definitely suit the car you don't notice they're not painted and the won't crack either

When I got my old saff painted years ago he asked if I wanted mine painted when I said no he did look at me funny

Looks good mate, need to change that front plate though!!!

The other one you posted looks good, I tinted the headlights on an old astra I used to have, looked fucking cool as an 18 year old lad, but the lights were shit at night!

Looks smart that, and even more so with the smoked indicators, don't like the look of a light missing though

loose the light

suits the moody dark look of your car perfectly

i think theyd look good painted, but then the wheels would look odd as the lights and wheels have a good colour match so leave it

Looks well hard. Not sure I'd bother with the painting, on any other colour yes, but I like it as it is on black.

I wouldn't bother with the ducting bit though, you might get a bird fly up it.

Lights look cool,not sure about the indicators though.I think they look batmobileish left clear.Maybe tinted or try a orange quality st wrapper in there to see what it looks like.The only other thing I would do is change the number plate

Mondeo's probably one of a very few Ford's that look really good with quads. Nice addition

I really really dislike monorettes, but...............

They look really good on your car. The tinting and removal looks superb too

Lightbrows also give it a more aggressive look

Personally, I say get them colour coded and they do look better with the indicators tinted.

Cheers, much appreciated

Adding a few Marmite mods this year that'll divide most, but looking forward to getting them all done. Hopefully shall all be sorted and ready to break out by Ford Fair this year.
