It totally transformed the interior. I can't see this on the Ford configurator as an option. The car also climate control, so maybe it was an accidental "special". Well, whoever accidentally got this done at Ford needs a promotion.

Well, whoever accidentally got this done at Ford needs a promotion. Was it a current model Mondeo?  I have seen red leather in the previous model, but not the current model.  I think climate is standard in the Zetec.  Only the NFG basic Edge has on/off air con. _________________ "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble."

One of them was green on the outside ffs. What sorted of warped mind specs green with red leather?! The back button gets very rapidly clicked, I can tell ya!

For many on hear the choice of another alloy apart from the Y-spoke (snowflake) would be a plus.

I like green with red leather.       It is a classic combination, often seen on old Bentleys, Alvis and the like. _________________ "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble."

Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 9:59 pm    Post subject: Sometimes there are different colour/trim combinations here then there are in the UK. I remember seeing an Alfa 159 in a dark metallic brown just after it was released and finding out that it wasn't available in the UK. I haven't seen any like it since. It was a cracking looking car too. _________________ http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm...ds.individual&VideoID=2869045 Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Motor Forum Forum Index -> Test Driven All times are GMT + 1 Hour Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum The Motor----------------Welcome to the MotorGeneralOn the RoadNew Cars and ConceptsYour CarsTest DrivenClassic CarsForum DiaryClassic Cars: Potted History Guides Motor World----------------In the MagsClassified InformationRacing PostsShow TimeBikesTrack DaysWay Back When Pit Stop----------------GamesPhotographyThe LoungeMummy and Daddy CornerAuto-JournalsTop Five or PollThe Best of the Motor  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
