If - on a trip to scrapyards - I found a fiesta LX, with the big bumpers, would I be able to fit them to my standar mark 3, without changing the paintwork bit below the standard bumpers? (the skirting paintwork bits on front and back)
http://www.alan.picton.btinternet.co.uk will show you what I mean.

Right, I recommend you do everything at once. I mean, wheels, bront and back bumpers, skirts and arches, suspension, exhaust, and interior. As a guide, here's how much I reckon it would (roughly) cost to make the car look like a sporty but fairly conservative Fiesta (all prices are estimated by myself and will be, in all cases, completely inaccurate):-

• £160.00 Cosworth style front bumper without light pockets
• £100.00 Si style rear bumper
• £50.00 Si style small mirrors
• £100.00 tint rear lights, clear front and side indicators, XR2i steering wheel, misc other interior trims to improve looks
• £60.00 RS2000 side skirts
• £200.00 spraying for the above
• £300.00 upwards - set of alloy wheels
• £100.00 set of lowering springs - 30mm drop
• £120.00 Powerflow custom stainless steel back box with tailpipe of your choice
• £100.00 set of custom seat covers

Total: £1,290.00 - !!!

bet it took you ages to add that up

[Chilliedog]

heh heh - thanks, but atm my fund add up to around £100

what about tyres

blimey that list sounded like my purchasing list from the last 12 months, didnt realise how much id spent

[Chilliedog]

I've asked about tyres, but no answers me!
will 175/60 R13s fit? they are off a nissan, dunno if the offset will be right

[chumkila]

Put em on and see what happens!

Check how it feels to drive or get someone in the know to give em the once over.

[Chilliedog]

Wont that mean i gotta get 'em balanced? - bit of a waste of money if they aint gonna fit.

[Jamie]

Don't give up whatever you do... Your fiesta is still better than mine was to start with - diamond white with pink trim, no glovebox cover, no clock, enough room to get *two* fits under the arches.. oh and a 1.0 engine... that's 997cc to you and me

Not saying it's done yet, but cossie'd and Si'd...

Good luck, and if you need bits... please please please look at my list for sale - i need a bigger engine!!!!!!

[ilovebristols]

AHHHHw hy does everyone have cozzie front and si resr bumpers! its becoming boring! srry invate dont immitate!

[EVO]

Simple answer really....cause it looks good.
Besides ive only ever seen one other cossie bumpered apart from mine around here

[ilovebristols]

nah u didnt go to FITP then every other fezzy had one! and it looked off!

[Phil Si]

i think it looks wickid....
true that at shows there is alot of em, but in normal day driving there isnt many at all

[Zimbodave]

OK, the pics above ^^^, what sort of front bumper is that. I want 1.

[Rob1.6s]

That there is the Si bumper, very nice!

Cheerz Rob

[marcsfiesta]

i would give u £40 for the si rear bumper

[phonicgenius]

If you can't get original bumpers, try the ones I'm going to get - from Autofashion, or whatever they're called - the ones who make the Animal kit... Custom Autofashion???

They've developed really good replica ones, and for £200 all inclusive, you get front & rear bumpers, fog lights, and the pods they sit in, and the price includes P&P!!!

i shouldn't have bothered spending £110 on XR2i sideskirts and arches - i've changed my mind now!!!

i want a low, smooth, Si bumpered, Cordoba splittered, ICE'd, 5-door Strato Silver fezzy mk3.

i was going to get cossie front, and smooth out an XR2i rear, with the arches & sideskirts, but the garage complained about the quality of my GRP arches/sideskirts.


any ideas???

[Tom SX]

£200 spraying for the above, you really are making figures up, i wish i could get a quote like that for a 3/4 respray in black!

[Tom SX]

and phonic, y not just get ones from a scrappy like i'm gonna, there cheap ORIGINAL FORD PARTs so they fit not like this autofashion junk, and made of plastic so they will take some hits and bends!

[icecool]

My new bumpers are going on the car in just over a weeks time, will post some pictures on the site for you all to drool at if someone tells me how to post them.

[Chilliedog]

lol - I'd forgotten I put this post up
my bumers and wheels are still standard btw

[phonicgenius]

i would go to the scrappy to get some, but noone seems to have any, damn it!

i've tried loads of my local spares places, but people seem to prefer stacking non-Si fezzies!

i've just read a warning about Autofashion on another post...??? Are they bad? I don't want to be messed around!


any help, guys???

[icecool]

Yes Autofashion are that bad, but some people seem to have had some luck with them.
Fibresports are definitely worth a call.
