hicksy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Welcome to mondeo ownership Have you thought about a set of ST24 seats or ghia X ones, they dont cost the earth for the mk2 like they do for the mk3:( Im not the biggest fan of the wheels you have, but for £45 they are a bargain and are alot better than the 15inch GTi wheels. Nice subltle mods too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
