Rhiannon_phylissfiesta Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Having not actually passed my test yet, I wanted to learn more about Ford, as I have recently bought a MK3 Base model Fiesta and my boyfriend has two Escorts (: Plus his conversations really baffle me, so I want to learn more so I don't seem so silly and I have to say he is getting me into cars, even to the point where I am starting my first car project, only added stickers mind you :P When I brought my Fiesta I instantly fell in love, after all it's small and only cost £145, the only thing wrong with her is that there is a slight hole in the sill and has slight fade, but it is red and was sat for 2 years!

jeebowhite Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Welcome along, I am sure a few coats of T-CUT and you will have her eshining to former beauty :) At the price you paid for the car, it leaves you with a good amount to invest :) Hopefully you have given some thought though to your insurance! when you do get through your test, the forum has an arrangement with Adrian Flux insurers who offer a discount for forum members, so you may find it useful :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhiannon_phylissfiesta Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Bit of a late reply, but we just made her look all shiny and new again :) T-Cut didn't do the trick unfortunately, the fade was so bad :( So my boyfriend very happily brought a machine buffer and some strong compound and made it bright red and shiny again. The only issue is I have lack of money to do anything else aha, so all the other modifications, MOT and insurance may have to wait or be done very slowly :P Although I am having some alloys done at the moment, the colour of the car is going to be red and white.

TDCiST Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 White powder coated alloys look awesome on red fiestas ;) My mate has done this on his track prepped car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhiannon_phylissfiesta Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yeah I was just going to put a red trim on them, but then I thought of the idea of getting red flakes, I does look good :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
