Congrats on the car, Black Betty. I thought you were getting a Zetec, hence the long wait??
Regarding the paint issure, my Vision Zetec is the same. There's quite a few locations where it's obvious that they have been tight/cheap with the painting. Particularly when I lift the bonnet, there's many areas where the white undercoat hasn't been covered:
- on the area of the front fender usually covered by the bonnet
- the under side of the bonnet
- most of the engine bay
At first I was a bit annoyed. But when I considered the price of the car, the value for money and all the features, you realise that Ford had to try and cut costs in some areas.
Also, the fact that the back of the back seat is only painted black (i.e. not carpeted) really irks me. If there was an option to have this carpeted, I would have paid for it.
