OK I know they're only talking about it for non-structural bits for motorbikes at the moment, but who wouldn't like a Mojo in that finish?

Santa Cruz will release one soon for £4,000 for the 'value' model.

Men all across Surrey will rush into their nearest local lifestyle cycle store waving their credit cards urgently.

You can dye Kevlar easily, the Prodrive system appears to just dye the Resin.
I notice it has been done for Cosmetic rather than structural components though, I`d be interested to know the effects on strength by adding the dye.
I suspect its been done for Aston or JLR
