Zetec Blue update

Featured Replies

Took this photo today in snowy Scotland.

Current changes (visible in photos); gloss black upper/lower front grilles, ZS/ST fog light surrounds, chrome grille, de-tangoed lights, xenon halogen bulbs, richbrook aerial, wind deflectors, anthracite powdercoated alloys, aero wiper blades.

Also you can’t see in this; rear chrome tailgate strip, LED number plate lights, interior map lights, black leather gear gaiter/handbrake surround with blue stitching, original floor mats.

Next up (potentially!); Seat Ibiza side repeaters, rear window tints, fit Vodafone flush rear parking sensor kit, mudflaps, replace driver door mirror (the common clicking when folding problem), DAB radio, ZS/ST silver interior door grab handles, silver door handles, LED map lights, some interior ambient lighting.

Think that’s all for now, but any suggestions welcome! I’m very OEM-like, as you may have guessed.

Looks good. How did you detango the lights? Really do like the look of those ghia wheels. I fitted smoked LED side repeaters on my fiesta which came off a mk4 golf and that fitted in without any problems however you'll need to wire in a different plug. Could give a suggestion on upgrading the front brakes to ST discs. I did that on mine and there's noticeable difference in braking force. Best to have good / bigger brakes in case of a emergency stop. You also have 16 inch alloys like me so can say in confidence the discs and calipers will fit no problem.

De-tangoing was difficult! Had to basically poke out the orange plastic filters and break them up with long pliers! Took forever aha

Side repeaters look great! I’ve always thought VW/Seat one’s would fit, as Galaxy/Sharan share the same as the Fiesta. 

The alloys were standard on the Zetec Blue, but thought I’d colour change for a different look. Uprated brakes defo food for thought, looks/sounds great.

Cars looking nice 🙂, how did you get your grills glossy black? Spray paint? If so what one? Also where did you get the chrome from for the grille? 

 

I have the zetec in black and think yours looks smart

Did you machine polish it? You can see the shine there. I machine polished my fiesta a month ago and what a difference that made. I could now see the metallic flakes sparkle. Here's 50 /50 shots of the bonnet.
