Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics will mondeo body kit fit 98 contour

hey my name is dave and i have a 98 contour se. i was wondering if the mondeo body kits will fit a contour or will their have to be modifications? if any one can help im willing to listen/

If you have a good shop to do it they can probably custom fabricate it for you for a more amount of $$$$$$$. but i don't think you can just bolted on in. so if you get a good shop that know how to fabricate with your material you can do it but it will cost you extra money.

how about just the hood?

How about just the search

I believe that the side skirts will. The front one I can say no without modification. Example:





The Contour's front bumper sticks out a lot further then the Mondeo's front bumper. The shop would have to widen the kit, or you would have to buy a Mondeo crash bar. There is also a contour near the bottom of our fenders, the Mondeo is missing that dent, so your shop will have to add that in too.





The rear of the Contour has a dip in the bumper where the trunk meets the bumper, the Mondeo goes straight across. Also the Contour's exhaust always exits on the drivers side of the car, unless it is an SVT. If I remember correctly, the Mondeo exits on 'our' driver's side if it is a Zetec, passenger side if it is a Duratec, and both if it is a ST24 or ST200. Exhaust work will be necessary either way (yours will aim at the ground) so it will exit directly out of the back. If you get a Duratec's body kit, you would have to either modify the body kit to allow two pipes, or have your exhaust modified to now exit on the passenger side.

A lot of work, but I believe it could be done.

Or you could make it a lot easier and just go into the Group Buy forum and buy the parts necessary to get the SVT kit. It will go on your car with very minimal changes.

Hope this helped.

what is that second little pipe peeping out of the right most hole on that mondeo rear bumper, never noticed that before???

thanks for all the info on it guys, i found this websight called needforspeed.co.uk, they have all the stuff for the mondeo they even have these projection headlights that i've never seen on any contour hear in the states, its a pretty cool websight. some of you should go try it out.

Hehe, I think most of us know about NeedForSpeed's website... Unfortunately, body parts designed for the Mondeo do not cross over to the Contour. They have all been tried before.

Have a look at the forum's search feature if you wonder what has been tried before. Some people are pretty creative here!

I love the look let me know if it can be done. I like the hood to, but couldn't find a price for it.

I noticed that right after I posted those pics. Maybe I should post it to fordmondeo.org and ask them?

BTW, Plastique you have a PM.
