Auto - T-Max Facelift Part 2



Body Panels for all scooters can be very expensive to replace from the manufacturer. VE (UK) have added to their already wide range by sourcing a fantastic 12 piece bodykit for the Yamaha T-Max (2000-2007 models).

This kit includes everything to replace what is fitted to the T-Max scooter. It also includes the two curved panels that sit inside the footwell that go from front to back on each side. So there is more to this kit for your money. This is a ground breaking kit at an exceptional price. A kit is not available from OE sources, but compare it to the cost of OE and individual panels and the VE price is a HUGE saving.

You'd expect at the prices shown you'd need to have this kit painted....wrong! This fantastic 12 piece kit comes already painted to a high standard and is ready to fit to the machine. Available in Black, Red, and Yellow options, the 12 piece kit offers superb savings compared to replacing individual panels from a main dealer, or having panels repaired, and then add the cost to have parts repainted.

Make no mistake the T-Max kit is a superb item and a superb price. Pricing for the T-Max bodykit starts at just £350.15 RRP including Vat, and yes....that's painted into the bargain.
