What To Upgrade?

Featured Replies

Hello everyone!

This is my first topic on the FOC website :lol:

I have a green fiesta zetec, and am wanting to upgrade visually and in performance. I have approx. £1000 to spend and would like to know what to get with it. I have the 1.4 litre petrol engine.

What visual and performance upgrades would you get for a grand?

Cheers, Graeme!



The ZS spoiler would make the rear look ten times better for sure. ;)

Erm £1000 to spend???? Well i would start hit pumaspeed hard and spunk £446 on these http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk/showdetails.jsp?productID=827 then £163 on these http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk/showdetails.jsp?productID=170.

Maybe this aswell? http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk/showdetails.jsp?productID=820

I am lost on the pumaspeed site, its just makes be wanna spend money all the time!!!!!!!!

Was thinking of getting this, does it actually help performance at all?

Rear Diffuser Link

Thanks!

Rear Diffuser Link

Thanks!

Just the diffuser? No.

If you wanna keep your warranty then fit eibach lowering springs. And go to http://www.mountuneperformance.co.uk/ aswell as its ford approved

The rear spoiler idea will probs be your best option in terms of styling. It will be around £300 fitted (including paint). I have done this and finishes off the car very well.

The rear diff in your link is VERY expensive for something which sticks onto the bumper! :o :o I would avoid that option and get the official Ford Zetec S rear diff. Atleast its bolted onto the car ;)

Plus it's ugly as hell! In my opinion :unsure:

welcome to the forum Graeme :)

I agree with the comments above on addition of the ZS spoiler and Eibach lowering springs (I have them and they make a world of difference! :D). I wouldn't go the the expense of the coilover kit, the Eibachs will do fine at a 1/4 the cost!

As for the Mountune upgrade, i'm not sure they do anything for the 1.4??

My advice is to simply drive it and enjoy it for what it is, than worry about what it could be ;)

Hello FMC!

Thanks for the welcome, and nice to see someone else from South Wales :D

Seems like i will be getting the ZS spoiler and the eibachs, as everyone seems to recommend them. Not sure on what alloys to get yet as am not too keen on the 17" ZS ones. Was thinking of getting these!

Cheers! :)

I've got a mate from Llandov! And if you want a recommendation on where to get your Eibachs fitted, give S&S Motors in Ferndale a ring, ask for Paul and say Regan recommended you - they charge £93 to fit all 4 whereas Ford main dealers wanted 6h labour @ £95/hour :blink:

Also, try Bridgend Ford for the Eibachs, as their website states 15% discount on ALL Ford parts ;) http://www.bridgendf...er?newsId=50805

Those wheels look a bit bling B) Would look great with the Eibachs fited :)
