Fiesta Metal Footwell Lighting

14 May 2013 - 11:51 AM

I will shortly be picking up a Fiesta Metal. It comes with the Sony DAB option. I was wondering which footwell LED's to go for? I have red ones in my ZS which fitted into the exiting holders, and matched the interior's red theme.

 

I have noticed that with the Sony DAB option the electronic display has a blue theme, so would blue be the best colour to go for? I can't confirm this as I haven't seen the interior of the Metal at night yet.

 

Can anyone point me to a link on eBay to buy suitable blue LED bulbs? I assume the holders are fitted in the Metal?

Fitting A Sony Dab Stereo To A Metal

12 May 2013 - 06:24 AM

Hello

 

First post in a while. I finally got round to buying a white Fiesta Metal, which I pick up at the end of the month. Whoop whoop!!

 

Unfortunately the one I went for doesn't come with the Sony DAB headunit. Can anyone tell me how I can go about retrofitting one into my Fiesta Metal? It comes with the standard piano black Ford stereo.  Where is the best place to buy one new? I'm guessing I'll also need a special tool to take the panels off. I'm not very good with this sort of thing so I hope it's relatively straightforward.

 

Also, I assume my car will not have the DAB antenna fitted? Is this a complicated job? I live in Devon so I'm not even sure if DAB works down here.

 

Can you also tell me if the speakers that come with the Sony DAB option are any different from the standard ones on the Fiesta Metal? I'm looking for the best sound quality so will consider upgrading these also if it's going to make a difference.

Upgrading The Exhaust Trim On A Fiesta Zs Ti-Vct

23 December 2012 - 12:08 PM

Hi all,

Has anyone upgraded the exhaust on their Fiesta ZS Ti-VCT?

I just want twin tailpipes to improve the appearance of the car from behind, as you can't even see the exhaust pipes on the standard car. It looks a bit bare back there with the grey rear difuser and nothing else. This looks like the best option but it is a complete exhaust upgrade so it's quite pricey (£400 installed):

Is there any trim only accessory out there to fit to my existing downward pointing pipes which doesn't involve cutting a hole out of my rear diffuser?

Cheers

Best Wax For White Fiesta?

07 December 2012 - 03:20 PM

Hi guys

I started a similar thread a while ago but didn't get much of a response.

I'm after buying a good quality wax to use on my car for protection and looks. Based on the reviews I've seen, it looks like Autoglym High Definition Wax or Finish Kate 1000p would give my white paintwork that head-turning, ultra reflective finish that I'm after.

Does have any experience with using either? If they're both as good as each other, which is the easiest to apply? Not bothered about price differences, as I can get either fairly cheap if I shop around.

I'll be applying it after a wash / clay and Autoglym Super Resin Polish.

Swapping A Zs For A Metal?

25 November 2012 - 06:27 PM

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how much cash I would need to part with in order to trade in my white Zetec S for a similar age/mileage Metal. The ZS has 13k on the clock but I am putting 400 miles a week on it getting to work and back so should I be looking to trade up sooner rather than later?

My ZS is in immaculate condition but I am considering parting with a grand or so to have the leather interior, twin exhaust and performance boost, etc. I absolutely love the handling and driving characteristics of the ZS, I look forward to driving it every time I step into the car, but it just makes me want that little bit more power. I've looked into a Mountune upgrade but it would be cheaper to part ex my car for a Metal plus I would get all the extras as well.

Do you think it's worth it? Is the metal going to cost me more to run? (I do about 70% of my driving on the motorway).
