Varios - Damaged Silver Cover

[jim123]

Dropped my bike, and made a bit of a mess to the fake ally finish on one of my side panniers. I want to fix this up rather than leave an embarrasing "battle scar".

Does anyone know if a replacement aluminium efffect cover can be purchased and refitted?#

Also has anyone tried doing a repaint to conceal the damage. I know I'll loose the "brushed" effect finish, but I'm not sure this is a viable solution.

Otherwise...I saw someone on here used a brushed steel effect vinyl wrap which I thought looked good....it'd hide minor blemishes.

Here it is....

Complete lids are available from BMW. IIRC £89 each.

Did that for same reason but changed it to this.
wrap is cheap enough and with a bit of patience and a hair dryer not to difficult.

I must get around to polishing and wrapping my adventure cases before next winter. They dont like the salt.
