Deeply dark, uncompromisingly sporty: with the MOTO NOSTRA Dark Smoked speedometer lens, the cockpit of your Vespa GTS or GTS Super takes on an entirely new character. The exceptionally intense smoked tint makes the original Piaggio speedometer appear almost black when switched off. Combined with the high-gloss surface, it creates an elegant, mysterious appearance that perfectly complements customised Vespa builds and modern blackout styling concepts.
Dark Smoked is the most expressive version in the range of tinted MOTO NOSTRA speedometer lenses. For riders who prefer the darkest possible, minimalist look and want the cockpit to blend seamlessly into the overall design of their Vespa, this lens offers a particularly striking styling detail.
Compared with the Light Smoke and Medium Smoked versions, Dark Smoked features a significantly stronger tint. In the product images, the surface appears deep black with a subtle smoked-glass character. The reflections on the glossy surface reveal the flowing contours and three-dimensional shape of the speedometer lens.
The pronounced curvature and outward-extending side sections give the component a premium, almost sculptural appearance. The speedometer lens blends particularly well with Vespas featuring black accessories, dark-painted body panels or sporty CNC-machined components.
Unlike an opaque black cover, Dark Smoked is a heavily tinted speedometer lens. However, the intense tint may significantly reduce the visibility of the instrument displays underneath. This is particularly relevant in unfavourable lighting conditions or when the instrument illumination is weak.
The MOTO NOSTRA speedometer lens is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate (PC). Compared with conventional acrylic glass (PMMA), this engineering plastic offers significantly greater impact resistance and resistance to breakage.
For a component exposed to external influences, temperature fluctuations and vibrations, polycarbonate provides a durable material foundation. The characteristic shape of the original speedometer lens is retained, while the exceptionally dark colour creates a distinctive appearance.
The glossy surface enhances the premium impression. Additional functional coatings help protect the material during everyday use.
Even in the particularly dark Dark Smoked version, MOTO NOSTRA uses three functional protective coatings designed to address different types of exposure and wear:
The Dark Smoked speedometer lens therefore combines a highly individual appearance with technical features that go beyond a simple change of colour.
The MOTO NOSTRA speedometer lens is intended to replace the original instrument cover on the corresponding Piaggio speedometer of the Vespa GTS and GTS Super. Its construction follows the shape of the original component.
The product images show the strongly curved front surface, the outward-extending side sections and the continuous perimeter fitting edge. The rear features four integrated mounting tabs with fixing holes, along with the shaped edge sections.
Replacing the outer instrument cover allows the cockpit's appearance to be changed without replacing the actual speedometer unit or its electronics. The component can also be used to replace a damaged original cover.
Installation note: The original instrument housing must be opened to replace the speedometer lens. Before installation, all contact and sealing surfaces must be carefully cleaned. The housing must then be properly resealed to minimise the risk of moisture and dust entering the sensitive instrument electronics.
Important note on instrument readability: Dark Smoked is the darkest of the tint options described here. Due to the heavy tint, the visibility of the speed display, warning lights and other instrument information may be significantly impaired. Actual readability depends on instrument illumination and ambient lighting conditions. Before use on public roads, it must be ensured that all legally required displays and warning lights remain sufficiently visible at all times.
With the MOTO NOSTRA Dark Smoked speedometer lens, you make a clear statement: an exceptionally dark smoked-glass appearance, glossy surfaces and a shape that blends perfectly with the characteristic lines of the Vespa GTS. Combined with impact-resistant polycarbonate and three protective coatings, this creates a styling accessory for riders who appreciate even the smallest details when customising their scooter.
