- VF series 2 SS
Saw a 2015 SS VF parked up the other day and something really caught my eye in comparison to my 2016 model.
The plastic bonnet vents were black but the inserts "louvres" were chrome.
This looked better than the idea might sound, because it matched the front guard inserts. It also only caught your eye from specific angles...sometimes I couldn't tell if it was original black, but then when the sun hit it, I had to get a closer look. It wasn't the transformer paint - it was just plastic chrome, but being beneath the surface had a weird effect.
Has anyone ever seen these vents on offer to purchase or do you think this was a personal paint / custom job?
I'm thinking of buying some cheap Ebay fake vents and painting them to experiment.
