I like this, a lot.
Appeals to my sense of devilment.
Probably been done, but how about an Inbred sprayed in DeKerf colours/logo's? Should irk the purists nicely, and annoy owners of both brands of bike.
When the Rock Lobster needs a paintjob I'm almost tempted to go for early 90's Kona or Marin paint, along with matching yellow lowers for my Reba's.
Looking at the 'Cowhorns' thread, I'd also love a good quality old steel road frame with a Raleigh Arena paintjob, shorty mudguards and built up with nice road bits.
Just because.
Way back when, around '89/'90 when Wednesday night racing at Eastway was in full swing I remember seeing a bike that really caught my fancy; I think it was a custom Roberts with full Suntour XC Pro groupset, but it was painted like a Raleigh Mustang - you know, the Purple haze paintjob with original decals and head badge. That was Rad.
I actually have some history of this...
a nod to history that gave some old timers a chuckle; on my last Megavalanche build:

yes I recall that on mega flamey.
I like the fact everyone has become wound up by you spraying some forks, muppets!

How could you do that to such a nice vehicle?
Whats wrong with that?
clinic-al
I didn't do it, I imported it from a guy who did it in Canada.
As for "do that to such a nice vehicle"
1) so it isn't nice anymore?
2) no modifications were made that couldn't be reversed, although I wouldn't go back to drum brakes on a bus that puts out 200bhp (originally 25hp) if I were you
twas the second fastest bus in the uk for a couple of years when I had it, not sure where it is now....
I just like original stuff - particularly classics. Each to their own and all.

Slightly brighter than the bus, but not in your face styling.
Subtle for 234BHP 😀
Very nice - liking the idea behind too. Good STW response!
As we're on cars; I had this for about 3 years. I got 6 points on the motorway once and the cops said 'at first we thought we were tracking the wrong car' No 'Supercharged' badge, just some black G40 ones.

Flamejob,
Nice, my mate had one of them with a "breathed" on G60 motor in it, suffice to say drive shafts were a bit of an issue when it came to keeping them in on piece
Subtle for 234BHP
Aftermarket skirts + splitter + wheels + big spoiler + sticker in the back window + pikey racing seats = most certainly not subtle.
Just because it is black it doesn't make it subtle.
