Picked her up yesterday afternoon, 30,020 miles on the clock
Went out specifically to get some photos to find my camera batteries were dead! Drat. So, iPhone pictures it is (if you can make the car out!! )
March 12th 2011
Some better photos:
March 19th 2011
Got myself another centre cap from Ford last week, not put it on yet, going to investigate the silicone anti-theft measure.
Onto stickers!
Pretty much a spot on colour match too. From a local vinyl shop
April 13th 2011
Tiny update, got my grille mounted ST badge through today - should be there as standard IMO!
Also got some jewellers rouge powder to try and polish out the graze in my rear window.
April 17th 2011
Just a couple of pics.
First of all, had my dashboard mounted phone holder installed with thanks to a friend (didn't want to start mucking about with the dashboard myself in this one!)
He also sorted me out with the Mondeo premium speaker upgrade - a direct fit for the Fiesta and the speakers incorporate proper tweeters and a plastic cone rather than the double-paper cone affair:
and fitted the factory Ford auxillary socket:
I took a number of pics of it, however, most were playing with the settings and I don't want to bore you with loads of photos of the same angle
April 20th 2011
Yep it does, and here's an update that will make you proud
A bit of baby oil and a scouring pad later and...
Also got the decal through and fitted
And an overall shot of the rear
May 29th 2011
Got some pre-lowered clean pics the other night
June 1st 2011
As you may have known a roof tile fell off the house and smacked my spoiler and rear window (while I was working in the boot!!). Finally got round to getting it sorted, got a mobile bodywork mate round, who sanded and resprayed the area, absolutely spotless now, can't tell where the chip was (well, apart from the fact it used to be lined up with the scuff on the rear window (visible in second pic)
Oh, and these turned up today, ready for birthday mechanics on Friday
June 3rd 2011
Better pics to come, however, a taster.
A few more photos in better resolution... I'm uploading photos from a photoshoot I had this afternoon with a couple of mates
Some more photos, laptop takes ages to upload!

Re: Nick's ST
Lovely mate, will be a perfect hack for you. Don't mod it externally though, no debadge, no detango bla bla bla.
Suspension, exahust and panel filter at the most.
Keep in clean and serviced regularly!
Looking forward to see it in real life! I need to un-mothball the RS so I can start comming to the Bluewater meets again.
SAFE.

Re: Nick's ST
Cheers Fil,
No external mods are going to be done, outside will be staying like this and being well maintained. Internally, my Parrot bluetooth unit or similar will be installed, and somewhere along the line the only things I have planned is the K&N57i filter, Milltek flexi-pipe, and perhaps the Eibach suspension, however I like how it rides and handles as standard!

Re: Nick's ST
Nice one Nick, looks lovely
So is this going around Combe in June time then ?
all I would do to it externally is a set of Eibach springs and perhaps an exhaust (both which can be swapped back if needed)

Re: Nick's ST
Looks quality, I can highly recomend the eibach springs, flexi & air filter.
Those two tiny mods to the engine really transform the way it revs.
Just one thing (this is just a personel thing) i hate the facelift lights, if it were mine i would put the pre face lift jobies on there, other wise leave well alone.

Re: Nick's ST
Very nice mate! I agree with filtra, just get a filter and exhaust for it then lower it. I've got a feeling you won't be pulling a 12 sec 0-60 at ford fair this year

I have a plan for that Clark, don't worry
Cheers for the comments guys. Such a nice car to drive compared to the 1.2. Makes a massive change being able to keep motorway speeds going up hills!
Bodywork wise, there's the tiniest of tiny car park dings, but you really can't see that unless you're at a really dodgy angle, and two small dents on the top of the bootlid. At some point I'll probably get the PDR people to get rid of those for me, but its not noticable, other than that its spotless

Sexual.
I noticed the wheel cap as well, was it nicked?
Its true about the thirst of these cars mine is not that great either no matter how its driven. My freind has a st170 as well which is the same.
If you want to up the power and you have the cash the mountune 185 kit is meant to be very good, manufacture approved as well.

Re: Nick's ST
Nah it wasn't nicked, was driving on some roads to get these photos and it fell off I think! Was definitely there when I left haha.
Cheers guys, I'm just getting used to it so far, mods some time in the future.
