Oh dear.

Only thing I like about that car is the rather nice wheels.

Question

I dont understand - if this was a 5 door scoob in the members gallery, there would be comments of:

Nice.

Like it.

Good work.

Whats the difference? Both 5 door, both have a bit of oooph.

ID - confused

I have a Mondeo V6 Si estate that took the place of my Scoob !
It is as good as car as I have had !
He just needs to get that bonnet away to **** and have the regular Mondeo rear spoiler put on and it is a sweet looking car IMO
Years ago I had a mk 1 Mondeo with full RS kit all nice and low, Loved it !

Well I reckon it looks crap, but each to their own ey? I drove my mum's 1.8 the other day and it was actually pretty good fun I thought... too much road noise for a family car though

It's not bad looking.

A bit OTT but no worse than some nasty scoobs you see.

£10k about double its value though!

We should all club together and buy it - than smash it to pieces and burn it, we could get funding from the Lottery people for community service..

10K for a Mondeo with a Fiesta spoiler on it, WTF!!!!

It looks like one of the Nova boys cars, with bits stuck all over, it looks ridiculous, wonder if his insurance company know of all the mods?

Beauty is definately in the eye of the beholder

The wheels and the lowering are okay, everything else seems a tad OTT. I'd want a reduction for taking all that out of the boot too!



Though has been said many a time - it would be a dull place if we all agreed all the time.

Astoundingly bad. aside from the obvious why do it at all, why do it to a mundano etc etc, why an estate of all things??? and no surprise to see that they havent touched the engine... of course the brakes have been touched, so the calipers can be painted! gimpgimpgimpgimpgimp.

Not too sure about the style of the 3 spare wheels in the boot either.

Dont mind it to be honest.

Its not like the bodykit is OTT like the Streetfighter kit for the MK2 Mondeo, that does look cr@p. Looks like its just subtle additions to the Standard ST24 RSA Kit, wheels are different from the ones in the eBay photo, more subtle 6 or 7 spoke design. The I.C.E in the car is down to personal taste, however if your looking seriously at that car then your main objective isnt to carry bags of cement around, or to house the 3 dogs on a run...

As far as engine tuning goes, its personal taste, if the owner wanted a car that had blistering performance why would he buy a Mondeo, and more importantly why an estate!! The modifications he has done are all that are needed to make the engine sound a bit nicer and breath a bit more easily. This is a car that is meant to be "all show, and not a lot of go" and as far as that goes I think it does it pretty well and looked nice when it was featured in Fast Ford!!

Thats me done... *Flame Suit Fitted, ready for replies!!*

Cheers,
Grant
