@oldman Mad, I bet they were not cheap!

[oldman]

£70 odd quid exc postage, which is expensive from csml, just over £100 inc vat. And they use UPS who in my experience would have trouble sealing an envelope let alone delivering anything. I think I must be on a blacklist with them, had more failed deliveries via UPS than all the others put together and they don't give a f*** when you phone customer services in the UK, rant over

[oldman]

Just arrived, well chuffed got these at last.

I know @Darty always likens these to Hondas due to it being red, but it is a lovely colour!

[oldman]

Had a closer look and right hand panel is white one painted red, looks fine but not what I paid for. In correct yamaha packet with product code so have contacted csmnl for their comments. Left panel correct in all respects

[oldman]

Here's pics of items, anyone else had issue with similar?

[Calum]

@oldman Hhmmmm....I'm not too happy about that. @scrimsmustang would be the only other person who would know!

[oldman]

The more I think about it the more annoyed I get, seems a deliberate attempt to mislead, suspect csml were equally unaware (I hope so anyway)

[Calum]

@oldman For the price you paid, I would be rejecting that white panel. As far as I know, the panels should not be painted and should be a raw finish.

It could have been a seconds reject, either way I wouldn't be keeping it as it would look well off.

@calum that’s really strange it can’t be legit from Yamaha then can it?

[oldman]

Definitely not, original plastics solid colour throughout, if I scratch this one it's going to show white in the scratch. Not much good for a dirt bike

[Calum]

Don't feel too bad, you got one at least. And you should get a full refund for the other. I know it's disheartening but it'll be worth the heart ache.

[declan]

@oldman yeah it shows badly I have painted panels from blue to white it’s Great until you crash then it needs re doing

[oldman]

Crash!!!!

@oldman Personally I would return the damaged one straight away.
