While I love my stella, I've been waiting for my MSF class and was thinking what could I do to make it look awesome. Just wondering what you guys would do with a Stella and around $20-50 for improving looks
EDIT: Preferably it should be easily removable, with the exception of paint. If I decide I don't like it I don't want to be stuck with an ugly looking scoot.

You've got a real treasure here! A real scooter, not a "crotch-rocket" wannabe... I could enjoy one of those myself, but they're a little out of my price range... LOL!
It's just doggone near "vintage Vespa" for sure. I'd think any cosmetic mods really ought to be kept in that spirit. It's just TOO classic to chance messing up. The most obvious touch would surely be to add whitewall tires. They aren't too expensive, and make a MAJOR cosmetic statement.
Do check out vintage Vespas on the net... "Pimped-Out" ones often sport a LOT of chrome bolt-on trims on the fenders, front-baskets, luggage rails, running-lights, sometimes, a "continental" spare tire on the rear... And I'll bet original Vespa accessories will bolt right up to your Stella.
If you keep the look traditional "Italian" I think you'll be VERY happy, and, turn a lot of heads in the process! Check out old Vespa ads, posters, movie clips, etc. for reference, and the ideas will be "never-ending"...
Enjoy that lil' steel-hoss...
Ride safe!

Looks awesome just like it is...
For under $50 I would upgrade the grips and replace you cheap plastic "Helmet Hook" with a chrome one.
Above $50.... too many options to list.

While I love my stella... what could I do to make it look awesome... I don't want to be stuck with an ugly looking scoot.  It already looks awesome, it is like an one air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle and *cannot* be made ugly. I assume that is a metal front fender, I would mount a decent loud horn. |

You can get all kinds of pin stripes and decals at an auto parts store. When you get tired of them, just remove them with the help of a hair dryer.

A whole bunch of rear view mirrors might do the trick. In the UK they used to deck out the scooters with numerous mirrors. Plus quite a few of them put on extra lights too. This was when they used to have the "Mods" in the UK. In many larger cities they still have "Mods and Rockers" meets in the downtown area in the UK and here in the USA too.  |
