A similar style does, but not those ones.And I didnt have the original wheels it came with... Theyre kinda balled.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through ford themselves? I took the mudflaps off, and there are some small scratches :( but on one side there is a mad scratch which has been rubbing for a while from the look of itAnd here's some more pictures without the mudflaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could try a white-goods store? (I hope Trainer notices this hilarity)But yeah Ford, or even your ordinary automotive shops would stock some white touch-up paint I'd imagine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But up to you what you decide to get Much nicer without the flaps.. But for touch up paint I went to an auto shop down here. Its burnt down since but I think it was called parts4. But any shop would do as long as you have the colour code. Open drivers door and look on the body directly behind the side mirror. Will be a 2 letter code. For example, my toxic BF is GT (standing for green toxic). Yours might be WW - winter white. But don't take my assumption lol check before you get it. My touch up bottle is like a big permo marker but unscrew the lip and you got a nail polish brush to use. Simple as. Under $10 it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check it out tomorrow and look at prices between eBay and ford. I also found the flap a bit funny haha. Had a good chuckle while thinking of it haha. I should also hopefully get my wheels next week. I think I'm going to do the Sicilian wheels in a stepped layout.
