Crraigan Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hey Guys, This is something I've never done but something I look forward to progressing with. A couple of weeks ago I traded in my Panther Balck 6.5 Zetec S for a Frozen White 7.5 Zetec S and it has been a great week of driving it. Its safe to say I am more than pleased with my purchase. Now I'm looking to do little bits to it to make it that bit more personal but also bit different to every other fiesta. So please all suggestions are welcome. This is a list of what I have planned already in the future - alloys Colour change (powder coated) - Roof Wrapped - Replacing all bulbs - HID conversion - De-badge - Headlight Tint - Wrap Steering wheel and vents (already done steering wheel but may change it now if had a proper practice) Thanks for taking a look and appreciate any suggestions Also it does need a clean if anyone wants to put forward their detailing equipment, tips and products that would also be great ( I have merguiars 1,2,3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crraigan Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks guys this is the carbon fibre wrapped steering wheel that I did. Took me few attempts but I'm happy with it now. Debating on changing to gloss black to match the centre though. Hmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

666Damian666 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looks nice on the wheel, maybe doing the inside door handles would look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crraigan Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Cheers for the ideas guys. I'll give them ago when I have a bit of time. Is there a tutorial to get the handles off? Or isit easily explained? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be getting done when it's try and I have purchased all headlight bulb replacements so I can do it all in one. I'm looking for HID Kit on HIDs direct but unsure what is compatible. May just email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crraigan Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Can someone help? I am looking at putting in a HID Kit. but can you get the same/similar output and effect from just replacing the bulbs? @Tom-B64 I think I've seen something you've done with your light? maybe you can help or point me in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-B64 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 @Crraigan Yes mate I've just got bulbs from CEUK. I recommend the dipped beam, sidelights, reverse lights and number plate units. Steer clear of the main beams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to do about those Neither are mine so I thought I'd go for the CEUK main beams (which are DRL's in ours) but the main beam is terrible. They're quite white as DRL's just driving round in the day light but as soon as you want them for main beams they're awful. Almost not worth putting main beam on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussJ Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 What colour was you thinking for your alloys? I too have just recently purchased a Fiesta Zetec S in Frozen White. Have you considered the anthracite 5 spoke alloys used on the ST? Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crraigan Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't want t purchase new ones atm I'm just going to go for a powder coat of I'm thinking gunmetal grey. I've recently wash/polished/waxed it and put on some wind deflectors. Just waiting for pay day to get the alloys in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666Damian666 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'm thinking about Matt black or gunmetal Mk7.5 17 inch alloys on my White ZS soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crraigan Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Okay I haven't updated in a while as I haven't had enough time to do anything. Today I received a roll of wrap which I am going to do tomorrow. Also today I had my alloys sprayed Gloss Black and I am really happy with them. once wrap is on and set I wil give it a clean and upload some update pictures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crraigan Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 This was a first attempt at wrapping the roof. It does need redoing now I've had a practice I think I know where I've gone wrong. It's all experience I don't get how the photos work on this!!! 😠😠 Moving in as you can see the wheels are now gloss black and here is a picture of the alloys And lastly I have upgraded the dipped beam and DRL bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
