I'm getting ready to order the replacement panels for the PCX and I want to add some color.
The attached picture shows white panels (under the footwells) where I'm going to make my changes.
The black of my bike is "Poseidon Black," which means it looks black except in the sun where the highlights show as dark blue metallic.

The two color choices I'm considering under the footwells are either "Pearl Dark Ash Blue" (from 2017) or "Dark Candy Red" (from 2016).

Which color choice do you like? :D

Agree.
Leave the white "as is" under foot.
Just Replace the grab rail and that plastic piece under the windscreen (the "v") with pearl white.
Maybe change the large piece under the headlights that wraps around and also consider the front fender too.

Oh and while yer at-it....Replace ALL with Pearl White :lol: :lol: (just kidding)
No I'm Not!
Fickle?
Maybe.
Not.
:lol:
I hope This was Helpful (truth) ;)

LOL, well right now the entire scoot is Poseidon Black, and a black-n-white scheme just isn't going to happen. :D

Due to the accident I have to replace both of the L & R lower sections, but only the right-front upper section. Since changing the color of the right-front section means I also have to replace the left-front upper section, the the v-piece under the windscreen, and the front fender, it's not worth it to me to spend the extra money to replace all of the non-damaged panels.

But your opinion has been noted! :lol: 8)

If you put white panels under the foot area get a flat black and red decal to add to it and it will look like it belongs there.

That's an interesting idea....
Do you have any links to examples? When I do a search on "honda pcx decals" I don't get anything in the combination you describe.

You can find quite a few black Honda decals, and possibly some red ones, so mix them a little and your panel will look natural.

Honda decal on the bottom panels?
