Thanks guys.
Exhaust isn't stock, its modified. Thats why the tips are different. Mine had the dumpers as well from factory.
The black piano trim in between front and rear doors is a PITA for swirls Warren77. The only thing you can do is polish it lightly and maybe apply a sealant with a slight filling effect such as Z5.
I try to wash as gently as possible on this area to minimise swirls and marks.
TXR, my simmons were custom made for the car, I had to wait several months for them. I love the look, but yes possibly I would have opted for one inch larger in diameter if given the choice again.
Its quite hard to picture the wheels when you don't get a chance to see them on the car. Also the 19" simmons, the centres go all the way to the edge of the hoop, the 18"s do not, this makes them look smaller than they are :(
At least insurance is happy, tyres are still cheaper, ride and handling remain unchanged.
Also I didnt want to have an "all out" car, just a neat, tidy mondeo
