Mikous Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Just registered tonight because I'm a new driver and have myself a Ford Fiesta Zetec Climate 1.25. I also joined because I heard a rumour that joining a specialist forum lowers insurance :) So here's a pic of my fiesta now: And here's what I hope it will look like when I'm done with it (green neon was a joke i really reallllly don't want that ever) I've been scouting around the internet because I'm really looking forward to modding this after I (hopefully) pass my test in April and i've been getting rather confused because it is neither a MK6 or a MK7...? Very hard to buy parts for a car that no websites recognise! Any help would be much appreciated. When its finished I'm hoping for: -new lowering springs -xenon headlights with hopefully a new black unit in there completely -black rims -some funky exhaust -maybe some sort of spoiler cause the back looks very bare But I'm terrified cause my insurance only allows the alloys, nothing else. Not sure what to do??? Thanks for reading :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazjs Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Welcome :D It could well be an MK6.5 .... The Facelift of the Mk6. Type in Mk6.5 or Mk6 facelift to google images and see if that is your car ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikous Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Sorted out the pictures! Any suggestions for modifications within a budget of about £700 would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 That is def a 6.5 :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikous Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thank God for that! At least I know what I'm spending money on now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_P Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Welcome! Yes its deffinatly a mk6.5 Moddifications dont sound too OTT, what sort of differences to the insurance would all those make pricewise? Dont want to sound like a killjoy but your probs better off just spraying the original alloys black, as its still a standard part and wont make a difference to the insurance. Just make sure you declare anything you add on to the car and enjoy it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffoo Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Welcome :) I also joined because I heard a rumour that joining a specialist forum lowers insurance :) Dear god, I wish!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coysht Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 That is def a 6.5 :P Well you say that.... Most eBay sellers would call it a Mk7. Best bet is to search by model year rather than Mk numbers as Ford themselves have never officially used Mk numbers, so they are open to (alot of) public debate. But as you say, around these parts that would be known as a Mk6.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Welcome to the Forum! :) By the looks of that pic, you just need to powdercoat your alloys and switch your headlights and fogs on to get your ideal Fez! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikous Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Well I was 17 in November? Basically my insurance isn't affected by mods, they have a list of things they allow and don't. You don't have to eeclare the stuff they allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
