JT_Fiesta02 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 You got a lot of mods on your flame? And that's actually not too bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT_Fiesta02 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Do you have any no claims yourself? Or is this your first year driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 You got a lot of mods on your flame? And that's actually not too bad!I've got a few :) Retrofitted electric mirrors. £500+ ICE Projector headlights & HIDs LED footwell lighting Hydrodipped centre console, door handles & mirrors Aftermarket alloys Rear subframe Polybushes Wind deflectors There's always a few I forget too All recently declared I told them I had a years experience on the road from my 2 stroke geared bike days ;). But it's my first year driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT_Fiesta02 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Ah right! That's probably why your so expensive! Was thinking about new wheels and wind deflectors lowering springs and spoiler but I just doubt I'm gonna get much back when I sell it! Already put a grand in for repairs! Bought it for £650 but could easily sell it for a lit more at the moment! Got mine for a steal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought it for £650 but could easily sell it for a lit more at the moment! Got mine for a steal It went up £200 with the above mods and a few future ones! Still extortionate :( I put a lot of money into parts for the first mk6 I had but did all the work myself saving me a small fortune. Passed a month after my 17th and learnt with a family friend which also saved me a fortune... All those fortunes then went on the insurance.. the joys of being young! Suppose I should insure it for business use too at some point... I paid over the phone.. they basically said that it doesn't count as no claims which is fair enough but they'll "make a note of it" so it's basically made no difference I've started piecing together airride components too.. Insurance are sure going to love me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Stick a set of decent used alloys on it and maybe lower it and then start putting the cash away for a Zetec S or ST. You can sell the wheels on then when you sell the car and get most of your money back if you buy a good used set at the right price. Think of what you could be driving next year if you save all your money and just put up with a few basic mods for now.:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT_Fiesta02 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 That's still crazy price for it but then again! If you can afford it then go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT_Fiesta02 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah I guess your right! I will probably keep the car in its shape at the moment as it looks pretty decent! Then upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 That's still crazy price for it but then again! If you can afford it then go for it! It's the cheapest insurance I can get without a black box :( still 1400 with a black box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT_Fiesta02 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 That's mad! Have you tried direct line? It changes how much you pay depending on the day and they are the cheapest I found! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT_Fiesta02 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 You got the money for it? What colour is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Black. Mods will be done month by month as I get paid, couple of things to pay off first as the car was more than I originally planned on spending so once thats sorted I will start spending!

Les2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi I've got a 1.6 zetec s black , I was just wondering what mods I can do to the engine and decent body kits . I have done a few things to make it look good , I've gone with purple as secondary colour . Any tips and mods would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
