hiya, thanks for your reply. I am aware anodising costs extra, wasn't a dig at the product (as you probably saw I asked 'ARE' you able to which i note you saw). Yep I agree, scratcing does mar a product.
OK, another 'stupid' question then. The ali you use, if you 'colour' it with a black marker, does the ink seem to hold on the metal ? (some markers don't and almost streak on them).
Point is I am in the market for this kind of front setup (and rear tower) and yes im a bit fickle, i like my bits colour coded
If they hold marker pen, i will 100% be purchasing (well..the GF will be for my xmas gift)
