An elegant line, a touch of motorsport and plenty of attention to detail! The Moto Nostra Slim Style front mudguard crest in silver adds a distinctive accent to the front mudguard of your Vespa GTS. Instead of a bulky shape, this CNC-machined styling accessory features a low-profile, elongated silhouette that blends harmoniously with the lines of the Vespa.
Its special appeal lies in the combination of a gently curved shape and a precisely machined surface texture. Numerous fine grooves run closely alongside one another across the upper section, creating a fascinating interplay of light and shadow. The silver anodised finish highlights the metallic character of the aluminium and emphasises the high-quality workmanship.
Manufactured from 6061 aluminium and developed specifically for Vespa GTS and GTS Super models with 125 to 310 cc from model year 2023 onwards, the Moto Nostra Slim Style is a stylish alternative to the standard front mudguard crest.
Good design does not need to be large to make an impression. The Moto Nostra Slim Style takes the classic concept of a front mudguard crest and reinterprets it with a significantly flatter, more elongated shape.
The slim silhouette rises gently at one end, develops a smoothly curved upper edge and tapers down towards the other end. This creates a flowing shape that visually follows the front mudguard rather than dominating it with a tall, prominent profile.
The outer edges are smoothly finished and form a harmonious transition to the ribbed surface. The slender construction is particularly striking when viewed from the side.
The result is a subtle yet distinctive styling detail for anyone who wants to personalise their Vespa without changing its classic design language.
The most striking design feature is the finely textured upper surface. Numerous closely spaced machined grooves follow the curved shape of the mudguard crest and give the surface a distinctive sense of depth.
Different patterns of light and shade appear depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions. The narrow raised sections reflect the light, while the recessed areas appear darker. This gives the surface a lively appearance, even though the entire component is finished in a uniform silver colour.
The ribbed structure creates a deliberate contrast with the smoother outer edges. This interplay between precise technical machining and soft contours defines the distinctive character of the Slim Style.
Even on a small accessory, carefully designed details can make a remarkable visual difference.
The Moto Nostra mudguard crest is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium. This aluminium alloy is known for its good machinability, relatively low weight and well-balanced mechanical properties.
CNC machining allows both the elongated outer contour and the fine, regularly arranged surface grooves to be produced with precision. The result is an attractive metal component with clearly defined edges and an intricately detailed surface.
Compared with the standard plastic component, the aluminium construction offers a different material appearance and feel. The visible machining details make the manufacturing process a deliberate part of the design.
The silver anodised coating complements the technical appearance. During anodising, the natural oxide layer of the aluminium is electrochemically enhanced. This creates a protective surface layer that improves corrosion resistance, among other properties.
Silver is one of the classic colours for high-quality aluminium components. The finish looks technical and elegant while remaining pleasantly understated.
On the Moto Nostra Slim Style, the silver finish particularly highlights the precise machined texture. Reflections of light along the fine grooves emphasise the curved shape and give the mudguard crest its own distinctive presence.
On Vespa models with dark paintwork, the silver metal creates a clear contrast with the bodywork. On lighter-coloured scooters, the component blends harmoniously into the overall appearance.
The mudguard crest looks particularly well coordinated when combined with other silver CNC-machined aluminium components. Fork covers, swingarm covers and other high-quality styling details can complement the metallic appearance and visually complete the front end.
The front mudguard crest is one of the characteristic decorative elements found on many generations of Vespa. Its position on the front mudguard makes it a small but clearly visible part of the classic Vespa silhouette.
With the Slim Style, Moto Nostra gives this traditional design element a fresh interpretation. The original concept remains, but the styling becomes more modern, flatter and technically more precise.
The result combines the elegant lines of the Vespa with the character of modern CNC-machined aluminium components. A styling detail that respects tradition while adding an individual touch.
The Moto Nostra Slim Style front mudguard crest is designed for Vespa GTS and GTS Super models with 125 to 310 cc from model year 2023 onwards.
On these vehicles, the standard mudguard crest is positioned on the front mudguard. The Moto Nostra Slim Style replaces this decorative component and gives the front end a distinctive new appearance.
The mudguard crest is a decorative accessory and does not perform any load-bearing or suspension-related function.
For installation, the standard front mudguard crest is first removed from the front mudguard. The Moto Nostra Slim Style is then fitted using the designated mounting points.
Two screw connections are visible on the underside of the illustrated component. Before installation, the existing fastening components should be checked for their condition and suitability. The exact mounting hardware included in the package should be confirmed in the relevant product specifications.
During installation, ensure that the mudguard crest sits evenly and without mechanical stress. The screw connections must be tightened securely without damaging the mudguard or its mounting points.
After installation, check that the component is firmly secured and does not come into contact with adjacent or moving parts.
Sometimes a single detail is all it takes to give a Vespa a character of its own. The Moto Nostra Slim Style front mudguard crest in silver combines an elegant, low-profile silhouette with the distinctive aesthetics of precision CNC machining.
Silver anodised aluminium, a finely ribbed surface and flowing lines transform a small decorative component into a stylish eye-catcher. For everyone who wants to enhance their Vespa GTS with high-quality details while maintaining a harmonious overall appearance.
