I came by a Honda Sonic. I had to buy it to do some guy a favour. Now I'm stuck with the ugliest scooter I've ever seen. I don't know what Honda was thinking, it looks like a chicken with someone pulling its head off.
As you can see in the pics, it's a bit of a hound and that colour scheme! It's like a graphic designer took too many drugs and threw up all over it.
I've decided to change it, make it something a bit different. I'm going to lose the headlight because it's awful and change all the colours. My initial idea is to leave all the matte black panels the colour they are. I'm going to change the side, tail, belly-pan and fender to blue, paint the wheels white with a red stripe and tidy it up with a few bits of machined alloy. Basically I'm going to make it into Sonic the Hedgehog. I used to love that game and a mate of mine works for Sega and sneaked the name of my pet rats into the leader board on one of the GBA releases so it seems the thing to do. Progress won't be rapid. I'm going to do it on a budget of approximately nothing ($100 max) and do most of the work myself in the evenings and weekends. I was inspired by the fact that my partner hates the thing. Personally, I don't like it much myself but if she hates it then it can't be all bad.

Old Thread Alert!
