E5GDM Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Very nice. I've had the V5 for nearly 2 weeks but still no sign of my white Zetec :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWhizzz Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That makes me feel better, l've been waiting nearly 3 months for my ZS, when l phone the dealer he keeps giving me a delivery date, but still no sign of the car yet, l don't think he really knows when the car will be in, not very good customer communication.

Bede. Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Just received the V5 documents for Black Zetec-S (Privacy Glass, Red seats) today and Ford text to say that the delivery week ending on the 13th (This week) Hopefully will have it soon! (taking into account no more of Ford's very common delays) Will keep you updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 How do you get a V5 before delivery and registration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bede. Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Not entirely sure. The car was stored in Dagenham and was supposed to be delivered last week however delivery got delayed because of the Easter Bank Holidays, The car was registered on the 4th April and received the V5 today through the post. Then Ford said Delivery week is the 13th of April. This is my first time buying a new car as I'm only 20. So I'm not exactly sure on how the whole process 'should' go.

GWhizzz Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 i've had my V5 for about a week for a (black ZS red seat/17"/city pack) dealer said it's stuck at Dagenham, delivery date was 6/4, but l reckon l have a couple of weeks yet, mind you at least it should be warmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmunkynutz Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 How do you get a V5 before delivery and registration? As an accountant I can explain this, if they can fiddle the car and register in 2012/13 tax year then it'll boost their figures at year end.

JayA Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Wondered if anyone has any ideas on where from/how to fix a red 'S' to the grille (similar to the ST style). Also what's the best way to improve protection of the rad etc from crud / stones; the honeycomb black grille does seem to have pretty wide gaps, wouldn't want to suffocate it tho! Wondered about a finer black plastic mesh behind the grille, if it's easy to remove/replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 inath (HERE) has a few vids on grill removal which are worth checking out. http://youtu.be/DQPXypmN1j4 I will be pulling my grill off in a few days and posting a few pictures so keep an eye on my post about the Zetec s front grill HERE :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a small belt sander and gently sanded away the space I needed then bought a couple of S logos off eBay for £2.95 each which just stick on. Looks good as well.

b1g_dav3 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Little stunned not to see Hot Megenta yet. Not going to lie, not really too good looking for some reason. Looks nice on prefacelift, on the facelift it's just not as nice really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5GDM Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 De-tangoed & half de-badged. Plus I've changed the interior lights (bar the map lights) to blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd_james Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 De-tangoed & half de-badged. Plus I've changed the interior lights (bar the map lights) to blue. What bulbs does it take from memory? I'd check my book but its at home! And are the map lights those directly above your head for driver? I have changed my footwell lights to red after red ambient s obviously. Not sure what colour to do the main reading bulbs maybe a clear white or red... Don't think red would look right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5GDM Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 And are the map lights those directly above your head for driver? Yes, I left them standard as the blue looks good (IMO), but aren't that bright if you want to actually see anything..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeZS19 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 aha bigmunkynutz to be honest i really like the red ones, then i saw a blue one from the front yesterday and thought it looked pretty good so im kind of torn now, what mpg are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmunkynutz Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Only getting about 39 mpg at the minute but its all town driving and short journeys. Had it at mid 40's last week with a few motorway miles. I too really like the blue, think it would pop more in the sun when polished and waxed!
