Hey,

My name is Nick and i'm from Stockport, Manchester, England.

Currently driving a 1.25 MK7 Fiesta (3DR), in Frozen white. Got it completely standard about a year ago now, from Evans Halshaw in Ashton. Wasn't going to do anything to it as i was going to buy a Corsa VXR when im 20 in May. Decided against that idea though, so thought i'd do up the fiesta with little suttle mods to make it look nice.

Got the Car completely standard and in the last 1 month i have done the following;

17" BK RACING 299 ALLOY WHEELS

LOWERED FRONT AND REAR BY 30MM

FITTED 8000K HID XENON KIT

CUSTOM TAILORED TO FIT FLOOR MATS

DMB BADGE GEL OVERLAYS IN BLACK AND RED (INC STEERING WHEEL)

NURBURGRING DECAL

SHOCKER HAND DECAL

I LOVE/HATE SPEEDBUMPS DECAL

RE-WIRED MY AUX INPUT THROUGH MY GEARBOX UP TO DRIVERS SIDE WINDSCREEN

FITTED WHITE ICE LED SIDE LIGHTS

FITTED WHITE ICE H1 FULL BEAMS

AERIAL (!Removed!!)

DUST CAPS RED (!Removed!!)

RED/BLACK FIESTA TAX DISC HOLDER

CURRENTLY ORDERED FROM EBAY;

PUSH BUTTON START INTERGRATED/ILLUMINATED GEAR KNOB.

FIESTA 3DR WIND DEFLECTORS, NOT THE CRAP STICK ON ONES, THE ONES BUILT INTO THE WINDOW CANAL.

K&N AIR FILTER (RED)

STAINLESS STEEL PIPING TO BUILD OWN INTAKE

K&N OIL BREATHER (RED)

THINKING OF BUYING IN THE FUTURE;

WHITE SPORT RECLINING SEATS (UNSURE)

GETTING ROOF WRAPPED IN GLOSS BLACK (DEFFINATLY)

GETTING WINDOWS (JUST REAR & SCREEN) TINTED TO 40% (DEFFINATLY)

DON'T REALLY WANT A FULL SYSTEM ON IT, BUT MIGHT JUST GO FOR A SHY BACK BOX OR SOMETHING..

ANYWAY,

Thanks for looking, pictures to follow.

TBH its looks realy good. Could you take interer pics?

If you dont mind me asking, How old are you, and how much do u pay on Insurance?

Rebel

im 20, and im 21 in may. Ive got 2 years no claims, and I am insured with Swiftcover. Been driving for 3 years last november. Pay £72 a month.

Hope this helps.

Will take some pictures of interior later when im home, i'll re-do the thread and re organise it all and set it up as a proper project thread. Just really want peoples thoughts on it!

Nick

The !Removed! dust caps I got; (Pictures on alloys above)

Pushstart gear knob, awaiting delivery will post picture of fitted;

Tailor made floor mats - Fitted but will take picture later on and post;

Fiesta tax disc holder, from ebay to match the gel overlays, fitted, will take picture later and post;

Springs, before fitment obviously, pictures of car lowered 30mm in previous posts;

The wind deflectors, awaiting delivery, posted from Slovakia, so will have to wait up to 12 working days. I know it says 5 door, but they are for the 3 door. There not crappy stick on ones, they actually sit in the glass canal for full effect. I've not got these to look 'cool', mainly because my car doesnt have air con and it drinks fuel with the windows open, so this is a perfect alternative!

More progress pictures coming soon.

Got a picture with the HID kit fitted (8000k)

awesome car

Havign a style plus myself, id like to see you do ambiant lighting and wiring the push start button :)

Well i'll post a tutorial maybe :P Thanks for posts

Briggsy, worth getting yourself a HID kit, only £70 delivered off ebay and fitting it isnt too hard. There is room underneath the headlight to mount the ballasts too, its like the car was made for them.. Fitted in under 2 hours.

Great Tip, yeah i was considering it. and 70 is a good price! Wonder if they will look as good on my panther black.... Did you get the Zetec trim lights with the chrome inlay?

Badge overlays look tacky, HID's are illegal and the alloys don't suit the fiesta... and what were you thinking with the gearstick ??

I too am worried about that gear stick. It really does look tacky . And as the above person said, HID's are illegal. So why have them?

nice car m8,like the alloys,not sure about the gear stick tho......

are those eibach springs? could you please post some day-time photos of the car,really want to see how low the car is.....

Sorry mate. Don't like the alloys, the gearstick or the HIDs. Even though they're illegal and I would never get them for my car, HIDs can look good if they're a sensible colour temperature, but 8000k is just ridiculous.

Im wondering if you did all this on a Style because perhaps you are a young driver?...if thats the case then I would get rid of teh HIDS, as you will attract enbough attention being young, in a lowered car etc.

They can literally slap you with 6 points for those alone.

yea it look pretty hot on panther black tbh, i will take a pic nd post it if you would like?

Swearing is not allowed on FOC - even if you star it out.

I like it.

I'm not a fan of HID's in a car designed for them as they are a pain in the !Removed! when coming towards me at night. the gel overlay on steering wheel looks a little bit low btw.

Its nice apart from that though i would have taken side skirts and zetec s spoiler over any of those mods.

P.S. Nürburgring stickers on cars that obviously haven't been to the Nürburgring are extremely tacky.

love the gear stick

i think the gear stick will look good.... if the engine start button works.

Sorry mate. Don't like the alloys, the gearstick or the HIDs. Even though they're illegal and I would never get them for my car, HIDs can look good if they're a sensible colour temperature, but 8000k is just ridiculous.

i agree here about the lights , in the photo they look way too over powering , it might just be how the photo came out but ive got bluevisions in mine and i think they look great not too bright but look better than the standards plus there legal!

also i really dont understand what everyone likes about the red ford badges , they just dont look right? , in my oppinion car badges should be left well alone.
