Quite like it actually - doesn't look bodged or like a boy-racer job.
Is that a Mondeo grille & headlights ?
Looks like is was professionally done.
I'd give it a thumbs up

I kinda agree with Adam. The front aint right on it, and it would take a lot to put it right. But each to their own!

That's very modern looking actually, if you compare it with what else is trundling about these days.

When you go for insurance quotes(phone or internet) don't use the word 'cosworth' just say 2.9, they will have details when you give your reg number, it may come up as cosworth or it may not.

If the front looks as good in the flesh, so to speak, as it looks in the picture, thats a cool job. Not so sure about the boot.

Yes mate gonna swap over current aviva insurance to new one for drive home then i found ASDA? will do £47 per month for 10 months third party fire and theft. It will do for now then when our curent scorpio is sold we can look at going fully comp with a proper car insurance company instead of the supermarket lol. Thanks for asking mate just want to get hold of seller now but no reply. starting to worry now.

Pick car up saturday but i imagine that would leave holes in boot lid? What would you use to fill them?
It has to go no question but what mess it might leave after is a bit of a worry.
