Styling the Imola seat + new paint scheme

It's no secret that i am not a big fan of the seat concerning overall finish and shaping quality…

Together with my friend and Imola seat owner Niko i figured out an appropriate way of masking and painting the seat to match the SC as good as possible

Pics with the seat cover mounted will follow…

Look here…

Yellow with black stripes is the absolutely best combination I've seen on the Imola seat/tail, definitely looks the period, congratulations.

Light at the end of the tunnel… no train!

No the battery box has to go + the rectifier gets positioned on a separate plate where the battery was before…
