Looks much better with the normal front lights and the black strip on the back.

[Hotstrat2k]

Harry

[callum1989]

u selling any spares off the morettes? cheers chap

[Hotstrat2k]

sorry already sold em mate

Harry

[Hotstrat2k]

updated again more pics!

Harry

[Hotstrat2k]

what do people think what should i do next?

Harry

[gumpy]

looks great dude i think you should ditch the bad boy and just smooth the recess and get some arches just my 2p worth

[AdamB]

how you finding the seats then?

[Capri]

I think you did a good thing in getting rid of all the black lights. The car looks 10x nicer without them. Although, I personally think it could be improved with a standard RST bonnet.

[Hotstrat2k]

i light the bad boy bonnet as i think it takes away the plain mrk 3 lights
imo

seat are very comfy
had to get em modified by an engineer to fit my floor pan but look great
spesh with my blue zs steering wheel to match

Harry

[Hotstrat2k]

oh and the smoked rear and front indicators are for sale
and some mrk 3 smoked ones and an xr2i steering wheel lol
but enough about that

anyone got any tips for when i do the dash convo?
exept dont do it cos i already bought everything and am defo gonna do it

Harry

[jayrs]

you need to get them alloys sorted and on there mate.

agree with capri, better now the black lights have gone, not a fan of badboys myself, but thats just me

looking good anyway mate

[Hotstrat2k]

gonna put the zs bumper on like this just need to extend the skirt to fit the bumper like below

i do hate to say this but that looks toss with that bumper mate, lights dont line up along the front, wheel arches dont marry up, only way IMO it could look good is to cut it about to fit rather than alter the car/arches to fit the bumper.

sorry mate, just MHO

if it was made to fit the car it would look ok i reckon

[Hotstrat2k]

yeah going to complete change it to fit
will get picks up doing it this month

Harry

[jayrs]

nice one mate.

didnt mean to pis$ on ya fire, was just saying my thoughts

[Hotstrat2k]

its ok lol well see what it looks like

also once the zs bumper is on i will fill the gap with a mrk 6 grill i picked up today like this one



cheers

HArry

[jayrs]

it would look better with a bumper like this one

[Hotstrat2k]

what is that called? 12 bore one?

[jayrs]

yeah mate it is.

[Hotstrat2k]

update:
got white dilas all mrk 5 dash parts and loom boutght and in progress

cheers

HArry

sorry, but that just looks rubbish. ZetecS front bumpers are just...well...wrong on a mk3.

[fiestasiphil]

harry bonnet looks the nuts mate!!! top job!!

[Hotstrat2k]

cheers mate

wait till i get the zs bumper and grill on then you can all give your views
watch this space...

cheers for the comments

Harry

[fiestasiphil]

cool! future plans sounds good.....what about some alloys?

[Hotstrat2k]

going on this weekend

cheers

Harry

[Oranoco]

Not a dig at all just genuinely interested. All the Mk5 bits you've put on why not just buy a mk5 to start with?

Good work though if you're happy with it

[Jur]

I see you borrowed some pics from my gallery.

I testfitted the standard mk5 zetec-s bumper on my 'standard' mk3 fiesta.. to see if it would match up.

It didn't !!!!
It didn't look right from different angles.
- It was to much curved to fit the near straight front of the mk3
- Gaps @ the headlights
- sticking out FAR to much @ the front (due to curving)
- didn't meet up @ arches with skirts

the only thing that did match was the fixing threads of the bumper were at the same position as where the holes of the mk3 front are.. but.. due to the curve of the bumper.. the threads were about 4" to short!! ..

I'd either had to change the front .. or the bumper.. extensivly to make it fit..
Then a MCR splitter came on my way .. and it suits the car so much more!!!
Leave the mk5 zetec-S front for the mk4 or mk5 fiesta's .. as they suite those cars beautifully.. (same goes for the 12 bore)

The 12 bore bumper has a very wrong name.. as it refers to the MESH and not to the bumper!!! (see MCR site)
It's an FS bumper (Focus Style) with 12 bore mesh (holes of 12mm)

[Ollybee]

sorry, but that just looks rubbish. ZetecS front bumpers are just...well...wrong on a mk3.

Fully agreed, that looks terrible.

[dave_p]

i also agree what was i thinking, wish i stuck to bumpers that fitted

[Hotstrat2k]

hello all i know you doubted me but i have finished it now and it has all been fitted and tbh thought you would be right but i think i have pulled it off ill put pics up tomorrow hopefuly
filled the gaps by makinga new black strip where i work filed the gap in the middle with the mrk 6 grill as planned and had the bumper trilmmed to the curve of the arches and extended the bolts and it bolted to the side to pull it in got zs spoiler on and side skirts and aolloys pretty much finished now think it looks really good

cheers for your views

Harry
