awful. It was only on the bike for a week before i sold it. I think a colour matched tray looks better than black.

As others have said, if you cant get real carbon, then dont bother, fake carbon lots horrible.
Go for the coloured one I would

No great lover of carbon fibre myself and so would never consider a copy type material. I do have a carbon hugger on the Ducati which does actually look ok.

Ditto all the above, go with colour coded. The 'carbon effect' is normally a sprayed on pattern which looks sooo naff
