with E-approvalOfficina 8 down to the last detail: these original Piaggio bar end mirrors bring one of the most distinctive design features of the Vespa Officina 8 models to the handlebars. Instead of rising conventionally above the cockpit, the round mirrors sit at the outer ends of the handlebars. This changes the entire silhouette of the Vespa, making it appear lower, wider and noticeably sportier.
The matt black finish underlines the technical, reduced character of the Officina 8. Round mirror heads, slim mirror arms and visible mechanical details create a combination that looks both modern and unmistakably Vespa. Ideal for anyone looking for an individual custom appearance while deliberately choosing original Piaggio design.
This is not an accessory that merely imitates the Officina 8 style. The mirrors with Piaggio part number 1C008303 are original Vespa/Piaggio components and are used on the Officina 8 models.
This makes it possible to add an authentic detail from the special-edition models. A particularly refined touch is the discreet Vespa logo embossed on the rear of the mirror heads. Finished tone-on-tone in black, it blends into the surface and reveals the mirrors' original heritage only on closer inspection.
The all-black design deliberately moves away from the traditional chrome appearance of many Vespa mirrors. Instead, matt surfaces and just a few visible metallic accents around the joints define the look. The result is technical, premium and refreshingly uncompromising.
Combined with other dark components, the mirrors create a coherent factory-custom appearance. At the same time, the bar end mirrors can provide a strong visual contrast on a more classically styled Vespa and noticeably transform the appearance of the front end.
The circular mirror glasses have a diameter of Ø95 mm. A slim black surround frames the mirror surface and creates a clean, minimalist front view.
From the side, the images show the flat, gently curved shape of the mirror housings. This gives the mirror heads a compact appearance and keeps them visually close to the vehicle. The mirror heads are connected to the arms by joints and can be individually adjusted.
One of the defining features of the Officina 8 mirrors is the distinctive shape of the arms. Their flowing profile connects the round mirror head to the mounting point at the end of the handlebar. Elongated cut-outs break up the otherwise solid structure and give the design a lighter, distinctly technical character.
The joints and fasteners are deliberately left visible rather than hidden behind covers. Functional components therefore become part of the design. Particularly when viewed from the side, this creates a mechanical appearance that perfectly complements the workshop-inspired, technical aesthetic of the Officina 8.
The mirror heads and mirror arms are made from CNC-machined aluminium components. The construction was specifically developed for use as bar end mirrors on Modern Vespa models. The substantial design of the mirror arms also supports stable positioning with reduced susceptibility to vibration.
The combination of precise machining, matt black surfaces and visible technical details gives the mirror set a premium appearance. The result does not look like generic universal aftermarket equipment, but exactly what it is: original Vespa design.
The original Piaggio Officina 8 bar end mirrors feature an E-mark. The corresponding approval marking is located on the rear of the mirror housing.
Bar end mirrors can transform the appearance of a Vespa far more than their compact dimensions might suggest. The area above the handlebars looks cleaner, while the two round mirrors visually extend the silhouette outwards. The result is a lower, wider and sportier-looking front end.
That is exactly what makes this original Officina 8 mirror set so appealing: it combines unmistakable Vespa design with a much more individual silhouette. Matt black, technical, minimalist and with genuine factory character – an original Piaggio detail that gives the Vespa a new presence from almost every angle.
