Looks good. It's surprising how a little change can make such a difference to front of the car.
Andrew.
Subtle changes can make a huge difference. I really think Ford should have stuck with the MK2 grille for the MK3. I feel they took away some of its edge with that slatted grille. It doesn't look bad but it certainly doesn't have the muscle or aggressive look the MK2 grille has, and for a sporty coupe originally based off the Mustang aggression and sporty looks are everything, at least in my humble opinion.
Did a deep clean of the car today as i needed it to look its best for the insurance evaluation, heres the fruits of my labour, sweat was literally dripping off me which made drying the car a challenge lol.
Engine bay. Not a patch on Fordaholic Nick's, but not too shabby either.

New grille in all its glory. Drilled out the spot welds for the old MK3 mounting points and removed them completely. I'm saving them though in case i ever want to go back to the MK3 grille and i can weld them back on. I need to get a couple more grille fix clips and screws as only 4 hold this on and theres mounting points for 8, theres only 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom at the moment. It's secure as is but...OCD. lol.

Love this photo, the sun really catches the metallic blue well here, and those 4-spokes are looking pretty nice with their brand new Uniroyal Rain Expert tyres.
