The same as the Facelift Fails thread.

Linky!

Instead of posting pictures of bad facelifts though, you can post pictures of good facelifts that updated the shape, improved the lines of a current car.

I will start:

2007 Ford Mondeo



which was nicely updated with this...

2011 Ford Mondeo



Over to you Pistonheads. smile

First post in, and you're wrong already tongue out

Pre facelift Mondeo looked far nicer, simpler, more elegant (especially from the back, where the facelift has overly fussy tail lights).

My nomination; bug eye



to blob eye



to hawk eye

I'm going to agree but to be honest, the 'blob eye' only looks good because the 'bug eye' was so awful! biggrin
'Hawk Eye' looks good though. (A mate has a Jap Spec-C in black and it has a good frontal stance)

The 106 looked good too.

I think the blob-eye front looks best of the 3, too.

I think 2011 Mondeo to 2013 Mondeo is a better facelift.

I don't think you've quite grasped the concept of a facelift.

It wasn't until the facelift version came out that I decided the pre facelift was actually god awful!! Plus the facelift bonnet never smacks right in the head everytime you look in the engine bay.
