Updating The Fiesta

Featured Replies

Hello all,

I have just bought a 2003 1.4 Ghia Ford Fiesta. Unfortunately it has a light colured interior which isn't to my taste. Is this a easy swap if I was to get a dark interior for the car, what mark is the 2003? Would a three door fit into a five door? Anything I need to be aware in relation to this?

I would like to modernise the look of the car by updating the alloy wheels and perhaps the lights by upgrading them to the facelift? Are the light units a direct swap between the facelift and the prefacelift?

Thanks in advance ;)

Jon



i agree with you the all black interior from the model year 2004 onwards is much nicer , the only thing i can think of is look on ebay or your local scrapyards

What years would fit? Would a facelift interior fit into my pre facelift?

doors cards and seats would fit your car from a 2003 - 2008 fiesta

it was only the actual dash board and steering wheel they changed on the inside

but make sure you get it of a 3 door car if your is a 3 doors and the same as if it were a 5 door , as the 3 doors have longer door cards.

also if you get something from a 2005 '55' onwards you get much better head rests there a anti whiplash design.

Cheers Posh, much appreicated.

Anyone have knowledge on the light units?

I had the light interior in my 2003 ghia and liked it better than the dark of the time.In the 2006 face lifted version I had it was black and gray leather,very nice indeed.Yes the face lifted interior would fit.Seats front and back door cards mats parcel shelf and all pillars.I don't remember what colour dash would be in yours because the face lifted one is different in design even though it will fit.

Cheers Posh, much appreicated.

2003 one is Mark 6. I used to have a 2003 fiesta ghia 1.4 but it had the darker grey velour seats. I assume you have the lighter cream coloured ones that will show up stains SUPER easy?

i think ( this is really of the top of my head so dont quote me on it) but the facelift rear lights have a reversing bulb on both sides wheras the prefaclift only had one the drivers side.

and im sure i read somewhere on a fiesta st forum that the bonnet its a slightly diffrent shape so the edge of the headlight dosent sit flush with the bonnet.
