Default need a part number from a ford employee please

the other week i went to a ford dealer to order a pair of inner wings for a mondeo st as they are different to the normal run of the mill mondeo due to the bumpers and wings being wider

so they ordered the bits up and i collected them the next day

the only problem is that they are exactly the same as the ones i've got, meaning they don't fit

but there is only one part number listed for the inner wing, which is why i've had to pay a 15% surcharge on returning correctly ordered parts

anyone help?

how can they charge a surcharge? did YOU make a mistake or did their company (even if not the employee themself)

apparently as i didn't give a chassis/reg number they have ordered the correct part

even though it's not the corect part as i took some pictres to show exactly how much of an incorrect part it was

so they checked the numebrs and the parts that they ordered do apparently match up to the parts that are suitable for the car i was ordering them for, even though they still can't explain why they don't fit

at least i got a partial refund, if i hadn't of gone back within 7 days as stated i would have got jack

ST220 mate
'04 as opposed to facelifted '53 as that's what the wings are from
and the bumper

Dojj - Tell them to fcuk off with their surcharge.. If THEY failed to ask the relevant questions to determine the correct parts THEY are at fault. did they warn you saying they maybe wrong? if not tell them to get screwed.

nope, they loaded up the screen to say it was for an 04 mondeo st220 after i'd told them i didn't have a reg number or a chassis number

subsequent investigations though have lead me to believe that there is a problem with their system as the parts have a "-st220/titanium x" after them, but no one is sure as to what that means

even though i would have thought it meant these cars would have a different part

i shall give the parts man another go as i've discovered another surprisingly surprising alternative to getting stuff from ebay "because people are selling it and the buyers are in a frenzy"
