only for show use, nver on the road. had an underglow kit to go with it but never fitted it and is blue and having a black and green theme on the mondeo

hard luck on the rot. glad your fixing rather than breaking and getting another one

neons look sweet behing grille, im thinking of amber strobe lights into my fog lamps

i saw an escort van in roadworks with amber LED strobes in the fog lights on mondeo 16's and all colour coded and extra strobes in the rear reflectors. looked really good

your before and after is the same pic

 

i have the richbrook tax disc holder in my mondy. looks good

 

please take the RS badges off. they dont look right on an Si and if i got grief for having GTi on my ghia even though they have same engine, how much for a non RS engined RS :P

 

plasmer dials look cool. was gonna get a set for mine but never bothered. might look into it for the mondeo but prob not.

 

not a fan of raisers myself but if you like em then enjoy :thumb:
