I am not sure if this has been asked before so sorry if it has and if you could point me in the right direction then I would be grateful.

I have just been into my Polar ford today and managed to walk out ordering a 14 plate new Spirt blue ST-2 Fiesta with style pack absolutely can't wait !!!

Because I have a week or so before I get it I was going to buy a few lights for it ready for when I get it. I think I have found the dipped is H11 so I am going for the Phillips Blue vision but I would like to get some number plate lights and change the reversing lights but I am not to sure what bulbs they are.

If anyone could tell me what the bulbs are for the number plate lights and reversing are I would be grateful then I can get them ordered :)

Cheers

PS anything anyone would recommend as a must have on them as well then feel free to tell as all the help would be very helpful as it will be my first sporty car so I'm in the unknown a bit. So cheers in advance :)

Yeah I test drove a white one and didn't really see it's potential as the guy with me was a bit of a !Removed! !

I went in last week and the day after a blue one the spec I wanted got delivered into Liverpool so they put my deposit down and said I could have it with in 10 days. So they said hopefully it will be the 14th :D

Can't wait like I said it's the first kind sporty car I have had and from the test drive it was great :)

You might be able to help me as I think I may have order the wrong lights. Are the dipped H11 ? Or something different as I have checked two different forums and they say different things ?

Cheers. Yeah I've got the wrong ones !

It must of been the US spec I looked at :( haha I've bought H11 :?

I just have to send them back haha. Oh well not to worry.

Yeah the only reason I'm changing them is because of the LED DRL as there white I don't want yellowy headlights so bought some Phillip ones.

I can't actually wait haha :D

Another quick question. Is it true for the first 1000 miles or what ever it is you shouldn't really rev it heavy or something like that I read somewhere if it's a new engine ?

As it will only have delivery miles on it and I don't want to be breaking it if that makes sense :)

Yehhh possibly :) pretty certain there what I said, I'm sure someone with an st will clarify if I'm wrong.

With a new car you don't really need to break them in anymore, but it's recommended you take it easy for the first few thousand yes, it should state in your manual :) the odd full throttle blast won't hurt it though.

Haha yeah cheers for the manual thing.

I am swapping from a 1.6 TDCI ZS black 2010.

Been a great car that's why I went for another one but fancied the ST as I fell in love from it since day one.

I just think I'll find it hard not to put my foot down every now and then haha it's a fun car and it wants to be enjoyed :D

I'm still slightly confused on the headlights though haha

Could try some nightbreaker unlimiteds for the dipped beam, bit brighter in the beam I find so easier to see at night? Just a suggestion :)
