MATTY 7530 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Sure the floorpans on 8730 or black anyway i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yeah, the 30 series had black rear mudguards, also worth repainting the body and bonnet as they're different colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05rich Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 thanks for the advice guys , but i am going to try to stick to the orgional britains colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Get some dealer Ford Tractor blue & grey aerosols and respray it with them. The "white" parts of a Ford aren't white and look much better in the correct colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 8830 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 do not paint a good original floorpan put it to one side and use a repro one if you are going to. or sell the floorpan to me!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Those wheels look ace Rich, they from the Valtra? Just one thing though, how come you're so eager to keep it to the incorrect Britains colour scheme when you're changing other stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
