Andy,

If your Tour says SPORT on the rear, you should have the following options...

Contour SE SPORT Group

Duratec 2.5L 170hp 24 Valve DOHC V6 Engine
15" 8 or 12 spoke aluminum wheels (most had the 8 spoke)
P205/60Rx15 all-season tires
Tachometer
Leather-wrapped Steering Wheel
Leather shift knob
SPORT Floor Mats
Rear Spoiler
Fog Lamps
Lower Bodyside Cladding (Rocker Panel Skirts)
Variable timed interval wipers
Illuminated passenger side visor mirror
Sport Badging
SPORT cloth reclining bucket seats

The emblems on your front fenders should also say SE, not 24V.

If any of these items are missing, I would look over your Window Sticker and find out if your car was equipped with the SE SPORT package or not. To install the rocker panel skirts requires drilling into the rocker panels and installing molding clips, so the skirts have something to hang from. The also bolt on underneath the rocker panels.

I have seen so many SE SPORT Tours with some of these items missing, and it isn't funny. The SPORT Package was a $1000 option on the car, and to get an incomplete package is wrong.

I have seen SPORT Tours with the SPORT badge on the rear and they are only equipped with the SE COMFORT Group option.

These options are...

10-way power driver's seat
Power Antenna
15" 8 spoke aluminum wheels
P205/60Rx15 all-season tires
Leather-wrapped Steering Wheel
Leather shift knob
Fog Lamps
Variable timed interval wipers
Illuminated passenger side visor mirror

This option group can be applied to a ZETEC Tour, and in now way can it keep up with a Duratec Tour.
I have seen Tours with this option and the dealer adds the SPORT Badge to the rear, and calls the car a SPORT. This is also wrong.

Check and see if you have all of these options.
