I have ordered a full set of the Matte Black panels from PowerbyPCX but forgot about the red stickers to go with them. Does anyone know where I could get some a bit closer to where I live (UK)?
Or if not are there any ideas for different stickers to put on it? Im thinking blue might look nice.

I guess that the kit you refer to is this one?
It's the first time that I see it, and it looks great! I cannot help you with your question, but I am sure that other users will be able to offer you some input. In the meantime, I was wondering how much would be the shipping of a whole kit like that to UK? (I live in Spain, so I guess that the Price will be similar...)
Given that the price for the sticker kit is about 25 euros, perhaps shipping charges would not be too expensive? Have you asked them about it?
And about prices, I am a little surprised, as a "fairing set" for a 2013 pcx is €179 (€199 for the matt black edition), but the kit for the 2014 pcx is MORE THAN TWICE: €399
Yes, the newer model has 14 pieces, and the old one has 10 pieces, but such a difference is huge....

Total cost was about £305 and I think the shipping was around £100. Just had a look and its about £30 for the stickers with shipping. Not too bad but as I'm also planning on changing a few other things including the seat ill wait until then.

I forgot one question

:
Do you intend to remove the old panels and install the new ones, or will you have someone do it? I ask because, in case that you do it, I would like to know if all that I would need to remove a panel would be basic tools, plus some "trim removal set" tools, like these ones that I purchased online and I will receive in some weeks:
I like to do some maintenance to my vehicles, but when I do not see fasteners, I freak out

and think that I will break tabs, etc... I am very careful, but I have just purchased the mentioned plastic tools, to aid with panel removal...
Thanks in advance!

Nice holder for the plastic removal tools. I bought mine at Harbor Freight. They were cheap enough and they definitely come in handy.

- I searched for trim tools and then added Neilsen - found the same ones then.

Thanks for the link ... I checked them out on both eBay and Harbor Freight. I hope to pick them up at Harbor Freight when I am back in the US next month.

I have read that they are invaluable when disassembling plastic body panels, as they do not scratch the finish, and allow easy access to the tabs. They are not expensive, and will last forever, if treated with care...

Thanks! I'll have a look in Amazon, when I need other "indispensable" gadgets

Bought some off Amazon myself about a year ago, for maybe $9, and have been amazed how useful they've been to have handy in the garage for any number of other tasks.
