Scarlatti are doing a 20% discount on parts for November, just enter promo code nv12 in checkout section to get it.
Just ordered some parts for mine, now to see how long they take to get to Oz. Hopefully before Xmas.

They're the only place I've seen that sells all the parts I want as well as the radiator covers.

Anybody know what the quality is like? Rather get all the pieces from the same place in one lot, otherwise freight costs a fortune to get it to Oz.
Old thread but i just want to warn people what they might be in for if you buy through TrendItaly . Well first hand i can tell you the quality of the rear hugger/chainguard is crap! Do not buy from trend italy , very dissapointed. The carbon is poor quality,the finish is not even average and its sooooo thin you can see straight through,very flimsy and it needs strengthening with a fourth bolt hole on the right hand side. Now surprisingly the 3 bolt holes actually line up , so i am thinking this is a good start. Wrong, then i check the clearance between the rear hugger and tyre and the hugger is sitting on the tyre :x So you will need to do a lot of work to get this to fit and be rigid . Waste of money :angry: :angry: :angry:

No worries mate i will fix it up and tap a new hole in the swinger and add some spacers here and there, just annoys me anything i get out of italy usually takes a lot of work :nod: silly of me to expect something that costs around $300au should fit straight on and be of good quality material

Sorry to hear of your dilemma Ozz. Hope it's not too much knuckle skin to get it sorted.
I've just bought a key guard from IGT and hope I don't get the same crap. I'll let everyone know how it looks when it arrives in 6 months...lol.

Now that its on it looks ok and i got a good gap between the tyre and hugger, around 25mm so am happy with that. Just needed to raise the hugger by that amount with a new bracket. I will probabaly use a stainless tie on the right side which i had left over from my rear header pipe wrap :happyhappy:

Gap now is good , carbon layers are a bit patchy looking but its not really in youre face ,now just need to secure the right sidealthough it would probabaly be ok but a fixing of some sort would make it completely rigid and should not move.

Hi mate, i found part of the cause of the problems with my hugger ,rear tab was out of alignment although not bent so i guess it came that way from factory, just letting people know so they can make the right choice , you may not have any problems with the trend italy piece but i am still glad i got it, the hugger really tidies things up and stops all those small stone chips. 8) good luck

Just a word of warning for anyone outside of Italy if you intend on buying any carbon parts from modelcompositi , i just received my refund from a paypal claim that i opened because it seems that modelcompositi would much rather have your money than supply your part. Anyway after 3 months with little or no communications with this person about the whereabouts of my carbon lower and a few laim excuses i decided to make a claim and was refunded my full payment which was over $400 so i am happy not to be dealing with modelcompositi any more. If you were one that received your part from him consider yourself lucky! fwiw
