Will that exhaust shine up at all ???

[hb69]

Burman, can you bring the White pen to Combe?

[dontpannic]

I'm sure I can.

[hb69]

Excellent

[bakewell001]

Bit concerned as to why you want the pen, because you won't have a car of your own there!

As mentioned the other day, clio rear wiper



Cheap on ebay etc

[niracka]

Nice little mod that. I'v got the 206 wiper on my focus. Looks alot neater than the ford ones.

Tiny update, got my grille mounted ST badge through today - should be there as standard IMO!




Also got some jewellers rouge powder to try and polish out the graze in my rear window.

[bakewell001]

Nice, but it's bound to get stolen

[dontpannic]

Luckily this isn't self adhesive

[niracka]

Got them on the mondeo mate. Good little mod. And I agree they should be standard.

Luckily this isn't self adhesive

Neither are the centre caps, bumpers, or kit but they still manage to go walkies!

[Ratspeed]

people steal the kits?!

[dontpannic]

In parts of deepest darkest essex there was a small spate of it, luckily mine's parked off the road and shortly will be behind gates

[Ratspeed]

So are they just really easy and quick to remove then or do people come ready tooled up at night and take teir time?

[EUFez]

Looking good Nick. Lovely car! Looks so clean...

I always thought the front ST badge would good better on the upper grille, not the lower grille. But otherwise, looks great!

[Dave G fsi]

I have always thought ford should have fitted a badge there, nice one mate

[jonyb4]

i prefer it in the upper grill

looks good there though


you know i love this car nick
theres that number plate again

[Smo]

I think you should sod the ST badges and put Popular Plus decals on the back

[MK2 Jamie]

I think you should sod the ST badges and put Popular Plus decals on the back

I agree with Simon

[niracka]

me too

[black2]

Looks good.

Your car looked stunning on the stand last week. I should I have taken my ST as well.

Are you still enjoying the car? and whats your mpg? Best we have had to a tank on ours is 300miles.

Gareth.

[dontpannic]

Cheers Gareth, still enjoying every minute of it - getting up some speed is effortless in the ST whereas with the MK5 driving on the motorway was a slow, loud effort.

Best MPG I had was the Combe weekend - averaged 42mpg with the air-con on, used 3/4 of a tank to get there on the Friday and back on the Saturday. Around town I'm looking at 32-33mpg though!

I'll confess guys, the Popular Plus badges aren't going on, however I have just come across the "Sporting Trophy" decals that go around the ST badge, that I think look quite smart:
(not my car)

As of today too, I have the Premium speaker upgrades - the original speakers are 20W cloth cone ones, however the upgrades are standard fit 25W plastic cone with seperate tweeter-

which sound a hundred times clearer than the standards.

[niracka]

Another thing I can't understand why ford dont just have as standard on the top models. Its not like it would cost them much more

[jayrs]

i like that decal

[dontpannic]

Just a couple of pics.

First of all, had my dashboard mounted phone holder installed with thanks to a friend (didn't want to start mucking about with the dashboard myself in this one!)



He also sorted me out with the Mondeo premium speaker upgrade - a direct fit for the Fiesta and the speakers incorporate proper tweeters and a plastic cone rather than the double-paper cone affair:


and fitted the factory Ford auxillary socket:


I took a number of pics of it, however, most were playing with the settings and I don't want to bore you with loads of photos of the same angle

[jonyb4]

looking great nick, that aux in is bit of a design fault, much will get in there and clog is

whats the score with the centre caps man?

[dontpannic]

Cheers

In actual fact the aux socket is actually not bad, having looked on the stoc and the other St club there have been no reported faults with the aux socket, you've gotta be really unlucky to get anything stuck in there.

Centre caps - simples, they fall off or are stolen. I lost one on the way back from Combe so they are safely locked in the boot where they won't fall out or be stolen.

[jonyb4]

lol but thats not good as they aint being seen

can you not secure them on somehow? id bloody glue them on, baxtered nicking them

[dontpannic]

It doesn't bother me that much. If I was to glue them on, what would I do when I need to change the wheel? Prise them off, which is exactly what thieves do to ge the centre caps in the first place, I'd rather not run the risk

[~nomad~]

lol at the aux socket filling with crap.

love this car Nick, and good to see a brodit in there, its the only choice imho.

[niracka]

Does that have a chrome exhaust tip??

If so get it cleaned. One of my pet hates seing them just left to go dull n dirty.

[hb69]

The aux socket on my zs was always filling up with stuff. Found a penny In there once.
