Title: Gold Dia Compe MX901s ???
Post by: bobafett on November 28, 2008, 02:58 PM

Did they ever make gold 901s ? I've seen 'em in blue,red,white,black,satin silver,polished silver and a few funky freestyle colours but I can't remember ever seeing a gold set  :-\

So did they ever make 'em ? Are they rare as fook ? Any one got a piccy ?

Would say yes, but got no proof  :LolLolLolLol:
Think I saw some, can't remember where...

As for Tech 4 in gold, they existed but not many around it seems.

I suppose the tech 4's could have been to go with the gold Mx1000s later on after the tech 3s ?  :-\

Be cheaper to buy some sliver 901's and get them anodised me thinks mate :daumenhoch:

Post by: meticulous on December 07, 2008, 02:17 PM

you cannot have them anodised without destroying them, as some of the fittings are pressed, and are steel.... :'(

Yep the one in that ebay thread looks like an original gold ano finish - what's goin on with the price though ?  :wtf:
Meticus - so judging by that ebay link above you still need to get your airfix paint brush on the lettering stamp mate to finish those fellas off  :LolLolLolLol:
- think they'll look ace then mate  :daumenhoch:
