Piaggio 261360 Grey Front Mudguard – Ape 50 FL, FL2 and FL3 Europa (1989-1999)

The Piaggio 261360 grey front mudguard is the original front body part for the Ape 50 FL, FL2 and FL3 Europa, the three-wheeled vehicles produced between 1989 and 1999. It covers the front wheel, retains water and mud, and restores the original front-end design. This is an out-of-production part number: available while stocks last.

✓ Strengths

• Original Piaggio spare part – OEM code 261360, not a reproduction
• Grey as standard – the original color of the Ape 50 FL/FL2/FL3, and can be painted if yours has a different livery
• Covers two generations of chassis – TL6T (FL and FL2) and TL5T (FL3 Europa)
• Original shape and holes – mounts on standard fastening points, without drilling or adapting
• Out-of-production code – for a thirty-year-old vehicle, finding the original Piaggio part, and not an adaptable one, is not a given

Technical specifications

Vehicle compatibility

Compatibility verified across multiple independent spare parts catalogs. The code is out of production and no longer appears in the current Piaggio catalog: for this reason, the most reliable reference is the chassis code. For more recent Ape 50 models (RST, Mix, later Europa Cross), the mudguard has a different code: write us the code and we will confirm the correct spare part.

Recommended products

• Piaggio 565799 black front mudguard – the same part for the Ape TM 703 petrol and diesel: if yours is not an Ape 50, this is what you need
• Fastening screws and brackets – not included: on the front of a thirty-year-old Ape, these almost always need replacing
• Painting products – if your Ape's livery is not grey

Perfect for

This is the part for those maintaining a 1990s Ape 50 FL: small farmers, nurseries, street vendors, and increasingly, those restoring it out of passion. The front mudguard is what takes all the hits – the wall when maneuvering, the curb, branches – and after thirty years, it's either cracked or has been replaced with an adaptable one that stands out because it doesn't follow the wheel's curve. Replacing it with the original grey one is inexpensive and changes the look of the front end in half an hour. For a conservative restoration, it's one of the details that make a difference, and since it's an out-of-production part number, those working on it now would do well to get it while it's still available.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if this is the right mudguard for my Ape 50?
Check the chassis code on your registration document or on the vehicle: this code covers chassis TL6T (Ape 50 FL and FL2, 1989-1995) and TL5T (Ape 50 FL3 Europa, 1996-1999). For Ape 50, the year alone is not enough: the chassis code is the reliable reference.

Is it suitable for my Ape 50 Cross or FL4?
Some spare parts catalogs also associate it with these versions, but this is not data we can confirm: the code is out of production and no longer appears in the current catalog. Send us the chassis code and we will verify it before you order.

What color is it? Can I paint it?
It is grey, the standard color of the Ape 50 FL/FL2/FL3. If yours has a different livery, the part can be prepared and painted: doing so before assembly is much more convenient.

Are screws included?
No, the package contains only the mudguard. Screws, brackets, and gaskets must be salvaged from the old part or purchased separately – and for a thirty-year-old vehicle, the latter is usually advisable.

What is the difference from the Ape TM mudguard?
They are two different parts for two different vehicles. The 261360 is the grey mudguard for the Ape 50; for the Ape TM 703, petrol or diesel, the code is 565799, black and larger in size.

Is it original Piaggio or a reproduction?
It is the original Piaggio spare part, code 261360. For the Ape 50, many reproduced mudguards circulate that cite this code as a reference: this is the Piaggio part, with the standard shape and fastening points.
