Sportier look for Vespa rear ends
German specialist SIP Scootershop has designed a styling update for the standard 2023 and up Vespa GTS / GTS Super / GTV 125-310 cc licence plate holder. It raises the plate higher, showing more rear tyre " for an even sportier and more contemporary look without compromising the Vespa ' s classic elegance," says CEO Ralf Jodl. Ralf says that although the standard licence plate holder fits perfectly and is practical, he reckons that Piaggio has left something on the table in terms of its styling. " There is definitely some room for improvement in terms of looks, in an area of the motorcycle that designed to do exactly that- attract looks. Reason enough for us to go into series production with an SIP licence plate holder design that is made of highquality ABS plastic and includes LED licence plate illumination." Precisely finished, this licence plate holder guarantees a long service life and a perfect fit. The untreated surface provides an ideal basis for customised painting, so the holder can also be painted to suit the rider ' s taste. The e-approved licence plate lighting is from KOSO and the reflector with E-number ensure excellent visibility of the licence plate. The precision fitting design makes for an easy, modification free, fully reversible installation.
