I work for Tarmac & sometimes that's has to be done! You can't leave a whole job because of 1 car as road space has to be booked & residents have to be notified well in advanced. Not all councils will have the right powers to move them either so will mean picking it up another day before the jobs completed. Looks like a surface dressing anyway so no major drama!

And more to the point it doesnt have the factory fit standard gaffa tape on the bumpers!

Chip

Do they just go back and fill in the bits at a later date then? As surely they cant leave it like that as without the kerb to provide an edge to it that will all just peel away?

PMSL when you mention gaffa tape lad from my work had one with the grey gaffa tape

Chip

They should have brought out a range of gaffa tape in specific mondeo paint code colours

Fucking shocking design by ford, total fuckup, how can they get something so simple so fucking wrong?

SO many half decent cars scrapped over dings to both bumpers as they are like rocking horse shite to try and find cause everyone else has done the same thing.

They should have been sued for negligance by the owners!

Jimbo.

Reminds me of these

RickyLee53

LOL @ chip, I was just about to say the same about the gaffer tape.

Also hahaha at the lines, clearly somebody having a laugh.

Fiddy

They were only standard fit on MK2's, MK1's had proper bumpers

gjh

Awsome pics.

haha that is sooooooo funny, i never really noticed before but ABSOLUTELY EVERY mondeo i see of that age has gaffa tape on the bumpers

Does look like surface dressing. By time they get the car moved it will be in need of being redone anyway as it doesn't last 5 minutes. Authorities like it as it's cheap so they get more roads done for their money. They'd do better not wasting it on shit and surfacing the road properly.

Do you also lay this sticky black shit for a living !?

carlfiesta999

I would have dragged the piece of shit out the way

and yes mk2 bumpers are like eggshells, i used to use my old TD mk1 mondeo to push my scrap cars around, never did more than damage the paint, all i did in my MINT mk2 zetec was nudge a lampost and it shattered like glass :@

Oranoco

Nope. I do work for a local authority and on the whole find surface dressing to be a cheap and nasty way of getting a couple more years out of a road surface. I'm sure when it's done right it might be ok, but it's usually thrown together by people that couldn't care less.
