damn, looking at that i wish i'd kept my dp frame in chome.  Instead i went for white, i wanted chrome, but i chose white, not chrome as i planned. :uglystupid2: Most firebirds seem to turn out white, don't they? Why is that?  THat's so weird

Haaha  :LolLolLolLol: I knew the Phantom would not resist  :4_17_5:

Yellow and blue would look cool - like a GT Performer  :coolsmiley:

Sikki - you have to go with the colourway you are down like...

Have you seen the baby blue beauty? baby blue with dark blue, chrome and silver bits would be sweeeeet.  :smitten:

I think the deal was that you could send DP your frame, forks or whatever and they would do them in any of the DP colours... mainly the pink and green... as the fluros were big at the time  :daumenhoch:

Just realised its on that last link I sent  :angel:

Thats the thing it come with a crap pair of black skyways so im looking for a nice set of wheels.

Hopefully Dan will have the bike today so white it is, i woould have gone for a diff colour but finding old skool parts then become a mare.

Liking the baby blue though  8)

Yeah cant wait to get my hands on it, it's with superbikedan at the mo. Ive already ordered my decals from steve should have them this week, ive gone for the Gen 1 with black lines.
Think im going down the anodized blue route but it all depends on what wheels i can get my hands on.

Ive also just bought another project so i have 3 now  :crazy2:
