My MK7 Fiesta - Panther Black

[fiestafox]

Hi Guys

 

Thought I’d start some kind of build thread as I have a few things planned for my new baby! I bought her a few months ago and have done some small bits already.

 

 

 

 

These photos were taken a few days after I got her. I think the only thing I’d added here was the steering wheel cover.

 

 

I’m still wearing L Plates unfortunately! I suffer from panic attacks and put off driving for 10 years. Last year my younger 18 year old sister passed her test so I knew it was time to bite the bullet! I’m so glad I found an amazing instructor who understands and helps anxiety. I’ve now found that driving has actually helped my mental health and confidence loads! I’ve been ready for my test since January but kept putting it off until now. I’m booked in for the middle of next month... nervous!

 

My partner has been taking me to Ford shows for years and watching him put lots of hours into his own Ford made me interested in car mods.

 

I’ll update this as and when anything new goes onto/into the car. Any any ideas and suggestions for small mods at this stage would be great!

Good to see a projects / blog from you. I'm sure the other mk7 builds projects and your partner will give you some ideas on little touches or mods you can do 👍. 

Also good luck with your test. Main thing to remember is to keep calm. If you panic then your more likely to make an mistake. Back in my test I stalled the car and started to panic quickly turning it on then I just calmed down, took my time getting to the bitting point (forgetting about the person waiting behind me 😂) and gently moved off.

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to start one for ages but hadn’t got round to it. I’ve seen your thread before I think, but I’ve looked at so many I can’t remember who’s is who’s!

I’m doing mine in an automatic because I’m a wimp! I made the mistake of buying a cheap corsa 2 years ago and letting my partner teach me. I didn’t listen, I got angry, we argued [emoji23] It knocked my confidence though so I decided to try an automatic first with a proper instructor. Glad I made that decision because it’s at least got me on the road! Did you pass first time? I’m nervous as hell which is silly because I drive everyday in my fiesta and do fine! Perhaps even a little complacent [emoji85]

Looks cool! I’d definitely recommend upgrading the lights, makes a big difference. Gel badges, wind deflectors are basic but look good.

good luck with the test.
