I think if you start with a new kit thats what they end up looking like.... er new

My Mk3 I am trying to resist the temptation to plate and polish..... as it is nice original 1960s frame I want to keep a used but not abused look about it.

Erh, good luck. Spit and polish and bling is actually easier . (I like both but really appreciate appropriate patina.)

Yeah if I was replating the frame then I may as well build bling bike, but in this case the frame has mint old goldy nickel look about it. So I will just use good second hand parts and a little autosol.
