I done the halo ring mod and some led floor lighting !.. maybe not everyones taste but i like them ! Ha ha

 

I quite like the halos. Mines got the optional xenons which if im honest im not that impressed with. I've been looking at upgrade bulbs but there's very few to choose from and they certainly aren't cheap!

And heres a side shot of my wagon

 

Glorious now, uprated HT's do make a nice improvement

 

Managed to give the big ol girl a wash today. Must of been over a month since her last bath😲
I also got round to fitting the wind deflectors.
The usual wash methods used, pre wash, 2bm etc etc.
Finished off by drying with gyeon silk dryer and sonus acrylic spritz.
Tyres dressed with carpro pearl.
Then a final wipe down of the paint work with sonus acrylic glanz.

Lovely jubbly, the best Mondeo to date, new one has gone to soft.

 

Looks great mate, love the wind deflectors :thumb:

 

loving the wind deflectors fella and what a great looking mondeo you have and the wheels suit it very well

 

Absolutely fantastic looking mondeo, looks mint!

Love the OEM look :thumb:

 

I haven't posted much recently so thought I'd update this thread.
That being said, this update is actually of a light enhancement detail I did back at the start of spring.
The body and wheels were washed, and de contaminated. Wheels sealed with fk1000p. Body work cleansed with dodo supernatural micro prime and protected with obsession dynasty.
Tyres dressed with carpro pearl, plastics with AF revive.
Windows polished with AF vision.
I ran out of time so didn't get a chance to do the engine bay or re fit the tail pipes.
Overall I was very happy with my efforts.

Apologies for the layout of the photos.
Tapatalk seems to be getting more user unfriendly of late?

Lokking awsome mate...epic job..well done

 

Lovely jubbly, very nice work and very nice Ford, probably the best Mondeo to date.

 

great job fella and well worth the effort

 

Great work. What's the mileage on the car now?

 

Here's the current mileage.

She's holding up quite well for her age.
It was mot time back in may and only one advisory came up which was slight rear brake imbalance.
The bonnet and front bumper have taken the brunt of 60k worth of driving along with the edges of the side skirts, which is to be expected.
I might treat her to some paint next summer. That's if the frs doesn't bankrupt me first!

Wow - that's a LOW mileage for a 13 year old car.

Good work

 

Small update for the ST.
Since fitting the alloy wheels the nuts had started to corrode quite badly especially with the roads being salted.

So I ordered some better quality nuts that have zinc plated inners with stainless heads.

I didn't get a chance to wash her but looking much better I think you'll agree.

Last month saw the mondeo receive a bit of mechanical tlc. It was also MOT time and a few jobs needed doing to make sure it passed.

First up was a oil and filter change at 68027 miles.

Next on the agenda were the front brakes. I'd been getting a strange on/off sensation through the brakes when coming to a stop and juddering+steering wheel wobble at high speed braking. I figured the front discs were warped so changed these along with the pads as well.
Discs used were brembo and pads were mintex 1144.

Then it was onto the MOT jobs.

The handbrake had started to stick on causing the rear brakes to bind and cook the discs. This is a common fault on the mk3 mondeo caused by the handbrake mechanism within the calipers seizing. Replacement calipers is the only cure so refurbed oem items were purchased along with brembo discs and mintex pads. I also took the opportunity to renew the brake fluid at this point.
No pics of this I'm afraid [emoji21]

Since the winter my windscreen has had a small crack in it. Then with the warm weather it decided to grow quite considerably.

I had to have the screen replaced whilst I was away as autoglass were fully booked locally. Can't complain about their service though. Very professional and no damage to the surrounding paint work.

Another casualty of the long winter was the drivers side headlamp washer which would no longer return after use. These are silly money from ford so I replaced it with a second hand item.

Silly me forgot to take a pic of it all refitted[emoji849]
On the subject of headlights the passenger side unit had started to fade and yellow so I removed it for a flat and polish.

Quite happy with my first attempt at headlight restoration.

So with all the jobs done I could do myself I took the car to a local tyre fitters for two new Yokohamas on the front end. Then it was off to the MOT centre where it passed with no advisories. Result[emoji16]

 

Lovely jubbly, by far the best looking Ford Mondeo to date, keep the updates coming matey.

 

Thanks.

I've neglected the engine bay recently and the polished inlet manifold has started to oxidize. So sorting that will probably be the next update along with fitting a polished throttle body I purchased a few weeks back.

 

Last week after pulling into my work car park a fellow colleague kindly laughed at me and pointed out one of my headlights was pink

He wasn't winding me up either[emoji849]

New bulbs please [emoji462]

And fitted.

Much better but the right hand headlight lens has a weird thing going on.

I've just recently restored this lens and it has highlighted many tiny cracks that seem to be in the plastic if that makes sense.

Not sure what can be done about this other than replacement.

 

used to have one of these although it was a 2.0 petrol was a comfy car
