jsk Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hi all Just been onto the ford website to price up a new Fiesta and noticed that it looks like they have discontinued the Magnetic paint version. So far have checked Titanium, Titanium X and Vignale none of them showing a Magnetic version. Shame really as I considered this one of the better colours after they got rid of the Deep Impact Blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Yes, as mentioned on @Bobr's Stolen Fiesta thread, did the same thing the other day. Quite fancied Magnetic if I get another Ford, too. I wonder if it's all part of the drive to cut down the possible build combinations as many manufacturers seem to be doing at the mo.

jbell Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 That's really disappointing. I've had a midnight sky fiesta for 4-5 years, if I stick with ford it will be either magnetic fiesta or focus next. Sticking with ford is less likely if only one of those are available.

Bobr Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 It seems that they are the only colours for the whole Fiesta line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Have noticed Titaniums and Vignales have the options of Chrome Blue which doesn't look to bad. Might go for that this time next year if Ford doesn't change their mind again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny E Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just checked the ford site, Magnetic is available on all 2021 Fiesta Models,but strangely, at different prices, depending on which model you chose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st line x 140 driver Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Looks like they have dropped the desert island blue now too 27 minutes ago, Danny E said: Just checked the ford site, Magnetic is available on all 2021 Fiesta Models,but strangely, at different prices, depending on which model you chose .

Weird - I wonder if it was a glitch with the configurator (not unknown) or Mr Ford has been reading the site and noted our concerns?😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I found the withdrawal of the colour rather strange. Everyone who's seen mine loves the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny E Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Dont think it was a withdrawal of the colour range, just the site being updated to reflect some small changes to 2021 MY Fiesta models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtulip8 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Is Chrome Blue still on? My Fiesta looks great in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's the free colour so why spend up to £650 more on another colour only to make your car slower? Unfortunately I made that up - it does look smart on an ST or ST-L, though, and I've found it quite good at still looking fairly clean even when the car's absolutely filthy - which mine is at the moment!😃 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 £250 for Frozen White? What a rip off...they just lacquer the undercoat don't they? 🤭 Also, surely 'Freedome' is a typo? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a rip off...they just lacquer the undercoat don't they? 🤭 Also, surely 'Freedome' is a typo? White was a "free" colour on most makes as far back as I can remember, usually along with red and a nondescript blue. We last got it foc on a Mk 7 Fiesta in early 2012, Ford started charging shortly after that, with others quickly following suit. Never really understood the basis for paint charges (other than they do it because they can). Sure, metallic costs more than flat red, but £650 on a Fiesta? Really? Back when I used to buy a lot of fleet vehicles, we got a discount for ordering vans without the factory top coat (ie in primer) then negotiated a deal with manufacturers to have our corporate colour factory applied as a special vehicle option at pretty nominal cost. (Can't remember the exact figures, it's a long time ago now and as I'm sure Tom will point out, we were still using groats then!😃 Tried that Freedome (or whatever) Blue on the configurator and wasn't keen. Do like the Chrome Blue, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Completely off topic but I'd never heard of a groat either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 A groat was a 4 pence piece. John 'o Groats is supposed to have got its name from the fee a boatman charged for his ferry. That is rather doubtful though. The last groat was issued in 1856 although they are still included in Maundy sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
