Post by adam on May 13^th, 2012, 2:54pm

Saw this on Gumtree. Think it looks worse. What do you think?

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 8)

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!

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. ???

Did you get the insurance sorted for it Daniel ?

Title: Re: Facelift gone wrong!
Post by Daniel on May 15^th, 2012, 2:41pm

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.
Dan ;D

Have to agree about the spoiler, yeeech.... ;D

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.
;D

If your lucky it will have been painted in the orignal colour rather then a custom one, you can fill the holes and touch them in with a paint pen

Looks like might be tourmallard green to me (?)

I was trying to think what the front-end most reminds me of, then saw one today, one of the newer Audi's.

Yeah can see where your coming from on that. Hopefully i will see some of you and your scorpios at a show soon.
Dan ;D
