Post by: madall on May 03, 2006, 01:42 PM: Powder coat it white as its the only colour for a T/A, chrome looks pants.....sorry chrome loving TA Dudes

Post by: Stodgy on May 03, 2006, 01:46 PM: In my opinion, I'd go white.

I know the purists would go for it's original chrome, but to me you can't beat a white TA.

Have a look in the Museum to see loads of different white and chrome ones - that should guide you :daumenhoch:

Keep us updated!

Post by: stoke bloke on May 03, 2006, 02:51 PM: deffo white if you are going with tuffs . Go with the chrome if you will be going with spoked wheels. my favourite would be a white TA and white tuffs. common I know , but a classic :smitten:
