How long will it take before you crack....

Thanks Rich - and Howard who played delivery boy.

Henry Ford had a bloody good point - why waste time or money on anything other than black.

OK I'm a kit tart - but if you don't get why a woman would spend money to change the colour of something - well you'll be a man who just doesn't get why we buy three pairs of the same shoes in different colours won't you?

Now where can I get a small black argon bottle......

I'll find the exit door meself

You can get a brushed no-coat (ie matt silver) 6cf one from Dive Rite Express. That would fit your colour scheme I beleive...

You could also get milspec non-magnetic all-black regs from Apeks if you really want the stealth look...

PS - I'm not really serious about that last suggestion - put the credit card away now...

I ordered one too. But apparently they run out of those nice black alu backplates.....

Oh Claire, don't forget to order 'gray' argon stickers for your tank. That will be the finishing touch.
Congrats with this new beauty. I think you made a very wise decision

I'd love to sigh and shake my head Clare, but it does look cool

I might be tempted to replace the webbing tho - that strange grey design would then go away and it would be a nice, plain black!

I always thought pink was your colour..

and you need to sort those D-rings out Clare.. Tsk tsk.. (shakes head)
