Never works swapping lights from manufacturer to manufacturer, the bonnet always ends up looking daft and the fiesta had such a nice front anyway....each to their own.

I have morettes on one of my 205s and I much prefer the standard ones and will swap back once I sort the cooling and cold air feed / new intercooler.
