Hi,

So it’s my 17th birthday in a couple of weeks, and my parents got me a 2020 Mk8 Fiesta ST-Line (95ps), in Desert Island blue. 
I think the car looks stunning stock. 
However, if anyone could suggest some subtle visual only mods that won’t affect insurance, please send them my way :)

What do you mean by subtle visual mods?
The ST-Line is already sporty looking so doesn't really need any visual mods. 
Btw, with your age, any mod will affect insurance, visual or otherwise. 

Why is there a hole in the windscreen? 😉

Seriously, the car won't need any visual mods, they look fine as they are.

Most mods, subtle or visual could end up costing you more on insurance or even invalidating it. 

 

That car doesn't need anything doing to it.

The only things I have done to mine are:

1) LED bulb to replace the halogen dipped beam (which I think is now standard on the cars anyway)

2) LED fog lights

3) Sequential Indicators on the wing mirrors

I'm 21 and these only added £10 onto my insurance annually. 

As soon as you start going down the body kit route e.g. adding a splitter, bigger spoiler etc, your insurance will rocket.

By visual modifications, what I really meant to say was stuff like this lol. Where did you get LED fog lights from?

All of the stuff I have bought is from CEUK.

Hi.

If you do ever need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line.

Regards,

Dan.

Yeah it's a bummer isn't it. It came like that with the car. I've tried to polish it out, but as the saying goes, you can't polish a ***** lol.
