Yeah, I'm not always terribly imaginative.

IOW black works for me... There's always hammerite.

They are indeed a more durable material, so better in that sense. I can't agree that they look the same, though. Bluemels used to make some interesting looking fenders, including some with a ridge down the middle etc (Club Special, Lightweight, Featherweight) and interesting colors. Maybe the metal flake green was a bit much, but is it too much to ask that someone make white plastic fenders?
That's true, Bluemels had some more interesting fender styles. The ones I remember from my youth were just like these though. Plain rounded shape. They had a much cooler gold embossed logo it's true. Even new they were known to be brittle. Not sure when they stopped making the fancier types with the ridge and what not.

Someone makes a white plastic fender I think. I swear I saw them somewhere. Maybe they were painted aluminum? Can't think of where I saw them offhand.
