Thought I'd start my car diary 
Purchased August 2008.
It's a 2005 model ('54 plate) Black ST220, with 35k on the clock.
The modification list as it stands to date:
Modifications:
AP Racing Formula big brake kit:
This is a 4-piston front caliper kit http://www.apracing.com/info/index.asp?section=For...
Team Dynamic Pro-Race 1.2 18" wheels
KW Variant 1 stainless-steel coilover suspension
(height-adjustable and lowered 15mm)
http://www.kw-suspension.co.uk/variant-1.htm
Quaife ATB Limited-Slip differential
http://www.quaife.co.uk/Ford-Mondeo-ST220-ATB- diff...
Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential for Ford Mondeo ST220 is suitable for Ford Mondeo ST220 using the standard gearbox. A direct replacement for the standard Ford open differential, the Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential transforms your car's performance.
Unlike a conventional plate-style limited slip differential, the Ford Mondeo ST220 Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential relies on gears rather than clutch plates for its operation. That means it is much smoother in operation.
The Ford Mondeo ST220 Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential never locks harshly with a set pre-load of wheel slip across the driven axle, like a conventional LSD. Rather, the Ford Mondeo ST220 Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle, to a constantly varying degree, and never locks.
The Ford Mondeo ST220 Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential has many benefits over a standard open differential, including maximising traction and minimizing wheelspin, eliminating torque steer and snatching in front wheel drive cars compared to conventional LSD units, and a maintenance-free design which retains the standard oil lubrication.
The Ford Mondeo ST220 Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential is proven in circuit and drag racing, rallying and road use, and is produced from Corus steel billets, and is CAD designed and CNC machined, then inspected to ISO 9001 standards.
With over 170 applications, the Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential is second to none. Accept no imitations!
Quaife ATB Helical LSD differentials are used by Ford, General Motors and Daimler-Chrysler as original equipment.
The Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential for Ford Mondeo ST220 is also now subject to a lifetime warranty (subject to terms and conditions).

Well, not exactly a mod as such, but I needed one 
Pogodrive satnav:
http://www.pogogps.com/pogodrive.htm
Bought it because it's supposed to have the most accurate and up to date speed camera database on the market.
Oh, and it does satnav but thats a secondary concern
