Fenside MF Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not a conversion as such but thought my siku mf 8270 could do with a few improvements. I have only started recently but so far I have glazed the cab doors added inside and outside door handles,attached grab rails and the right style mirrors on to the cab and got rid of the incorrect beacons on the roof ready to repaint.

Fenside MF Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks Joe,thanks for the link loads on there to choose. Cheers paul,knowing you have driven an 8450 would you have a pic at all or brochure pic that shows the interior side of the sunroof,I'm guessing it has a handle and its not flat like mine,I guess 8270 would be same as 8450?
