Hi Tony.

Looking good One concern is the position of the front numberplate , below the grille, I dont think you will have enough ground clearance once the kit is on the car

Keep up the good work and get that garage cleared out, long dark evenings are upon us.....

Thanks Tytek, hardest part is working out the Photobucket part.

[tonyt]

As requested

Thanks Tony, that is a big help to my own build.

Can't you have the number plate above vents?

Yes, if its too close when the kit is fitted thats the next option, my base car is on standard springs so I might get away with it.

Day off today, raining! Still a fruitfull trip to my local scrap yard, all this for a £10 note, no Mondeo or Rover was safe. Lots of grill and vent options to consider. Noted number plate issue mine is on standard springs so may be ok if not a stick on plate above the vents will be the answer.

[tonyt]

My original idea was a Mondeo ST grill with the surround painted black, think a chrome surround would be better, combined with the ST mesh.

[tonyt]

Think chrome looks best.

[tonyt]

Vent mesh done.

[tonyt]

Anyone for leftovers?

[tonyt]

Fitting mesh to vents.

[tonyt]

All front vent mesh now in rear still to fit.

[tonyt]

Belt and braces, two of the captive bolts on the double skinned bonnet and boot lid were loose after transit, all now glued and set in place.

[tonyt]

I've now got a choice of grills, and for those of us on a low budget I have found black plastic mesh used on two of these grills, I have stainless mesh but I don't think it will look right on the rear vents, so I will use this. The mesh is lightweight its called gutter mesh and its £1 a roll at Poundland of all places, looks as good as ally mesh but will not corode.

Hi the centre grill is that stainless steel?

[tonyt]

Yes mix of Mondeo Ghia plastic chrome and SS off a painted Mondeo ST mesh.
