Piaggio 916458 Rear Left Side Panel, Metallic Blue 118 – Free 50

The Piaggio 916458 left rear side fairing is the original body panel for the left rear side of the Piaggio Free 50 scooter, painted in metallic blue, color code 118 — one of the standard colors from the 1992-1994 range. It belongs to the 9164xxx family, which Piaggio reserves for the left rear side fairings of the Free: the corresponding right one is the 916558. New old stock replacement part, never mounted. We have three pieces.

✓ Strengths

• Original Piaggio replacement part – it is the same panel mounted at the factory, OEM code 916458
• Almost half the price of others selling this family – new 9164xxx and 9165xxx rear side fairings, declared Piaggio brand, are sold at 75 euros including shipping; even the unpainted body costs 50
• Standard metallic blue 118 color – the metallic blue of the first series Free 50: not a generic blue, but the exact color code it left the factory with
• New, not a disassembled used part – used examples circulating almost all have paint faded by the sun or already cracked attachments
• Three pieces available – for a thirty-year-old body part, this availability is unusual

Technical specifications

Vehicle compatibility

Compatibility reconstructed from the Piaggio coding system, with cross-referencing on multiple components of the same scooter: blue 118 is documented by professional retailers on the front shield 9167585, the lower handlebar cover 9151585, and the spark plug inspection door 916658, all indicated as replacement parts for the Piaggio Free 50 1992-1994 — and all with the same color suffix 58 that appears in this reference. The 9164xxx family is the left side, the 9165xxx is the right, and the unpainted version is 916400. As we could not consult the official chart, we still ask for the chassis number before ordering.

Who it's perfect for

The first series Free is now over thirty years old, and the rear fairings are the part that has paid the heaviest price: sun, walls, kickstand. The metallic blue 118 is a full metallic color, one of those that a repaint done by eye never truly matches: the metallic pigment is either there or it isn't, and it shows next to the rest of the bodywork. This one is new old stock, with factory paint never exposed to the sun. And we have three: if your project involves more than one scooter, or you want to stash a spare part, you won't have to look for it again in a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Free model does the 916458 fit?
It fits the first series Free 50, 1992-1994. The metallic blue 118 is a color from that range, documented on multiple components of the same scooter. The Free FL 1995-2002 has different bodywork and uses other references. If you are unsure which Free you have, send us the chassis number: we will verify it before your order.

Is it the right or left?
It is the left. In the Piaggio system, the Free's rear fairings 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 one in metallic blue 118 is the 916558.

I'm restoring a metallic blue 118 Free: do you have other parts in the same color?
In the Piaggio range, metallic blue 118 also exists on other components of the Free 50 — front shield, lower handlebar cover, spark plug inspection door — each with its own reference. Tell us what you need, and we'll check what we can source for you in the same color: refinishing the bodywork with factory-painted parts yields a different result than repainting.

What shade of blue is 118?
It's a full and brilliant metallic blue, a standard color for the Free 50 from the early nineties. In the part code, the color is the final group 58: the same suffix you'll find on other Free parts in metallic blue 118. If your scooter is a different color, contact us and we'll verify the correct reference.

Is there also an unpainted version available?
Yes, it's reference 916400, the same mold without paint: it costs about 50 euros including shipping on the market, plus the cost of the body shop — and an eye-matched metallic color rarely looks right. If your Free is already metallic blue 118, this one is ready for assembly and costs less than the unpainted body alone.
