Powder coated the same colour as the wheels and other bits n bobs

I wanted the colours to match, to look like they were meant to go together.
If it was anodised, it would have looked better but it would not have fitted the colour scheme as well.
At the end of the day, it was just a prototype

Cool, didn't think it was anno, it does look good with it all matching, just think anodised would look nice

I also had a carbon front mudguard , when I fitted it, it didn't quite go with the scabby blue, so while I was at it, I went to halfords and picked up some Ford Pather black paint.
The wheels needed repainting anyway (I was too lazy for the polished rims) so got all the little bits powder coated at the same time in return for a favour.

Not that much more to do now,
Top yoke nut, speedo sensor, and a bit of snagging (wheels balanced, coolant top up, nut & bolt check etc)

It could easily be gold satin anodised from the photo, that would look very similar in a photo to powder coating
