GeorgeZS Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'm not sure if anyone has seen or heard but Ford are amending the various Fiesta Models, They have a done a few updates; carpeted the rear back seats; chrome interior door handles; new Zetec will benefit from 15" alloys in the style of the optional Zetec S 17" alloys as standard; DAB Radio will be offered on all series; The Titanium benefits from a new Chrome Strip on the Front Upper Grille and finally my favourite the 'Metal' in place of the S1600 .. • 1.6 134ps Ti VCT engine. • The will be a Limited run of 1000 units. • NEW body kit, featuring silver painted elements in the front bumper, chrome look fog lights and a dual chrome exhaust. • Black 17" alloys will be standard, Silver versions will be optional. • Black leather seats with silver contrast stitching (heated seats as standard) • Leather handbrake • Leather gear knob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know all the other amendments take action form July the 4th, so hopefully yours is built after then, contact your dealer see what they say regarding the build date.

MRC89 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 A few observations: That Fiesta Metal's paint looks matte? Is this a new colour or? I like the interior too, seems like they've sprayed all the silver plastics, into a glossy black :) Full leather steering wheel!? I think I prefer the current sport grill to the one shown on the picture, just looks like the standard one lined in chrome. With a few tweaks I think this car could look really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiestaOwner Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I like the interior too, seems like they've sprayed all the silver plastics, into a glossy black :) I guess it's down to personal taste but I do like the look of the interior, reminds me of a line from Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy... "Every time I press one of these black controls, labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let me know I've done it."

Tato Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Fiesta Centura Specification I was almost sure that Ford will use these LED system for the new editions or facelift Fiesta cars, but honestly I find them somehow "outside" the design of the car...but that's just my opinion...

Yes it would look a lot better if it was more integrated into the bumper, but the reason is because it requires to be retro fitted by the dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It flattens the subtle crease below the headlamps, which softens to face of the whole car, which is bad imo. Also they look too high, DRL's look good, but only in the right places. I think for the fiesta that should be in the lower grill, or around the fog lamp area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011fiesta Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 the reason is because it requires to be retro fitted by the dealer So could these be fitted to our fiestas for example if we went to a dealer who ordered some. ( which I'd be very tempted to do if they'd looked a bit better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sufcgb Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 They are expensive I've ordered some for my fiesta 2 days ago they are £432.00 just for the LED DRLS colour coded in vision blue then you'll have to pay ford to have them fitted, I will post pictures of before and after when I get them fitted some time in september and with the total price that I paid for them and fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
