After getting rid of the MK3 a couple of months back, ive been missing the V6, so ive bought another one. its a ghia x, so got all the toys, full heated electiric leather, cruise control, electric sunroof etc etc etc. its got an st kit, with a 200 rear bumper with twin exit stainless exhausts. ive just fitted my black monzas today, but cant make my mind up if i preferthem tothe standard wheels ?. its no 500bhp cossie, but for what ive paid for it, im over the moon with it.

 

Black wheels look far better m8.

 

standard wheels for me. Looks good and rare I think with the kit as a few came with it as standard

 

Tidy looking mota that mate, you have got locking wheelnuts on this one havnt you lol.

 

Prefer the standard wheels mate

Steve

 

personally never liked the saloon version, rear lights look a bit of an after thought to me, prefer the black wheels more stealthy next job would be lowering

 

Standard wheels for me too, never liked black ones myself.

 

I prefer the Standard rims to the blacks Craig

 

Standard wheels for me......looks tacky with the black ones

 

not a bad car if you put the standard wheels back on, those nasty black ones look like they came straight outta the Ripspeed section

 

No ginge, ive got two sets mate

 

Ive always prefered the saloons mate, my MK3 was a saloon aswell. and it will be getting lowered in the not to distant future

 

Im leaning that way, but looks were in the minority lol


Cheers for the comments and opinions gents

 

Prefer the MK3 Mondy

 

So do i fella. dont prefer the depreciation, i gave Ł5k for mine, spent Ł2k on it, and 2 years later got Ł2k for it, so basically lost what id paid for it in 2 years, and got back what id spent on it. with the mk2's, there cheap as chips, and worth more in bits. and tbh, compared to the mk3, it doesnt drive bad, i thought it would be country miles apart, but there isnt a lot of difference.

 

im thinking about geting one of these after i went in one after my christmas party,,seemed quick and had a nice ride nice car!!

 

There a lot of car for the money fella.

 

Well if that is the case then i woulda ran the thing into the ground, got my money's worth out of it atleast


Just not a fan of MK2 Mondeo's at all really, I would like a MK3 ST TDCI tho

 

Prefer the black wheels! Need to do something about the wood trim!!

 

Your not the first person to mention the wood rich. im going to lower it and see what it looks with the black wheels on, im leaning towards leaving them on anyway, but think it will look a lot better once it lowered.

 

There was a possabilty of the tax going upto Ł400+ a year when the new tax laws come in, and id lost enough money on it already, so i wasnt paying that to tax it, so cut my losses while i could.


I like the ST TDCI, lovely cars

 

cheap car to run about in.

cannot see you losing any money on this car.

 

Nail And Head Dave

 

looks nice.

 

Really nice cars the Mondeo V6's but I do prefer the standard wheels and I don't like the fake wood on the dash. They are great cars for the money and I'd like one for my wife to run around in

 

Love it. Prefer the original wheels, but purely because of the ride height. Once sorted it'll be good.

Benni.

 

Cheers benni, it will be lowered by the new year. the stance is better on the standard rims, the standards are 16's with 205/55/16's, the black rims are 17's with 205/40/17, so even though the black wheels are an inch bigger, the standard rims fill the arches more because of the tyres.

 

I don't think the standard wheels suit the ST kit, I'd get some ST24 wheels or a set of 18s. Brilliant cars I had 1999 ST and it was fantastic, pulled like a train.

 

Looks smart mate


Brian

 

get some antracite comps wedged on itd look the bollocks on them.

 

nice motor mate it looked better today with the polish on it. Its a lovely car to drive i want one myself. Just wish we could get rid of ruths fiesta and get one. I think it will cost to much to run as well as runnin the cossie. Glad you like it mate i didnt think you suited the escort you had.

 

Standard rims - black ones just look like someones stolen your hubcaps!

 

My brother had a Mk2 V6 a couple of years ago. A lot of car for the cash. Was a thirsty bugger though.

And I'm in the minority and like the black wheels but it needs lowering

 

Id love to mate, bit pricey, but they would look nice.

 

Cheers for polishing it buddy, defo looked better, goes and sounds better now we have put the viper on and took that cheap shite induction kit of aswell. as you say mate, it does drive nice, you should know, ive only had it two days, and you've drove it twice lol. ill get on ruths case, ive already managed to get you out of your wedding aniversary celebrations so you can go to croft, ill work on her to get shot of the festa and get a mondy now

 

They are a bit thirsty if your heavy with your right foot, but steady away you get 22 - 25 mpg. i am going to leave the black wheels on it, and it will be lowered by new year.

 

looks sweet fiddy i prefer the black monza wheels mate i hate them std wheels with a passion lol

 

Cheers craig. i wasnt so sure about the monza's when i put them on yesterday, looked a bit 'to' black. but the more i look at it, the more they grow on me, they do look better in the flesh than the pics, glenn said the same when he seen it today. i also think once its lowered, it will look better.

 

 

My old wheels didn,t get much of a rest Fiddy,I prefer the monza,s it just needs lowered
