Hello all.
Ive recently purchased 476, and im slowly getting it back to how it should be, previous owner just used it and didnt really look after it, apart from keep it clean.
Ive noticed a few owners have fancy door sills, where can i get these from???
Cheers

welcome to FRP ownership.
Only done a thousand miles in mine and its one of the best cars i've ever owned / driven :)

Try either of the following for door sills
http://www.pumabuild.co.uk or http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk

Can recommend cannon mud flaps if you haven't any flaps already :) see F&Q's then CANNON MUDFLAPS post

If you mean the car number then yes for example 0476 would be yours.
This should be how it is stamped on your manifold.

Welcome to the site, hope you are enjoying your car; do you have much to do? :)

Ive just done all the brakes, timing belts, tyres. it needs a clutch a service new windown seal and a slap of paint.
I use the car every day so its abit awkward getting time to do it.

These have never been fitted to my FRP, I have the original Ford Racing ones on there that were available in 2000 :)
