    Gen 2 panniers painted or wrapped?

    Hi all,

    I picked up my Gen 2 M-sport edition on Thursday, somehow the dealer managed to forgot to order or gave my panniers to someone else, well that’s the excuses I got :110:
    They are now on order and I’ve asked for white, I’m thinking of getting them wrapped as I think the plain black and white may look a little better if it was more in keeping with the M-sport colours.

    Has anyone had the Gen 2 panniers painted or wrapped?

    If so a photo would be nice. :028:
    I’d rather be laying in the Sun like a cat, than working like a dog for the cash!

    Had my black carriers wrapped in blue to match the bike...  It is easy to get the panels off and a good simple shape to wrap:-) Peter

    Aye, that blue is a neat touch.  Colour is a good match.

    If it were me I would have gone white:-) for visibility, but my rather wizzo daughter mocked up the attached colours and basically said blue looks better!  She has a bright orange car hence the rather glary option!  Peter

    Looking at all the options.
    Blue does it for me.

    I have the ice grey colour. Carbon dipped a few panels so far. Thinking on the pannier infills either Grey or Carbon.
    Can your daughter do the Paint brushing for those options to see what like??

    I am sure she can if you are not in a rush :-) It is a hobby of hers.  PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you mine so can exchange files.  Peter

    I wish there was some aftermarket options for fairings for the Gen 1 XR because I absolutely love that orange scheme, would 100% do something like that. Orange wheels, white base, orange decals/xr logo hmmm
