supraking Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 hey folks, gunna re do this post as photobucket put a stick in the works so my candy blue zs got it a year and half ago with 12k on the clock, now getting close to 26k sailed through two mots and has only needed a set of front tyres when i got it i cleaned it to within an inch of its life, clay bar, full wheel off clean type of job. and have pretty much just been keeping on top of that over the time ive had it the only mods done to it so far are a colour coded ST diffuser and a debadge and that brings us up to today, did the vinyl number plate thingy, had to cheat a little bit, doing it myself meant the full width wasnt working. its a tad rough around the edges, but you have to get close to notice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Doesn't look bad. Could look at upgrading the lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 cheers buddy, im not too fussed about major spending on it, i like it how it is and have other things to pour my money into. would love to do the indicator bulbs. but yeah subtle little touches here and there, gunna try and get a set of deflectors and would love a set of colour coded eyebrows at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If you want bright indicators with built-in resistors try autobeams premium indicators. I have them on my fiesta and they give out a bright intense amber light. Could smarten up your sidelights and number plate lights to some nice white LEDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorygallagher2010 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Looks great. Love how clean your wheels look, and the debadge looks better to me. My only suggestion would be to change the aerial for one of the low profile ones (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Richbrook-Logo-Profile-Roof-Aerial/dp/B004AVWX46/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1511385213&sr=8-2&keywords=fiesta+aerial), although be aware that some of the reviews claim that the FM reception isn't as good (It's not something I noticed personally, but I rarely listen to the radio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 cheers buddy, its on the list and i never listen to the radio, got a usb plugged in and that stays on all the time and the wheels got a day each (and the wheel wells) they got cleaned, clay'd and sealed id love to find some pictures, but would seem photobucket like to shaft us edit, found some. it hasnt been done since. working too hard. but i think ill whip them off in the new year and give them a good seeing to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Need to do that on my fiestas wheels. Would use wheel cleaner and fallout remover along with a clay bar. Sealants could use a wheel sealant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraking Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 i think i have most on my pc somewhere, its more the inconvenience of having to update 10 years worth of forums posts. and ive been very active on a few of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focusits2006 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Are you talking about the reason why pictures dont display on 80% of topics..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 yes, photobucket want you to pay $500 a year to use them and has broken the internet. yes there are ways to see them, but its a faff. and yes you can re-upload. but over the past decade or so ive posted thousands of pictures on hundreds of forums. and I and everyone else, wont be updating them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraking Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 got a few things over the festive period an instagram account some team heko deflectors and some rs vents and visited my family. had to grab a pic of my bro's pfl. my little sisters ka and mine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Do the vents stick on or do you have to drill through the bonnet? Also like the wind deflectors but don't know about getting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 the vents are stick on. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Focus-RS-ST-Style-Decorative-Bonnet-vent-No-Cutting-Required-Universal-Black/222750496164?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 they dont come with anything to fix them on though, and the foam pads i bought are thin, had to layer them up so spent another 5 quid on sticky foam pads from Halfords. and as you can see, the right one isnt straight :( take more time than i did if you get them and the deflectors https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heko-FORD-FIESTA-mk7-3-doors-2008-2017-2-pc-Wind-Deflectors-Tinted/302161532879?fits=Model%3AFiesta&epid=1405399387&hash=item465a3b17cf:g:KywAAOSwv9FXg6CF but they are for the mk7. just eBay mk6 heko windeflectors. sort by the cheapest and buy from the one thats sold the most to make sure they are genuine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro_Tull Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Why not just fit some proper vents? This easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 for many many reasons and id rather not have my thread turned into a vent argument 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro_Tull Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I was simply asking why you chose to stick them on instead of cutting them in. It was a reasonable question, politely put - nobody is starting an argument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Sorry but I'm used to the Facebook group that goes mental at the mere thought of stick ons But for me the main reason was having to locate a bonnet when this goes back. It's either expense or hassle doing it yourself For the sake of a small aesthetic mod its just not worth it. I'd rather put that bit extra towards something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro_Tull Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Indeed! That's why I don't do Facebook or other social media - its full of chumps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
