Piaggio 57556550R8 Right Rear Upper Side Panel Saturn Red 996 – X9 125/180/250/500

The Piaggio 57556550R8 rear upper right side panel is the original bodywork panel that encloses the rear right flank of the Piaggio X9 maxiscooter, pre-painted in Saturn Red, color code 996. In the Piaggio catalog, the official name is «FIANCATA SUP.POSTERIORE» (Rear Upper Side Panel) and the code refers to 62042600R8, fully registered as «TAPA TRASERA DCHA. ROJO SATURNO 996». In this color, it is intended for five versions of the X9, from the 125 to the 500. New old stock spare part, only one unit available.

✓ Key features

• Original Piaggio spare part – this is the same panel fitted at the factory, OEM code 57556550R8. Please note: there are X9 side panels on the market labeled as "original" in the title but listed as "generic" in the specs: this one is genuine Piaggio.
• Covers five X9 versions – 125, 125 SL, 180 Amalfi, 250, and 500: the same side panel fits the entire range.
• Standard Saturn Red 996 color – the color code is an integral part of the reference: it is not a repaint, it is the original Piaggio paint, a deep red lacquer with a mica effect.
• New, not a used take-off – on the market, red X9 rear side panels are usually only found used, salvaged from crashed scooters: this one has never been mounted.
• Original light opening and mounting points – the housing for the rear light cluster and the fixing tabs are already molded (as observed from product photographs)

Technical specifications

Vehicle compatibility

Official compatibility from our spare parts department, confirmed vehicle by vehicle from the original Piaggio parts catalog under the "Side covers - Spoiler" and, for the X9 250, "Side panels - Spoiler" sections.

Who is this perfect for?

This is the piece you need after a fall on the right side or if the side panel mounts have broken: on the X9, this panel is large, supports the light housing, and once cracked, it no longer aligns with the tail section. On vibrant colors, the problem is twofold because a repainted red that doesn't match is visible from meters away, and Saturn Red is practically impossible to find on the used market. This is new old stock, with factory lacquer and all mounts intact, and it fits five different versions of the X9. We only have one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which X9 does the 57556550R8 fit?
It fits five versions: X9 125, X9 125 SL, X9 180 Amalfi, X9 250, and X9 500 from the 1998-2005 historic catalogs. The Piaggio parts catalog assigns this color code to all five under the "Side covers - Spoiler" and "Side panels - Spoiler" sections. If you are unsure of your version, write to us with your VIN.

What red is 996?
It is Piaggio Saturn Red, a deep and brilliant red with mica pigment, fitted as standard on the X9 and other models of the era. In the spare part code, the color is the final suffix 0R8: changing those digits only changes the tint, the panel remains identical. If your X9 is a different color, write to us and we will check the correct reference.

Is it the right or the left side?
It is the right side. The corresponding left side panel, in the same color, is reference 57556450R8: the two codes differ by only one digit and are often confused. If you need the left side, write to us and we will check availability.

Is the taillight included?
No. The package contains only the painted side panel. The housing for the light cluster is already molded into the panel, but the light and screws must be salvaged from the part you are replacing or purchased separately. If you need those as well, write to us and we will check availability.

My catalog shows code 62042600R8: is it the same part?
Yes. The Piaggio parts catalog explicitly notes "57556550R8 see 62042600R8": they are the same rear upper right side panel in Saturn Red 996; the latter is the code under which the reference was archived.
