odds and sods box #1
My first box of cheap Vespa knock off bits has arrived from Vietnam via an order I placed on www.scootrs.com. Overall, most of the parts look good, and are much cheaper than the items that they have attempted to copy, (except for their attempt at a rear light gasket). I'd write them an email complaining that some of the cast bits were less than perfect and that they still need some buffing, but im afraid that a sweatshop worked might get beaten, and I dont want to screw it up for the rest of the western world who rely on said shops for cheap tools and tracky dacks.

If this is the first box, how many have you ordered?

I've got another box of bits on the way, and a glove box (which does'nt come standard on this model), oh anonymous one *8)
have you tried SCOMO?
Um... I have now... (http://www.scomo.net)
Site looks good, parts look more expensive that www.scootrs.com but the parts are probably genuine (or better quality).

Hi Drew,
any news about the quality of the scootrs parts? The scomo stuff might be called original, but not original italian. Original LML indian. Hhhmm...
Not sure....

Jörn,
The parts i've got from scootrs aren't too bad really. Their not perfect but their enough to fiddle with to get them that little bit better.
Their also cheap woohoo!
