LMAO i guess you mean fit rear disc brakes instead of drum ?

only the ST needs 4x disc brakes not the smaller engine models hence the reason you have the circle thing :P :P

Personally I wouldn't paint the rear drums (circle thing) as I think it looks a bit naff & drawing attention to the fact the fiesta drum brakes instead of discs on the back. Each to their own though :), and like the colour you want to paint them it's down to personally taste!

I believe a lad called Nathan on here added the rear St diffuser to his candy blue fiesta and added a an exhaust tip to the standard exhaust and it looked really good. I've currently got a candy blue zs the same as you and had considered doing it to mine.

Could always paint the drums black, and the front calipers a different colour?. Yeah it does look good with the St diffuser. Only reason I'm not doing mine is im getting an St next month ;)

It's best to use the heat resistant paint, or the paint that's designed for painting calipers. Just make sure the surface of the calipers and drums is clean and free of any surface rust.

Yeah I get what you're saying. I've had 3 zetecs now (mk6, 7 & 7.5) so fancied an St

I guess, I've just never had any issues with fords aha. I like other brands to though to be fair. Wire brush for any tougher rust or just use a Scotchbrite pad

Been thinking about slapping some paint on my front calipers. Definitely not painting my circle things, [aka rear brake drums] lol. I had red calipers on my Clio, but the red paint kinda got grubby after a while. Wondering what colour calipers would look good on frozen white?

Just go with some shiny silver front calipers and gloss black drums. They do look quite good and aren't to "in your face"
