eude Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 That's going to be a peach matey , albeit a purple one. Looking forward to seeing this develop! Quote
andydye Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 purple peach, sounds superb! It'll obviously be amazing, looking forward to seeing some pics!! Quote
eude Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) What colour hardware you going with again? Normally it would be black for me but for some reason I think chrome might look just right on all that purple, plus it'll set it apart nicely from you none-more-black Graft version Edited March 18, 2013 by eude Quote
