Vespa / Piaggio Part Number Lookup Step-By-Step Demonstration:

First: we must identify our scooter correctly

To identify your scooter, locate the Vehicle Identification Plate (Vin Plate):

*Note on models built prior to 2006 the Vin Plate will be covered by the front shield.

On Pre-2006 models it will be easier to find the VIN number by removing the seat pan (see photos in post #7).

Next we will need to determine the year.

The year is the 10th digit of the VIN Number:

(This model is shows "9" as the 10th digit. It is therefore a 2009.)

Now we can look at the badges on the internal shield or side covers to determine the model:

Now that we have identified the Year and Model of our scooter, we can select the Official Spare Parts Catalog for our model.

(For this example, we will say we have a 2009 GTS 250ie)

To download the manual you may simply click on the model listing or right click on your mouse and select "Save Target As"

Within the first few pages of the manual you will find Color Code Information:

To identify the color for your Vespa or Piaggio, lift your saddle and remove the pan.

*Note: you can also locate the VIN number by removing the pan.

We now know that we have color code 894.

Color code 894 is referred to as EVG6R71US1 in the Spare Parts Catalog.

Now we can begin the step by step demonstration on how to identify a Genuine Vespa or Piaggio Part Number from the downloaded Parts Catalog.

For this walkthrough we will assume that you are looking for a front handlebar cover for an '09 Vespa GTS 250ie.


-Locate the page which contains the part you are looking for. For this example it will be the "03.01 Handlebars Coverages" section found in the "Vespa GTS 250ie & GTS 250ie Super 2008-2009" parts Catalog.

-Locate part in the diagram (red circle in diagram below)

[Steve / AF1 Racing]

The part we are interested in is numbered "1" in the diagram. The corresponding number on the table is indicated with a red circle below.

[Steve / AF1 Racing]

-Now consult the directions at the beginning of this thread to identify the color scheme of your Vespa.

For this example we will say that we have the 2009 Vespa GTS 250ie in Dragon Red. Paint code 894 -or- EVG6R71US1. Dragon Red is referred to as "EVG6R71US1" in the table.

[Steve / AF1 Racing]

-The column labeled "Drawing No." contains the part number.

[Steve / AF1 Racing]

-The column labeled "Q.ty" indicates the quantity that will be needed to complete the application.

[Steve / AF1 Racing]

We now know that the part number is 65268100R7 and that quantity One is required.

You can now submit a parts request to info@af1racing.com

Important Note:

In the vast majority of situations, Vespa / Piaggio does not sell parts "kits." Vespa / Piaggio parts are typically sold each. In very rare situations some Vespa / Piaggio parts are sold "complete" meaning that all necessary parts for installation are included. This applies primarily to Accessory parts.

In general, assume that All Vespa and Piaggio parts are sold each, unless the product description specifically says "complete."
