Ford Mondeo Fun by MS Design

[mikeyb]

New styling kit

Ford tuning may be big business in the United States, but in Europe tuning is mainly targeted at European manufacturers. There are a few excepetions, like GeigerCars, Loder1899 and MS Design.
Loder1899 has already shown their interpretation of the new Ford Mondeo, and today MS Design has released information about their Ford Mondeo Fun.
The Ford Mondeo Fun features a new body styling kit, claiming that it will bring colour into your life and onto the roads. MS Design has made a new front and rear diffuser giving the entire car a more 'off-road-capable' look, and also fitted new 20 inch MSF2 wheels.

Wow, I dig it all.

 

[mikeyb]

^Is that because it looks alot like the new Mazda6 sport wagon?

 

[coolmazda5]

Nice. The off-road appearance and 20in wheels w/ low profile tires combination make it look awkward (dunno, I like it either/or instead), but a couple of inches lower would fix that.

nice, another tall wagon !!! reminds me of the cx9

Its not a tall wagon from the factory. This has after market bits and pieces on it.

 

[coolmazda5]

^ Now, THAT is the Mazda6 wagon look-a-like (or vice-versa?), family at last

CX-9? IMO that is an SUV not a wagon at all (i.e. no CX-9 Sedan can come out of that) , but I leave it there, off-topic

^The Mondeo was on the market before the Mazda6. I wonder if the same designer did both cars. Ford needs to market this car here as a 3 series competitor.

OK, got it, they have many similarities so, you are right, it may be the same designer (or designer team). Yes, if GM does well with the Astra and the G8, Ford should follow and start bringing some decent models.

My brother drives a 3rd gen Mondeo and yes, the evolution from the 1st gen (the Contour here) has been very smooth. If that has been brought to the 4th gen one, awesome. The Mondeo drive is much better than many of other Fords I have owned (I would change the wheels though )

By the way, also check how the hood needs a key to open (some pics attached), weird

the rims look odd because it breaks (my) golden rule of ride height/tire size... the wheel gap must be equal or less than the height of the sidewall

also, a chunky style rim like that warrants a bit taller sidewall

can we get this instead of the taurus x?

I love how the diagram that shows you need to swing the ford badge back... is behind the ford badge that you have to swing back. That's some instructional genius right there! lol

If you have the Ford badge upside down, is that the same as flying a flag upside down to denote emergency or distress?

Bwahaha, true, and wait until you take it to a non-dealer, non-Ford focused shop. My brother dropped it once for an oil change and got a call around mid-day: "dude, your hood cannot be opened, the hood release is gone"

Looks like the copied off the CX-9 to me.
