The side trim is the narrow body panel running along the scooter side, often between the apron and the rear body. It is frequently scuffed or cracked in a fall or while parking. This guide helps you match the right side trim.
1. Match the exact model and generation
Side trims are moulded to each scooter’s body. A Hero Maestro Edge trim will not fit a Suzuki Access, and old and new Access trims differ. Match the exact model and generation.
2. Left, right or a set
Trims are handed: the left and right differ. Some listings are a single side, others a pair. Decide whether you are replacing one damaged trim or refreshing both.
3. Match the factory colour
Side trims come in factory shades such as blue and black. Match the exact shade, and buy both sides together if the bodywork is faded.
4. Material and finish
Replacement trims are moulded ABS or fibre, supplied painted or in a moulded colour. Check the finish (matte vs gloss) to match the bodywork.
5. Mounting and fixings
Trims mount with clips, tabs and screws. Confirm the replacement has the same mounting points. A trim that keeps popping off is usually a worn clip, not a wrong trim.
6. Fitting tips
Start clips by hand, do not force them, and tighten screws gradually. Check the trim runs straight along the body before final tightening.
Bottom line
Match the exact model, the correct side and the colour. That gives a side trim that sits straight and looks factory.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a side trim?
It is the narrow body panel running along the scooter side, also called a side moulding or side rail, often between the apron and the rear body.
Are side trims sold per side or as a pair?
It depends on the listing. Some are a single side (left or right), others a pair. Check the product title to see what is included.
How do I match the side trim colour?
Side trims come in factory shades such as blue and black. Match the exact shade, and consider buying both sides together if the bodywork is faded.
Why does my side trim keep coming loose?
Usually worn clips or grommets rather than the trim itself. Fit new clips and grommets and it will sit tight again.
Are these side trims genuine OEM?
They are OEM-spec replacements made to the original shape, mounting and finish, and each listing names the exact models covered.
