Piaggio 916469 Left Rear Side Panel Green 312 – Free 50

The Piaggio 916469 left rear side panel fairing is the original left rear body panel for the Piaggio Free 50 scooter, painted in green 312, the bright aqua green from the 1992-1994 range. It belongs to the 9164xxx family, which Piaggio reserves for the left rear side panels of the Free: the corresponding right one is 916569. This is a new old stock replacement part, never fitted, and only one unit is available.

✓ Strengths

• Genuine Piaggio spare part – this is the same panel fitted at the factory, OEM code 916469
• One-third less than other sellers of this family – new 9164xxx and 9165xxx rear side panels, declared as Piaggio brand, sell for 75 euros including shipping; even the unpainted fairing costs 50 euros
• Impossible-to-find color – red, black, burgundy, grey, and purple versions of this fairing are available, but no one has the green 312 with this code
• A green that cannot be reproduced by eye – 312 is a bright aqua, almost turquoise: painting it "by resemblance" doesn't work, it's immediately noticeable next to the rest of the bodywork (observed from product photographs)
• New, not used and dismantled – most used units have sun-faded paint or already cracked mounting tabs

Technical specifications

Vehicle compatibility

Compatibility reconstructed from the Piaggio coding system, with cross-reference to another component of the same scooter: the spark plug inspection cover 9166695, painted in the same green 312 and with the same color suffix 69 that appears in this reference, is cataloged by professional retailers as a spare part for the Piaggio Free 50 1992-1994. The 9164xxx family is the left side, 9165xxx is the right, and the unpainted version is 916400. As we were unable to consult the official diagram, we still ask for your VIN before ordering.

Who it's perfect for

The first series Free is now over thirty years old, and the rear side panels are the part that has paid the heaviest toll: sun, walls, kickstand. For green 312, the problem is twofold, because it's one of those bright 90s colors that the sun quickly fades and that no body shop can truly match by eye. This one is new old stock, with factory paint never exposed: it's the right part if you're restoring an aqua green Free to its original appearance. We only have one.

Frequently asked questions

Which Free model does the 916469 fit?
The first series Free 50, 1992-1994. Green 312 is a color from that range: the same color code, with the same suffix 69, is also found on the spark plug inspection cover of the same scooter. The Free FL 1995-2002 has different bodywork. If you are unsure which Free you have, send us your VIN.

Is it the right or left?
It's the left. In the Piaggio system, the Free's rear side panels have codes starting with 9164 for the left and 9165 for the right: only one digit changes, and the two sides are often confused. The right side in green 312 is 916569.

What shade of green is 312?
It's a bright aqua green, almost turquoise: one of the most recognizable colors of the Free from the early nineties. Be careful not to confuse it with green 172, which is a metallic and darker aqua green, nor with green PM4/8: these are three different references. If you have doubts, send us a photo of your scooter and we'll tell you which one is yours.

I'm restoring a green 312 Free: do you have other parts in the same color?
In the Piaggio range, green 312 also exists on other components of the Free 50, each with its own reference. Tell us what you need and we'll check what we can source for you in the same color: restoring the bodywork with all factory-painted parts yields a different result than repainting.

Is there also an unpainted version?
Yes, it's reference 916400, the same mold without paint: it sells for about 50 euros including shipping, plus the cost of the body shop. If your Free is already green 312, this one is ready to install and costs less than just the unpainted fairing.
