Dave-2912 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hello Think they are standard on the Titanium but I have ordered some scuff plates today: http://www.lockwoodinternational.co.uk/fiesta-zetec-s-2008-on-sill-protectors-part-no-k01x-more-details-i1924.html Why they are not standard on the Zetec S is beyond me :( Gary Got the Ford ones as part of the deal on my last ZS and the new one. Same as these I think: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Fiesta-onwards-Plates-Protectors/dp/B005QXJW96 Pretty poor that they still arent standard though. I see them as pretty essential on a 3 door car. Could so easily be scratched by someone careless squeezing into the back. Gave a friend of a friend a lift once and instead of stepping straight into the back she stood on the door sill first. I think because she was so... rotund and inflexible. I soon let the fatty know I wasn't happy with her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Watt Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi I bought the cheaper ones, I liked the 'S' logo. I'll be watching anyone stepping into my car.......to be honest not a lot of folk get into it anyway! Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your car looks very similar to the one I'm expecting. Did you go for any options? Look forward to seeing your pics. Not that many candy blue ZSs around!

RickyT93 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 thankyou gary, yeah i was considering that as it doesnt look very costly but makes a nice edition to the front grille, know the best place for them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT93 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 hey dave, to be honest i think i had the pretty much standard zetec s, i didnt think it'd be worth forking out the extra ££ for things i wouldnt necessarily use. ill put the pics up tonight which i have already *apart from upgrading to the 17 inch alloys and tinted rear windows which set the car off lovely!

Hi Ricky I got my one here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330361112488 There are cheaper versions but they might not be of good quality. A pic of my one here: If you go for one give me a shout and I will give you advice on puttign it on. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Watt Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi all An image from last nights 'Meet' with Steveo. Weather was nice, few more images to follow! Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT93 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 i think im gonna go for the 'S' on the front grille, was also thinking about getting some nice white bulbs without having to spend an awful lot on HID's and maybe change the interior footwell lighting to blue, anyone have any advice on them? few pictures of the car i took when first got it, not quite best photography but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Watt Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hi Ricky 'S' badge will make a nice addition to the grille, sets it off perfectly. I also got an aluminium footrest plate for the far left of the pedals. Same design as the pedals and will stop wear and tear on that part of the carpet. I took some night time shots of the dash but they were crap. Will try again soon. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Watt Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hello again Got this pic on Friday evening: The way the light shines on the car it looks like it has a stripe Gary 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT93 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Very nice pic gary, i was thinking the same, if i hadnt of seen your comment underneath the picture i would have thought it had the stripe! looking very nice though Ricky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Watt Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks Ricky The more I look at that picture now the more I see the stripe Got the sill protectors, footrest plate, 'S' badge.....not sure what else I can do to it. I'm not very mechanical so not going to fuss around with lighting etc. I'd like blue glow in the footwells though, that woudl look good.
