I'm going to paint the base section on my SL-X pole yellow so it's distinctive as one of my previous carbon poles was driven over by a woman driver who mounted the pavement where my pole was laying. She totally refused to cough up for the damage as she crushed my pole into tiny splinters.
A couple days later I noticed Karma had paid her a visit as her brand new, top of the range, Mercedes had been vandalised with three very long, deep, key/knife scratches all down one entire side when she'd parked up locally. I'd like to thank the person who vandalised her car and shake their hand.
What goes around, comes around.
