well, i was sick of seeing the fiesta in such a state so i took some time away from the project and started a new project to freshen up the run around. took some pictures along the way...

strip down




















painted some bits
















in the garage
























































all back together, opinions on the stripes please - you can be as blunt as you like




















































lots of pictures

That is awesome, simply awesome!
The fact you've done it all yourself make it even better!!!

Mind me asking, did you use 2 pack paint? If so, what kind of mask did you use?

[jos310581]

My God that s simply stunning.
That is by far one of the best looking fiesta's I have seen in a long time.
I cant even begin to imagine how much blood and sweat went in to that.

Congrats to you mate that is a job well done and them some.

To sum it up in two words ' Bloody amazing '

[LeePFRST]

Well done mate, amazing job. Are you keeping the bonnet black?

[lachojski2005]

that looks stupidly awesome.the bonnet breaks up the white and sets the car off.that is one AMAZING job.

[joec2]

that is amazing
like the white wheels and the stripes

[285Andy]

mate, that looks bloody handsome!!

[fiestamatt]

looks mint mate,

I especially like how the arches are blended in look almost like a professional did them.

Bonnet need to be white IMO.

Love it
Matt

[gumpy]

that is pure amazing work you must be chuffed. the black bonnet was totally unexpected and looks totally awesome

[demolition_man]

i'm made up you all like it so much the girlfriend said the stripes looked "weird" so i was unsure, but my dad and I both liked them, so i guess women really don't know about cars

seriously though, i would like to get some opinions about the stripes and the bonnet, the bonnet was a bit random as i bought it black and i thought - it might look good it might look better white, but basically i havent got the time to paint it right now so i left it.

thanks for the comments, i really am chuffed and yes it was a lot of work

[Turboboy67]

Good work,

Only one criticisum, why didn't you take the windscreen out for the re-spray ??

I like it when people choose the best colour for their cars

Cheers

[MattPym]

Nice very nice...Not sure what to make of the bonnet but it does look good either way!


Matt

[RS_Rawli]

daring, but congrats!

i do think the bonnet wouldbe better white with a blue fade going up the centre (a la RS1600i) style though

[demolition_man]

hmm, interesting you should say that, today i thought that a blue rs1600 style graphic would look good.... maybe i'll look into it.

i didn't take the windscreen out as it looked like i'd end up taking the dash etc out and in that case masking it up would save a number of hours so i just masked it, as i say, i was only trying to clean up the run around so i wasn't too bothered about having the blue paint under the rubber. i guess if i ever do have the glass out i will do it then.

i'm very pleased with the comments, thanks a lot

[demolition_man]

by the way, i uploaded the pictures too large so they are cutting the edges off, to view properly use the URL

[knuckles]

Absolutly stunning

Take note people - resprays his car White

[hb69]

that looks very cool mate. well done

[Brammer]

Hats off, i like that very very much it looks sooo smart, love the strips, black bonnet kind of works (white better) but its a proper crowd puller.

Its got that look that the magazines love, stick a zetec/zvh turbo in that then have a grudge with rawli's car, imagine the look of these two together

Well done

[thorny]

absolutely love it , fair play dude!! imo though white bonnet and mk4 rear wiper would finish it!

[bakewell001]

I REALLY like it!

My only one dislike is that black bonnet. I really like the stripes, but i dont think the bonnet goes with the rest of the car.

Other than that, very well done mate!

[mike_w]

amazing work mate, and ive gotta say i like the black bonnet on it, now ive seen other cars with black bonnets and the rest of cars white but seems to work on yours, the stripes i do like aswel, i think the bonnet wouldnt work if you had colour coded the the bracket plates on the wing mirrors, and the laguna/espace splitter helps aswel with bit more black , is different, i like

[joe boy]

fcuk me thats looks bloody amazing. i really like the stripes and the bonnet too. very different mate, well done

[demolition_man]

[FRSJON]

well everyone's beaten me to it....was going to make some comment on the colour.. ..but that looks the nuts....looks a lovely paint job...love the stipes...and...the black bonnet suits it perfectly.. top job...be proud...

[E4Fiesta]

I agree with everyone! Top job mate, looks pro! Where did u learn to spray and what equipment was you using?

IMHO i dont like the stripes, the blue is a bit random, but the black bonnet looks tough as! Absolutely stunning mate! Give yourself a pat on the back

[jayrs]

looks good mate, leave the strips, and the bonnet, hmm,. 50/50 on that but it does break it up a bit.

[Xr_Dub]

looks cool leave the bonnet black!!

i like the wheels white,splitters,stripes,bonnet black everthing works plus its looks so fresh with the paint....

aslo btw your arch and bumper aint alighned propely

[~nomad~]

leave the bonnet black and paint the roof and pillars black too. wicked.

[Ollybee]

Two things left to do. Fill out the log book and paint the bonnet white.

[xr2irhys]

great job , can you tell me what paint you have used here mate? to me it looks like cellulouse , because mine is done in that too , so i think i am right , do correct me though ,

and what ratio was you mixing paint to thinners

cars looking great

dont worry about the arch and bummper , you can always fibreglass and filler that up if it cannot be moved around a little

[jayrs]

celle is old skool, its prob 2k ike most stuff now days.
as for the gap, its just a case of lifting that side of the bumper up a bit

[chris-fiesta]

what a transformation.....it looks mint mate!!

id like to see a white bonnet on there tho

[mirrorman]

Stunning mate good work, reminds me of my old fiesta!!

[BC DEVILLE]

Thats sooooooooo nice

i reckon its one of the best looking on here

Very nice job. Love it!

[Capri]

Wow! I like that!
