Just read pretty much all of this from the start, now I need a rest! Epic build thread, nice power too! Looks sweet!

I may have missed it, but did you vinyl wrap the middle of the front bumper and if so was it pre-cut or did you do it yourself? I am thinking of putting some vinyl down on that part myself and not checked on any threads yet to see if anyone else has done it.

Mondeo MK3 LX - Silver, family runabout, 1.8 16v, standard, does the job!

Well thank you very much.

I sprayed the middle of the front bumper, wanted to eradicate that purple altogether so it just got sprayed matt black. Because black is so prone to stone chips too the matt black is really easy to touch up!

Cool stuff, thanks. I am still toying with the idea, but everything is still so standard on mine (apart from brake callipers, going to go 'Hammered Black' I think soon), I just can't decide. But that looks good, I like the decals on the bonnet too, in fact I used to go for decals like you have on the boot too, but lately been going for a stickerless look.....I can appreciate the PW quote though, and your reason behind it, I too take 'some' inspiration from the F&F films.

Very nice build!

Sounds good, car is looking good as well.

Last time I took my one down the tip, one of the guys said "nice car". Do still get noticed.

Fitted some retro mirrors which I LOVE!! Visibility is shocking but I'll learn to live with it, just have to turn my head more.









Quite a weight saving too...

At least, if not more....the wee 1.6 needs all it can get

I know they'll divide opinion but I think they suit it pretty well and were dead easy to fit, only hard part was making up new base plates.
