Show & Shine Photo Thread

Riksta · 04-10-2012, 12:01 AM

Just thought I'd start a thread for us Mondeo owners to share photos of our cars with each other and comment on them.

Feel free to share as many pictures of your Mondeo as you like!

I'll start with a few shots of mine (pre-DRL installation) over at Streaky Bay in August this year.

And here's some old ones - taken not long after I bought the car, prior to tint & plates being done!

marcusturbo · 04-10-2012, 11:17 PM

A few pictures that I took a while back. Kinda makes me need to do the same again.

Pictorial story of "Mina" (her name for the car) the 'Belgian Bahnstormer' (my name for the car) - a 2011 MC Mondeo Zetec Ecoboost in Dark Micastone.

Running gag at work is that its proof I'm an accountant - my mid life crisis car is a grey Mondeo....

Five minutes after taking delivery

Nice road trip in the first 24hrs to 'settle her in'

New set of boots

Fitted up a spare set of Euro plates I had hibernating in the shed

Bit of trial and error cabinet work in the rear to trial fit full size spare

with added bonus of a flat floor with the rear seats down...

....so I could sleep in the her...

...rather than carting the whole camping kit along...

....on a club camping trip

Looking really good guys, keep them coming!

Greane01 · 05-10-2012, 11:11 PM

You asked for it!

And what about a photoshopped Mondeo? Lowered, larger diameter wheels and de-badged...!

Loving my new DRLs!

Pesky Mazda 6 got in the way of a good photo!

Lots of ways - heres the two I use

1. Hover curser over picture, menu pops up..

move curser over IMG Code box and left click mouse, address string will be copied; paste into forum post (right click and select paste from menu or CTRL + V on keyboard) - should look something like this

2. From open picture, got to menu on right side of page

move curser over IMG Code box and left click mouse, address string will be copied; paste into forum post (right click and select paste from menu or CTRL + V on keyboard) - should look something like this

And the obligatory Mondeo photo for the post - camping at Lake Tinaroo

mighty-mon · 06-10-2012, 01:04 PM

Wow..Thanks JimStone.

Im at work today (crappy retail hours) but will try your methods tonight. I was kind of on the right track however give it another go.

Riksta · 06-10-2012, 07:07 PM

Jimstone thank you for the how to there, appreciated. I forgot some people might not know how to do the pics, that's fantastic the post you've done and the way you've gone into heaps of detail.

Here's a few more randoms of mine I've done through phone/instagram etc.

Bucknaked · 06-10-2012, 07:18 PM

I don't really have all that many of mine. These pics are when I bought it 3 and 1/2 years ago. Nothing has changed

. Except for the number plate. And it now has 42,000 k's on the clock

mighty-mon · 06-10-2012, 09:08 PM

These quad tips were on my MA Mondeo and have now been swapped over to the new MB . Loved the Sea Grey so much that the new car was purchased in the same colour.

mighty-mon · 06-10-2012, 09:10 PM

She has a few Mods and now sits at circa 180kw/500nm atw.

mighty-mon · 06-10-2012, 09:33 PM

And a few of the engine bay

Love the Titanium upper and lower grilles!

Riksta · 13-10-2012, 02:18 PM

Loving the photos popping up. The Mondeo is a strangely photogenic car!

I might try get a few more of mine today.

Looking good!

I've been thinking of adding the titanium grilles myself. Did you buy them from dealership or elsewhere ?

Cheers.

gh172 · 13-10-2012, 11:09 PM

Thanks for that!

Easy enough to fit?

mas89 · 14-10-2012, 02:18 PM

Yes with the bumper off it is a matter of click out click in.... The parking sensor may be the hardest part as the plastic part that holds the sensor is a different shape for the lower part of the grille it is in... I cut mine down and drilled another hole...maybe ford may have that part for the sensor to sit in for the titanium or just modify the old ones..

Doesn't sound too hard. Thanks for the feedback , appreciate it!

nevetsg · 15-10-2012, 12:33 PM

Damn you Maz and your Chinese websites. Now I want to buy and Chrome top gril (came from NL fairlane, I like my chrome) and the xr5 bottom grill but I don't have the spare $$.

Still tempted to paint my current ones black though...

Ros5co · 15-10-2012, 02:56 PM

Here's a few shots of my Ink Blue Zetec shortly after I took delivery lasy year. Plus one I took the other day after hosing her ready for it's first wash following last weekend's wax job. Always amazes me how the water droplets ball up to look like frost.

Riksta · 15-10-2012, 07:58 PM

Ros5co, are those your front wipers up in that last photo?

If so, how do you do it without scraping the bonnet - mine don't have enough clearance to lift up like that, always scared to do it in case I start taking paint off the top edge of the bonnet!

To do this you push wiper control down within 3 sec when you turn ign off.( I do believe ).

True...It was also like that in my revious Passat's and Golfs.

Another reason to read the manual.

Anyway, back to some awesome pics guys...

Now onto my second Mondeo and I have always wondered about this ...just thought it was a design fault

Riksta · 16-10-2012, 08:34 AM

I always thought it was a design fault too!!! When I get to work and shut the car off this morning, going to try remember to hit that wiper control to see what happens!
