right, because a mondeo is the epitome of style and quality...

and Mr Footlong, 474bhp in that thing? Must be mental, even 300 is pretty brutal in one of those

didn't see the 474 bhp, i'll let yours off

Mr Footlong · 1 Jun 2008 at 21:05

Cheers mate. I actually got her to 492 with her last remap with Mr Rawle but as of this weekend that is no longer

. I am having half the mods removed at the moment to prepare her for sale (Flaming petrol costs)

. I will make even more money selling some of the more choice mods seperate to the beast.

Cheers, I am so gutted it's untrue

. Of the 3 I have owned, I have poured far more blood, sweat and tears in to this one. Such a shame to have to let go of a car you have practically perfected in your eyes. Woman is over the moon as she can't stand the clutch or the fuel consumption lol, bint

Surely a few pence increase of petrol isn't the main reason for sale? You must have spent a few k on the car?

DannyW · 1 Jun 2008 at 21:22

is the clutch heavy then?

tell her to dump it at 6k in 5th

Mr Footlong · 1 Jun 2008 at 21:24

Few pence? You must be kidding! At £1.23-1.26 per litre around here and me getting 150 miles per tank at approx £60 (at least 1 tank per week normally) you soon feel the pinch! My folks have got a few financial problems too that I have been helping them out with as well so I really have no choice at all.

Lol god no! Just driving from home to work once (10 miles) is enough for her to trash the clutch. Judder city for a couple of days after she drives it before the car forgives me!

Mine's not THAT bad

A lot of the dash is soft plastic, not hard edged bits like you'd get on a Suzuki or something

DannyW · 3 Jun 2008 at 22:33

L.E.D's for the ultimate win

tape player FTL

(don't ask)

Tom|Nbk · 3 Jun 2008 at 22:34

Look nice and bright. How much?

DannyW · 3 Jun 2008 at 22:35

they are abit too bright tbh

rubber mats FTL aswell

roll on pay day

skiba · 3 Jun 2008 at 22:49

Looks good to me, subtle.

Howard · 4 Jun 2008 at 08:52

Awesome

And what's with the tape player

You'll fit a nice double din satnav/dvd head unit in there hehe

Phil W · 4 Jun 2008 at 14:03

I always find that although brighter, LED's don't have the same coverage as Halogens do, leading to dark areas that wouldn't normally be there with Halogen bulbs

Still, can't grumble at the price, and certainly does look more modern, and fresh

DannyW · 4 Jun 2008 at 17:36

Phil, the LED bulb is a lot brighter then the normal bulb i took out.

howard, sold my ford 6000cd when i bought the car and put in an mp3 player, but now i want one with usb input so getting one next week hopefully

DannyW · 22 Jun 2008 at 16:43

de-badged it now, heres a pic for anyone who cares

and tryed out some SRP + EGP

just needs lowering and tinting then it'll be summat like, but as you can see they have re-tarmac'd my street in place for speed bumps
