jack_c Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks! Very pleased with the result so far, It definitely has been a challenge but rewarding when you get the desired result, It will be fitted to a 5480 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Another brilliant fergy from you jack,I have a similar idea but on the new 5430. Genuine mf 50th red is a bang on match for the modern massesy from uh e.g 5480 7499 and 6475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_c Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Great, Thanks for that Got some of the other colours from dealer so will pick up a can of red next time I'm past Only problem is when I go in I end up buying another model aswell haha Have a 5430 on the way to get the works so its a replica of our new 5440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
