    I don't believe "spare" parts are a good idea because of the life time warranty but "Custom" parts, now theres an Idea! Id like to see different coloured balls, motors, LEDs, bands etc etc
    given half the chance, id mod my Powerball in no time!

    Hay hay, i know im super new to the forum, and to powerballing myself, got my first a week ago, but it wasn't working right, so technically I started powerballing last night [when my replacements arrived]

    but I agree with some of the above, if you called them 'Custom parts', eg, diffrent coloured parts from stock defaults, then have to pay for them.

    I myself wouldn't mind buying a:
    Black Solid Top half,
    Red Transparent Bottom Half,
    Black Counter [rather than gray]
    and a Red Grip band

    to go with my Neon Blue Pro, [of course if all those colours/parts ever got made]

    yeah, i know, i got Weird Tastes, but hay... would be very unique hehe

    i wouldnt mind a "stealth ball" the PURE BLACK sphere with a cherry red grip band and cherry red chrome counter... just use a black rotor like the signature but without the lights... all for a bargain price of 32 quid Thats what would be cool...

    Well last I heard the new website would be up by October of LAST year.
    The poll clearly shows that people would purchase spare parts. What is the status of this, anyone?

    I don;t really know the status, But in answer to the poll I would definitely want some spare parts around. I only had my powerball for like 7 days before I decided to switch to the real thing w/ the better warranty I can;t wait for my allowance to come in so I can get another one already! must.. get.. powerball..

    I tried to search for hybrid balls, to see if it would be ok to put my regular rotor in a signature shell (after the different looking support band started to dissintigrate), but it turns out hybrid is the name of a forum user, and my search ended in (gasp) mild irritation.
    seems to be working fine though, and a smoked shell, black grip band and yellow (yes yellow) rotor look really badass!
    My point being i'd love to be able to buy both spare and custom parts, although i cant quite see it working from a business/manufacturing perspective as the things must be so cheap to produce, making such little profit and only realy being sold to the hordcore powerballers, but on the other hand it wouldent be much hasstle so why not please the customers?

    Finally Darrin, why not spend a few quid on a tube of the rubber tyre filler stuff, and let it eventually pay for itself with the fall in petrol consumption through ditching the extra wheel?

    I'm sure i would buy gripbands. It's really handy to have some (clean) spare ones.
