Re: My fiesta
Looks so much better mate! Colour will be fine, once the car has had a good view layers of polish it should match fine... it's what you get for having fresh paint
Once the drivers mirror is done and rear bumper is done, it's going to look perfect

You might want to look into longer studs - I wouldn't want the nuts to fall off!

Re: My fiesta
f**k dont say that lol, they shouldnt since there on tight theres like 1 tread o the nut thats not used by the bolt,nothing to extreme
anyway i wouldnt got hat for for a pair of spacers, i could just put them on the front the bolts there have loads of thread outside the bolt, but im not sure if there are any benefits of putting them on the front, is there?
mind they would loook better on the fron as the front wheels are further in the arch's

Once the alloys are on you shouldn't need spacers - mine are fine at the moment (6.5J x 15)

Re: My fiesta
yea they'll be fine, but its my bday on the 3rd and i dont know what to get for it, choices are (and i hope i dont sound spoiled in anyway) a 3" sportex backbox, tyres for my alloys come to about £50 but id still need to refurb them, or lowering springs, my mother admits she aint got much to give me for my 19th so the exhaust is looking slim now but thats the one i want the most, what you think i should get??

Re: My fiesta
Mate I'd personally say tyres, atleast the alloys could then be put on even if you do need to refurb them, you already have an exhaust and lowering will probably be more expensive

Re: My fiesta
same as the ones ive found on the bay £72 posted, exhaust will come to 110 posted and tyres aout 50 fitted, i dont know, the way i see it is if i use this gift to get me the most expensive one, the others will be easier to get than say if i got the tyres now, and the exhaust is the most expensive, plus ive been really wanting a sports box for a while now, never had one on any of my cars, but ive had myalloys on before and ive had lowered and they aint as big as a deal to me compared to an exhaust :/
