Hi Everyone,

Have been a member a while now, but never posted.. great site!

Had a MK6.5 for 3 years, and have wanted a MK7 for ages...so thought i'd treat myself....

Picked up my new MK7 last week, always wanted a black car. It's a standard (apart from Bluetooth) Zetec 5 door 1.25.

Can't believe how different it feels compared the MK6.5, am loving it!

If anyone has any ideas for mods etc let me know..i'd like to put some bigger wheels on at some point as think the 15"s can look a bit lost in the car sometimes...

Looking sweet!!

Did you get a spare wheel with it or just the repair kit?

I picked up my Zetec 1.25 today, and has the repair kit......

Need to source a spare wheel kit.......

Mine is Mars Red (dark orange metallic)

Looks great!

Hi, welcome to the forum!

Check out www.dmb.uk.com for badge overlays if you want to change the blue ones.

Also there's a replacement grill available here http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=Fiesta+Asian+grill&_sacat=0&_from=R40 which improves the front a lot.

I'm sure others will help you out with other ideas. Enjoy your time here. These guys are a helpful and nice bunch

Looks very smart. Best colour in my opinion. ;-)

I'd recommend tints for the back side and rear windows

Thanks for the comments everyone...

I managed to get a spare wheel kit thrown in for £50 (usually £120 i think) just for the peace of mind really. Will be looking at getting the tints done, the car wasn't a factory order so couldn't add them as an option. Bristol Street quoted £250 for the job, which i thought was a bit pricey?

Cheers, with your kit, did you get a spacesaver or a full size steel? if full size? what is the tyre size please and does it fit fine in the boot?

Nice, I love my black mk7. :D

One thing though, isn't the zetec badge missing from the boot?

Mine is a Zetec too, and does not have the Zetec badge either!

Maybe they stopped putting it on, but I thought all Ford cars, Zetec trim upwards, had trim level badges on? Zetec, Zetec S, Titanium, etc...

Nice car dude!

I recomed either new Xeon bulbs or HIDS

Iv had both, also LED footwell lights , look on my photos and see what I mean!

Really cheap mods but look fantastic!

Welcome to the MK7 club!! :)

Ford don't put the trim level badge on anymore.

Ford don't put the trim level badge on anymore.

Didn't realise that, bit of a shame imo but another cost cutting measure I guess.

Had a quick look & the spare is a 14" steel wheel, fits fine in the boot you wouldn't know its there. I guess they don't fit them as standard anymore due to weight saving?

A question about changing to LED's for the footwell & sidelights, would the led's fade on & off when the doors are opened / closed the same as the normal bulbs?
