id tint the windows yes,

but leave the rear lights mate, thats chavvy in my opinion,

you could change interior lights to led, and fit some front and rear footwell lighting, aswell as upgrading the fog lights to cree 6000k led bulbs and fitting some 5 smd 6000k led parking bulbs, a cree Q5 reverse light bulb, a waterproof zetec s printed rear seat cover,

It's this angle the lights look too red!

I have recently fitted the Cree Q5 reversing bulb, thanks to Lenny's posts and I can confirm that it is totally awesome! £13 from Alltronix.com

Looks tasty as it is!

I've replaced all bulbs on my focus to LED's, and changed the headlights and fogs to get rid of the yellow tinge! Makes it look a lot better IMO!

For photos, my thread is in the focus section!

the MOT test desnt require any

but some cars have two, and ive got two now

and trucks have 4 two on the cab and two on the trailor and if a car had a trailor or caravan on it then it would have four too.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat mate, wanna mod my fiesta with some minor, subtle mods to improve the look and distinguish it from bog standard without looking chavvy! I bought some ford badge overlays from http://www.dmb.uk.com/ got some nice blue on white badges which look kinda cool, but subtle. Got a beesting aerial, ford oem chrome dust caps and that's it so far! DMB are a really good website for Ford stuff, take a look! Thinking of getting this http://www.dmb.uk.com/prod/279/fiesta-mk6-side-stripes-ford-oval-front or this http://www.dmb.uk.com/prod/279/fiesta-mk6-side-stripes-ford-oval-front in silver. What does everyone think?

Mk7s have twin reverse lights so I should be able to fit some sort of better bulb, except the front of the housing is clear, might have to go with multi SMD LED and not Crees :(

Wouldn't the Cree bulbs end up more like a spot/projector light if they can't reflect off the lens housing? :blink:

suppose they would yes,

but the lens on the cree reverse units is a bubble shape which spreads the light all angles for 180 degrees so its a wide angle spread of pure white 6000kelvin light.
