Morette of France makes them. They'll fit any MKII Mondeo but not the Contour. It has been attempted, but no go. Morette has no interest in making them for Contours either - I've asked them myself.

Thats not a body kit its just what a stock mondeo looks like. But i admit it is much better than the regular contour bumpers.

I still don't get how come they can't be modified to fit.

i have seen both car up close. i really think the sheet metal is the same. how much sense would it make for ford to desgn two separate headlight assemblies and sheetmetal for a car that would soon be discontinued?

The Mondeo has a short (stubby) bumper which doesn't stick out from the car. The Contour has a big gargantuan bumper that sticks out really far. If you find a photo of each, from the side, you'll see the difference. Or do what I did and import an ST200 bodykit, find out it doesn't fit and then try to get Ford to take the parts back.
Either that or just trust me - it doesn't fit.
