Might be worth losing the rear tints perhaps? Looks far to chive in my opinion, but its up to you :)

Wheels should be colour coded to the car too ;)

Rear tints!? I thought they were standard lights :lol:

I think I want standard fronts as the angel light things have a s**t full beam!

Danny I'm getting some g60 steelies soon and those wheels are going so just using them out of necessity!

Mark, I've wanted one since my friend got a gti 5 years ago I do really like them!

Jony, yeah I agree but they were the only ones I had to hand! I've found adequate space for the fiesta but I'm really skint this month and I'm having to start selling parts off it :( feel like it may have to go soon :cry:

its currently got no interior and no bumpers etc - going to get the dash out next week i think. im cracking on - my mum said shes going to help me out with some money so i dont have to sell it, which is cool...

problem now being is that the polo is more demanding than i would have liked.

wont be scrapped at all, why would i scrap it when its a perfectly sound shell?

parts will be sold so i can start a fresh or just keep it as is/unsure yet as waiting on my mother coming through for once.

When you say it won't be as low with new coilies, you it will be lower right?? :D
Polo's look good but that exhaust looks w**k. I think your idea to get a standard looking one is a good idea :)

why not just get standard springs and dampers and standard back box?? Exactly what i would be doing if I had a project car to do. Then when the project is finished maybe do some to the polo?

Just an idea ;)

Why does it need new coilovers? Surely you can just raise these ones?

If you start spending out on this one (coilovers/wheels etc) then you're only going to find yourself selling the Fiesta. I would say at your age and income level etc its time to make a decision about which car to continue with. I can't afford to sort two cars yet and I'm 24!

You could always get a standard exhaust then replace the middle box with just straight through pipe?? Also my mate has some rear coilies spare i could ask him if he'll sell them if you're interested??

mike i must admit its a bit disappointed seeing you want to spend dolls on this when it was meant to be a runaround so you could do the fez haha! this is why i didnt get a runaround ;)

you definetely sure you cant get the rear coilies to budge? did you try my technique of a needle file and a s**t load of copper grease?

I bought this car because it was a bargain and is sound and I like it and my fiesta needed too much work to keep it on the road AS IS.




Look guysssss, I'm not look to spend all my money on this car, I want new wheels and when I can afford it (as perv stated) new coilovers.

I still have plans for the fiesta but I don't want it as it is now, so I'll be selling bits of it and starting a fresh.
