NEWBIE...

Hi there, just a quick one for my first posting.

Had my first Ford since March, it's a 2004 Fiesta in Flare Orange and it's a great little car. It's standard, but I try to look after it well - I'm not interested in modifying the car but I spend a lot of time making sure it's one of the cleanest Fiestas around :)

Are there any other Orange Fiestas here on the forum?

Hi and welcome to the club mate.

Hi and welcome to the club, cars looking in very good condition.

What engine size is your fiesta? Also what size are your wheels?

[Ross08]

It's a 1.25 petrol Finesse on 16" wheels. I'm only the second owner and it's been extremely well looked after. For my first car, I'm very pleased with it.

I love the Flare Orange (in fact, it's the colour that made me buy the car) but it looks different in every photograph I've ever taken. I think the Orange is one of those colours that looks really good when it's clean, but you have to keep on top of it.

I guess the 16" wheels werent standard? How much did it cost you to buy the wheels and tyres etc for it?

[Ross08]

The wheels were on the car when I bought it, but I would think they were an optional extra. I'm pretty sure they've been on the car from new.

I've seen less than 10 other Flare Orange Fiestas on the road since I've had mine, and they have all been - with the exception of one - the Zetec. Mine is rather unusual in that it's a Finesse. In turn, it's unusual for a Finesse to have alloys and a spoiler. <_<

I have two off those wheels i need to get rid off, both with no kerb marks and tyres which have done 300 miles!!! bloomin potholes caught out the other two! but the council eventually coughed up the cash
