So I got my new bits today, the git lied the new mudguard is carbon fibre and I don't like the look, opinions please;

New one.....

Attachment 11405

Old one......

Attachment 11406

Still think the old one looks better even with the damage......

Attachment 11407

Not sure about the rear hugger either as I now have a massive piece of plastic where my nice shiny chain guard used to be.....

Attachment 11408

I look forward to all the abuse!

Is it actual carbon fibre or fake?

Eithe ray I suggest getting it painted.

if you don't like it blow it over gloss black, or even better a bit of creative masking, then blow it over leaving a stripe or something in carbon visable.

is that disc lock damage ?

Cheers Mark.

Gloss black looks better imo.

GB for me too, But i do like Mark's suggestion of a stripe or something!

Hugger = practicality over looks imo

Yeah the numpty I bought it from had a schoolboy moment! Am planning to spray it black, but not myself had a dabble with spraying a few years ago on an old ntv 650 and it did not go well!

Anyone know of somewhere local I could get it done, or any of you ninja with a spray can?

It's a new thing mate. I would recommend putting it on for a week and seeing how you feel afterwards. Sometimes these things have to grow on you, like scabies.
