Mondeo bumper - gaffer tape
Discussion
thin plastic bumpers driven by people who don't care what their car looks like and with no cash, because lets be honest, it you cared what your car looked like and you had some cash you wouldn't buy a mondeo of that vintage!!!
Sierra's were foam filled and a bit more solid so they didn't crack as easily!!
They were also rear wheel drive
In fact, FORD, Scrap the mondeo and bring back the sierra!!!!

Bwahahahaaaaa! 
This is strange - I was actually going to post up a thread last weekend about this strange phenomenon - and there's an actual website about it. The Internet is a strange and wonderful place.
I once met a bloke who had a website devoted to "motorway steps" - those strange steps that don't go anywhere

Or just wanted something practical and have better things to spend it on?I have a '98 Mondeo and I don't care one bit what it looks like. It's dull but capable transport, bought it for carrying loads of stuff, mostly for towing bikes to trackdays. I'd rather buy another trackday and run round with a taped up bumper!
PS Hello Orb, see what you've done, got me on here now!

I may add mine doesn't have gaffer taped bumpers but given that 3 separate people have managed to drive into it at various times while parked its just a matter of time before the rear bumper cracks enough to need it.
On the plus side I don't worry when parking it in public car parks that someone will open a door on it, crash into it and drive off etc (mostly because its already happened).
I figure having recently looked at prices on them I've probably only lost £4-500 over 4 years/60k and I'd still get about 4-500 for it (or ~£200 for scrap). Hard to tell as its top spec but 160k and all the cars for sale were lower miles and mostly poverty spec.
Now, have a picture of a V8 in a Mondeo

I smashed mine running over Bambi one night,got a new bumper from the scrapper, car was red scrapper bumper was blue
Kept seeing another one running around which was blue with a red bumper.
Wasnt a bad car compared to some ive owned, had 320k on the clock with full history but paint was completely shot,very odd PO had spent loads on mechanicals but nothing on the paint/bodywork

Am I the only person to Google for motorway steps only to be disappointed when it turned out to be no longer available?
