Cleaned her up straight away, unfortunly the cd player wouldent input sound so i had to get a aftermarket one





Then i fitted mk4 trims



i then bought a set of foglights a i hate blanking caps, then i realise i can wire them in easy, so i did



I sold the trims after awhile and got the mondeo facelift ones, also 06 facelift bottom grille, also fitted leather steeringwheel at this point,

They were complete and had electric rear window loom fitted, mine diden't was quicker and easy to change the door instead, i changed the others as my drivers door was scratched and my passengers rear door had a pin dent that stood out like a sore thumb, was an easy job, need a drivers front wing tho as thats dented due to idiot in carpark

Just in case you didn't know, the face lift rear lights dont have reflectors so your car is illegal if you don't fit secondary reflectors onto the bumper like the face lift has. :L

If yours already has them then ignore me.

Something a bit strange with this one. Looks like it has headlamp washers or at least the cutouts for them? On a LX with no Xenons. Strange.
06 Titanium X 2.2 TDCi - 40mpg but not quick enough
57 Titanium X 2.5 Turbo - 20mpg but a proper sleeper - Sold :(
60 Mini Cooper D - 60mpg and handles like a go kart
