What about "tunning"?
Aside from your spelling...I would be looking at a Focus RS engine transplant, or a full Fiesta ST engine swap probably, unless you want to look into something more fruity like a 4WD Cosworth setup.

With £7k to spend I would seriously look at selling up the Fiesta and getting yourself a Mitsubishi Evo or something. Focus ST170's can be had for that sort of money as well.

you could pick up a nice r33 gtr skyline for that sort of money and use the money from sale of fiesta to tune or style it a bit more, not that it needs it. And its a twin turbo, which mean you get your turbo and you wont get as much turbo lag as with a single turbo as two smaller turbos will get to work quicker than one large one.
or an older evo, maybe a 5, 6 or 7
or like heeman10 said, perhaps go for a 4wd conversion with a cossy engine in it, there was one in fast ford think it was last month and that was a s**t-hot motor.

Evo 7 for £7k. That's being a bit too hopefull an Evo 2 or 3 maybe a 4 perhaps. Still baxtered hard cars though and very capable. And the best bit they aren't a Subaru

It's on finance and you're looking at spending £7k on mods? That's all back-to-front, I guess it's 2007 though!

my advise which is getting to be more mature of recent as i have learnt loads of stuff about modding in the last year and abit is to not bother doing anything engine wise and to just do bodykit and wheels maybe sort out the interior and just leave everything else cuz all you'll get is hassle i would save the money and get something in a year like a turbo'd car that has been well looked after and just use it at the weekend and have a diesel van for during the week thats what i now have and its the best thing i have ever done relating to modding and stuff
dont hate the playa hate the game
