Boydo15 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'm looking to replace the silver air vent surrounds in my mk6 fiesta as they are quite scored. I'm tempted by gloss black ones but i can't find them. Is this something i would be better doing myself or is there somewhere i can buy them.

ONETrueSaturday Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Get yourself some wet/dry paper, primer, paint and lacquer and give it a try yourself mate ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydo15 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 is it easy enough to get them off? also any particular level of wet/dry grit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Another option http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIESTA-MK6-02-08-AIR-VENTS-SURROUNDS-RINGS-SET-NEW-/280800216996?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4160ff47a4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydo15 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yeah I spotted them. But I have my heart set on gloss black. I'm in the process of getting the door handles, mouldings and wing mirrors in gloss black and I kinda want the interior the same. Also looking a a nice set of 15" sierra cossie sharktoooth alloys!

William Crossey Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 the rings on your fiesta are moulded into the dash, the center ones can come off but you have to remove the dash as the whole part is screwed together from inside. basicly its only the facelift version and the newer (current) model that the vents are removable on.

ONETrueSaturday Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 And that won't break them? Yanking any car plastic interior piece could break it so always proceed with caution! Just make sure its not screwed in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
