my 2.0 si...reversed into :(

Postby fiestasiphil on Tue Feb 21, 2006 10:34 am

[url]howdy :) ! i just signed up 2 your site, just thought i send up sum pic of my fiesta si 1.6 16v which has gone through a lot in the year and half i have owned it, what u think?



Image[url]

Image[/url]

Image[url]

i had the xr2i skirts and arches fitted 2 weeks before this happened.......

Image[url]

i lost control at 60mph when raining down a country lane with knackered front suspesnion wishbones, was a write off if i had gone through insurance, so i decided to work proper hard and get my pride and joy back on the road as i had just spent a good £600 2 weeks before on it to make it a minter so i think it was worth £1300 worth of repairs as i has low mileage and no rust and i bought it for 2k!!

Image[/url]


when being repaired a cheap badboy bonnet came up and i thought yeah buy it, has a scooby vent cut it as well

got the car back

Image[url]

Image[/url]

then bought a pi rear spolier for it

Image[url]

Image[/url]

and here is just a few more pics of it

Image[url]

Image[/url]

Image[url]

oh yeah and since these pics it has tinted rear windows and a load of chrome under the bonnet [/url]

i quite like it really. the only thing that is bugging me are the massive array of air horns, are there any need for them??? they just seem to say "chive" to me :rolleyes: other than that, a very nice car you got there mate.

Looks good mate number plates look sweet on it.

Got to say tho to get rid of those horny little devils, don’t really do the rest of your car justice!!

And maybe colour code the wing mirrors mate. Looks sweet as mate a very good example of a sweet Si!!

Good luck with the 2.1 lump should be loads of fun along the way to fitting that!!!

Spoiler and bonnet suit it down to the ground and it is the best colour to have in Si in IMHO!!!

Nice and keep it up!!!!

Each to their own, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Also, your MOT tester must turn a blind eye, musical horns are illegal, has to be one continuous note.

On a lighter note, I do like the car a lot other than that.

Cant agree with them about the bonnet tbh, them vents dont suit anything apart from a scooby. The rest looks pretty smart though :D

I really like this car, despit it having many things i usually don't eg, clear rears, DTM mirrors, and i never would thought a fiesta could pull of a bonnet scoop :o

All works together though and looks spot on.

Totally agree, its different but it works, i think the colour might have somthing to do with it :-? , imagine it in a bright red or somthing and it might look odd
