A quick resto for me is a coat of polish :lol:

I've got a genuine rear Fiesta RS Turbo sticker if you're interest fella, £15 delivered.

Looks a good one judging by the rear valance, as in, its still there :lol:

You going Diamond White again or the more modern Frozen White ?

:D

Looking good. :D

Are you going to be fitting new door handles? Colour coded door handles don't tend to look good on Fiestas.

yeah i put strips back on mine in the end and it does look better.
fitting them isnt that bad though, its getting the sticky foam tape off that does my nut in.


as for the fit, you could restud the kit, but i would of recommended doing that before having it painted that way you can make minor ajustments to the body where needed, in most cases, holes in wings dont line up or dont allow for fine adjustment to get it fitting just right, so other than restudding it, bonding it on is the only way
