In Turkish it is used interchangeably with "kaporta" (bodywork). Fairing panels are mostly made of ABS plastic; some models use fibreglass or carbon composite.

- **Side panels and belly pan**
- **Tail section** and **mudguards**
- On scooters: the leg shield, floorboards and under-seat covers

Fairing parts are specific to make, model and year, and mounting points can change between years. Check whether the part is painted or unpainted and the colour code.
