Yet another mod.

If you want to change the colour of the cable between the nunchuck and the controller then you can get something called Heat Shrink Tubing which is basically a non-adhesive tubing (of many different colours) that you thread the cable throught and then apply some heat (like from a hairdryer) and it shrinks to fit around the cable.

You will need to make sure you get the right length though (maybe on a reel) so you dont see the joins.

Heat Shrink Tubing is designed to be used on cables so it should look a fairly neat job - if you can get the tubin on in the first place that is!

Yep, that's a good idea ...heatshrink tubing would look quite professional...just have to be careful about the amount of heat you use

Either Maplin/RSelectronics or Ebay would be the usual suspects.
It's actually quite cheap, but as mentioned, thetrick is getting it on there in one piece.

You'll also need a piece that will not reduce the flexibility of the cable....but there's enough variety around that that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks Gaffer! I now own soem heat inducing tubing from my local maplins. I have not used on my wii yet but have tried it on various bits of cable and even string now. Unfortuatly for me I left it out when a friend came over, and when I was occupied he put a small lenght of it on one of my shoe laces. Which I can say didn't work.

I am of the School of agreeing with Knuckles, cant see the point of risking damaging the wii (personal opinion) but also i must say they do look pretty smart
