Re: upgrading visable ford parts on Sumo Mk3

I changed the sierra column switches for some chrome ones and primed/sprayed the shrouds the same colour as the body, it does make a difference. :thumb:

Re: upgrading visable ford parts on Sumo Mk3

Hi Tony

You have mentioned in one of your threads that you have changed the
column switches for some chrome ones!

Thanks
