Basically, get it to look exactly the same as Tom's.

i have a chrome grill surround as mine is a ghia x....and also mine is a different red. Mine is electric current red, his is the much much darker pepper red.

You need to paint the house, pebbledash never looks good in its natural cement colour.

Haha this isn't GD!

Nice car, espically for the money.

Doesn't that much better with clear indicators and I'm sure your mum won't be bothering too much about it.

Ron? I dont think that Tom's car is a fugly car, pretty respectable, when of course the world doesnt try to destory it.

It was your car that made me like Mk2 Mondeos with RSAP (and to some extents these wheels) - hence why when I spotted this one, I pushed my mum into having a look at it!!

As for mods, well we'll see - probably not at the moment, but I'll try to make a few suggestions and see if she bites

No, it doesn't, why are people on here so obsessed with bloody indicators

What?

Maybe because they're a stupidly cheap mod which makes a good deal of difference :confused:

At the moment the side indicator doesn't suit the front detango

Viper² · 22 Apr 2008 at 23:24

How much are de-tango'd indicators, and where would one find one?

there never was a front 'tango', so it's hardly been detangoed has it?

I did not know this. In any case it should be done. It would suit better.

Here you go Viper

Cheers mate.

Confused · 22 Apr 2008 at 23:56

I may well have to get a set of clear indicator lenses and just swap them, I doubt mum would notice the change anyway!

Good job. She will get more cred at Tesco now.

I didn't realize anybody was obsessed :/, it looks better clear in my opinion.

Smoked always works better on dark cars IMO, well most colours come tho think of it.

Very nice looking motor :cool:
