My Fiesta So far with pics
Well here goes hope you all enjoy
I got my first fiesta its a 1.1 3dr .
My first mod was the 6x9 in the parcel shelf along with the wheel trims if they are counted as a mod
Next I got hold of a rear spoiler and fitted it.
Next I got hold of some ford rs spoilers
I Then primed and painted the spoilers in fords radiant red spray
Slotted them onto car
Decided to paint all bumpers red and leave the black strip. So wiped the bumpers off
All bumpers painted slapped em back on
More pictures of car, also you might see a custom grill
Latest addition, some new wheels for her to role on, bought of a fellow ft user.
Just a few more pics taken tonight
Well that is it so far, Done it very quickly and breifly so if i have missed anything i appoligise in advance.
Comment away!!! please

Thats no excuse. You need to re-pave your driveway and lower the car It looks good, but will look 100x better when lowered.

Re: My Fiesta So far with pics
Lol I would redo my drive if i could
Can i just lower the back, or will it put it off balance or effect the car in another way. Also are the springs wider? Just at moment it is very close to spring and shocker.
Also thanks for the comments

You could just lower the back but to be honest it would look silly. Mines very low down and I don't have any problems with anyones drives, or speed humps.
Aftermarket springs are the same width, otherwise they wouldn't fit in the shock absorber.
They're not that expensive as well to be fair!
Skirts and arches? A big thumbs up from me, however lowering first

Re: My Fiesta So far with pics
Looking good - I've got the skirts that you need to go with the kit - brand new with fitting kit PM if your interested.
Lower it, fit a MK5 red and black Zetec S interior, and some Ford RS Accessory wheels and I reckon it will look even smarter. MK5 aerial, wiper arm and colour coded mirrors would be a great addition for little outlay.

Re: My Fiesta So far with pics
Get it lowered mate! When I lowered my fez I couldn't get it off the drive because its got quite a big slope on it so I hacked some concrete away to make a channel for the exhaust, jobs a good'un!!

Re: My Fiesta So far with pics
Looks awesome with the bumpers painted and the black strip.
I wouldn't put XR/RS arches on it as they will stick out and not meet up with the bumpers.
But I would defiantly put the RS Accessory side skirts on, also the upper and lower rear spoiler.

Thanks, Managed to sort the scrubbing out was a matter of fastening the plastic in the wheel arch back.
Thinking of colour coding everything inside e.g vent surrounds and centre console, any thoughts or pictures?

Both
I don't agree with colour coding interior parts - always looks tacky and chavvy I'm afraid.
