Default Zetec S bumpers on Mk3 Fiesta

Why do people bastardise the looks of the Mk3 by fitting these bumpers???

You end up with an up to dat back end and a front end that looks even older because of it. It just doesn't work yet the kids go mad for it

Think I'm getting old

i aint old but i agree with oranoco they just dont suite the arse end of the car with the black plastic trim on the top that matches nothing else on the car smooth ones look better but still not right e.g


now as for the mk5 arse end conversion the boot and lights look ok they do have a bit more of a flow to them


Im putting an original rs accesory rear bumper on mine an original mk3 option from new. (minus the daft cut out for the number plate!)

Quite like the Zetec S bumper on a mk3, providing the rest of the styling suites it, I.E. not XR/RS kit.

Zetec S rear bumper + RS2k Skirts + Si front and Cossie bib, looks cool

Mk4/5 Boot conversion is awful though, doesn't match the rest of the car at all

All down to personal taste i suppose though, good job we don't all do the same things with our cars

Oh God NO What a complete mismatch of shapes and contours

Agree completely

Definately. We need people to royally fuck up their cars as it makes those of us with some degree of taste stand out
