Hi,

I made a previous forum post about the modifications i added to my car, as ive been unable to add to this list i have decided to rewrite it.

I bought my Ecoboost as an ex Tester with 13 miles on the clock from Dagenham Ford. It came in a discontinued Colour 'Nautical Blue', and to be honest ive seen only 1 or 2, 3 door versions of this car around with the same kit, so like to think of my car as limited edition, or a bit of a 'one off'.

  • Here's the car on the day i collected it:

  • As my family and I run a Tyre centre I've had a wide selection of resources at my disposal. I firstly updated my alloys, from the standard 15" (195-50-15) to a set of 17" (205-40-17) Calibre Friction Rims, with a blue inlay to match the car. To note, ive been running my car on Yokohama S-Drives for the last 19,000 miles... the rear ones have 7mm left and the front ones 5-6... bare in mind how hard i drive. So pretty damn good tyres. If you ever want a price on tyres exhausts, wheel alignment, mot's or anything else take a look at the bottom of the post for the address and number ill sort a discount for any ford members ;)

  • I decided to upgrade cars performance, whilst maintaining my warranty With a BLUEFIN SUPERCHIP Remap, upping the car from 100-140bhp. I notices a ridiculous difference in power and torque, and a MPG, even though the car was pretty hot on the MPG anyway! I found at 60mph on the motorway i could push 50mpg, which it pretty astounding. I was quoted £399.00 from Hill's Ford Kidderminster. Well Worth it. At this point i was miles ahead of the standard Fiesta S.

  • I had the 3 Rear Windows Tinted to 75%, £70.00 from SWT Tints, in Tipton, proper professional job and surprisingly cheap! This can be seen in some of my later photos.
  • I painted my brake callipers blue, to highlight the blue on the alloys.

BODY KIT:

I added a Fiesta S Bodykit to my car, with all parts being ORIGINAL from Ford, who i also have a trade account with, and getting it all professionally painted and fitted with a perfect colour match from one of our Body Shop specialists, who usually do our alloy wheel referbs. I wouldn't recommend putting cheap body panels on your car, if your going to go down a similar route. The overall look and quality is easy to see, and some cheaper panels can appear funny when headlights shine on it.

  • Sideskirts: I got these direct from ford over the phone.
  • Fiesta Zetec S Front Upper Grill:

  • Light covers (Left & Right):

  • Added an 'S' badge. I saw alot of people just stick an adhesive badge to the grill... i tried this and wasted about £10. Get this one, put abit of 'Lock Tight' on it, and itll never budge.

CAUTION: I did get a set of wind deflectors from amazon, despite it looking GOOD they always caught the windows and left a slight scratch on the glass... So i took these off.

THESE cling to the ford seats perfectly! Ill post a photo at some point, really makes the interior look unique.

  • Here are some photos of the finished kit - Excuse the standard 15" rims, it was winter at the time, and these are now my winter wheels.

Heres the BEAST.

  • I removed my standard Tuner Nuts, for some Blue Racer Nuts off Ebay:

  • Next stage was a further upgrade in performance, removing the restrictive air-box, for a Puma Speed induction kit, and cold air intake. Gotta admit, for a reasonable £120.00 the Turbo Chatter sounds amazing, and im hoping it'll sound even better through the new exhaust system i have ordered!
  • post-60748-0-06993500-1433631121_thumb.j
  • MONDAY I AM FITTING MY NEW MILTEK CAT-BACK STAINLESS SYSTEM - ILL POST SOME PHOTOS AND A BEFORE AND AFTER IN SOUND.

I ALSO PLAN TO DRIVE UP TO PUMASPEED TO REMOVE THE BLUEFIN AND UPGRADE TO A CUSTOM MAP - TO TAKE THE INDUCTION AND EXHAUST INTO CONSIDERATION.

THIS WILL PLACE MY LITTLE 1.0LTR 100BHP STANDARD FIESTA AT 160BHP.

100 STANDARD + 40BHP MAP + 5BHP INDUCTION KIT + 15/20BHP EXHAUST.

NOT TO BAD FOR SUCH A LITTLE ENGINE.

I am hoping to lower the car by around 35mm, only to the height of an actual Zetec S, and I'm only going to bother replacing the springs, rather than the full suspension.

If anyone could link me to any springs anyones selling, that would be sick, or if anyone could find a link to anything they recommend.

I spoke to ford about the chrome strips along sides, below the windows, as the Zetec S has black rubber ones. Upon speaking to ford they told me that they did not sell these black strips, so i took to the internet where i was recommended to use 'Plasti Dip', or 'Halfords' cheaper just as good 'Plasti Coat'. I spent a fair amount of time prepping and masking the strips. I found the finish was more of less perfect, and smooth.

I also had the boot strip done in a colour matched blue - I had to take this strip out, which was one tricky job.

Liking the work.

Your comment about the bluefin keeping warranty is incorrect. Remapping the car invalidates your warranty. This also the case with any non ford approved part.

Looking good, love the wheels.

A bluefin is on my shopping list too at some point.

car looks great & I like the detailed thread, ref tyres do you only sell/fit locally or can you ship tyres?

I like how it looks.. but due to the Bluefin, you need to be aware that your engine and drivetrain warranty will now be invalid.

15/20 from an exhaust. 10 at the most

Jamie

p.s i suggest you get this car rolling roaded when you have finished throwing money at it.

tbh you would have been better off buying an ST

might have to hit you up for some wheels and tyres soon...

for your wheels, did you have to fit a steering rack limiter or any spacers? somebody mentioned needing it for fitting st wheels on a titanium to stop them rubbing when on full lock
