Colin, there is a matched spray can in the box of bits I gave you. It is matched to a Ford colour, can't recall the name.

Sorry to hear about the brake Colin, I would imagine that minimal use probably contributed to that. Glad that you will have the proper steering wheel and mirror soon, that was a good price by the way. Keep hold of the mirror, always handy as those plastic mounts are stupidly fragile.

All the best.

Ken

Hi Colin

Good luck with the car mate.

I saw this car last year just after Ken bought it, and then I thought it was a cracker.

Lovely little car

Btw do u still need a steering wheel, I have a spare, that was given to me a while ago.

All the best

Darren

Gentle application of a screwdriver (flat blade) and a cloth to protect the body from scratches. Once started, it will come off quite easily.

Be careful not to damage the pins on the small trim pieces at the very ends of the rear trim sections though.

Best to order new clips for the trim pieces :D
