Is my mondeo a facelift
I have a 53 plate mondeo zetec s but I don't know if its a facelift, reason I ask is I want a Haynes manual but I'm right on the cross over point.
I've read you can tell by the bumpers but no visual guide is shown.
Any ideas please chaps.

The Zetec S one is quite different to the ST one.
Yes. Do you have this interior...
Which is pre-facelift...
Or this dash...
Which, you may have deduced via the power of elimination, is facelift.

Totally different mate, been there done that got the tshirt, even wrote the fucking manual 
To fit the st bumper you need the following st specific items
Fog lights
Fog light surrounds
Fog light loom
Out air temperature switch
Bumper under tray
Wings
Wheel arch liners
Side skirts
You may also need the headlight washer jet covers but these are not st specific as they are the same across the range
You can also use your under engine cover as, again, these are the same across the board
You will also need all the vehicle spcific nuts bolts clips and screws to hold it all together as they use more than the standard fixings
But you can bolt the bumper on to the standard wings and it looks like you've out the wrong bumper on as nothing else fits to it, even the arch liners are deeper and there is nothing to fix them to the bumper with as there is no plastic where there needs to be as its about 2 inches out
The grilles on the other hand, be it the one at the top where the key goes into or the lower one that sits in the bumper, these can be interchangeable depending on which Mondeo you have, and don't forget, the later titanium models also can with st kit on the front, just not badged as st's as they didn't have the same rear bumpers
There are other subtle differences but in sure you will not be satisfied that its not as straight forward as you may think and unless your motor was a later titanium version, what you have said in the above post is a little misleading

It should not have fitted, the lower part of the inner arch liners sit 2 inches further back as well as 2 inches further up that the st bumper and the fog lights are totally different, so much so that they won't even plug in to anything other than the st fog lights and the under tray is st specific as its much deeper and a totally different shape to the standard versions
And you are adamant that it was the st bumper and not a zetec-s that you were told was an st bumper?
It's almost like saying a saph bumper will fit directly to a 3 door
They will "fit" but its a lot of fucking about and it doesn't look right
