Can this plastic piece be removed to wrap?

[NoTyme]

I would like to wrap this glossy black plastic piece pictured here. It looks all scratched up and I think the best way to make it look better is to wrap it.

Try a carbon fiber on that area.

That is one thing I have noticed on my new bike, is how easy the plastics are scratching!!! What the heck!!

Do you really need to remove it to wrap it??

I've seen lots of wraps put on panels like that without removing them, and they still look pretty good - just as good, if not better, than those where the panel's been removed to wrap it!

I have never done a "wrap" before, so I am searching for answers... it seems you are not the first to say wrap it, but can it be done without removal?

Yes, it can be wrapped without removal. 'Wrap My Spyder' have clear paint protection wrap or carbon fibre look-alike wraps for that panel.

This may sound a bit odd, but the last few days, coming home from work around 4:30 in the afternoon, the sun hits just where the reflection is hitting me in the eyes. Dang near blinding. I had also moved my cup holder from its previous spot, as it partially blocked the mirror. The dang chrome top of it also reflect the sun. I colored it black with a sharpie. lol

Take it to one of those paint protection places. They can put a wrap on it.

My newly acquired 22 F3L is gloss black. I am likely going to use clear film from Pete at wrapmyspyder.com for many of the horizonal surfaces that are most subject to being scratches, such as the top case, service panels and adjacent areas. I think clear film is easier to apply than sticky back wrap, and preserves the gloss black colour.

Hi NoTyme,

Try Slingmods.com for carbon fiber.

To answer your question, yes, it can be removed. Both side panels and the ignition switch bezel need to be removed first. Not hard at all.

I'm sure you can find a wrap that would cover that piece.

It's actually a very easy procedure to do if you take your time and develop a good technique.
