Option 3 it is then. It's my fav of the 3 too.

Thoughts on the lower section of vinyl being carbon fibre effect to match with the tail undertray?

Either that or just a satin or matt finish black or dark grey.

Loving option three. If you can match the two carbon effects that would look great!

Little update...

I've now got all the vinyl I need to complete my fairing This il likely do next week. But for now, I found some time yesterday to wrap my fork guards. And tbh, they came out better than expected! The wrap is a really good colour match. Also installed my freshly powder coated brake line support.

So... my fairing is basically done!

I finally got around to adding the vinyl wrap on Saturday and got the fairing bolted to the bike on Sunday. The whole process has taking me a little longer than expected, mainly due to limited funds at the mo (buying first house).

All in all, pretty happy with it. Although i need to do something about the stripes as i don’t think they work with the fairing as it stands. I either need to add a white stripe onto the blue vinyl to match the tank/cowl or replace the tank/cowl stripes with something to match the fairing, perhaps a wide brushed aluminium or silver stripe. OR i re-wrap the fairing extending the blue to cover the exposed aluminium!!

Here’s some photos and a cheeky walk-around vid

Next job is to have the front wheel out for a tyre change and respray.

That looks pretty darn good.

Although I agree it needs something... perhaps just a little detailing around the colour block edges, as per your mock-up.
