Maybe Matt, but how much do you think it would cost in total including shipping/customs etc? Would it work out about the same to take a set of panels to a decent body repairer/sprayer?

He fitted a set, cheaper than repaint, [9 panels] and undamaged of course, but the fit and colour match to original were not brilliant, good value though.
All the colours matched each other, if not the original, but unless all original panels are repainted, there will still be a colour mismatch between old and new painted.

Matt, they will only piss you off every time you goto the garage and look at the bike, they are not the same, not only in quality but fit, and look at the colours.
bright gold stripes FFS, original were more of a silver and blue honda decals ? size of the V4 decals and rear seat VFR400R decals are again about an inch too big.
it might fool a new buyer for about a day, but you know what the proper bike should look like it will do your fruit in mate.
get someone to do a proper job using OE panels, might cost twice as much but worth it IMO

Id have to agree there matt, the colours just dont look right to me either. Give us a shout if you got some OE panels you want painted.

found these on american ebay not long ago, if they come up for sale again they look like they'd be worth a punt (more so than the first ones that were posted, these aren't perfect either, but to me thay look alot closer)
