Well after all the st's popping up and me looking into it for a while but not moving forward. Went to ford fair and decided I was going to look properly when I got home.

Just spoke to my dealer and priced up a panther black st-2 with orange recaros and st style pack with cruise control and possibly convience pack (what's in it ?) factory build to do a straight swap against my zs, comes at £60 more a month to just swap and do a three year term again. Good deal or ?

Going in on Saturday and can guarantee il end up doing it now, won't be able to resist.

What you guys think ?

sweet!!! your gonna love it! Are there are pre built ones available? You could do what Ive just done, find one in stock the spec you want and get it on a 14 plate so it is dirt cheap?

Convenience is keyless entry and powerfold mirros on st, anyway from the spec you want I'd go for an st3, I know for a fact there is a ST3 in panther black with parking sensors available atm , I spoke to my salesman this morning about it.

Can we get some more Orange ones in at all? Allow black, quite boring tbh.

Feeling sorry for all these ZS owners at the moment, market will be saturated with 2nd hand ones they'll struggle to shift them.

Hopefully matey, gonna go and sort it Saturday fingers crossed :D yehh tried that but they've got none in stock so it'd have to be built :( and want to stick with who I'm already with as it's a family member who works there.

Ahhh I see might leave the convience pack then il decide on Saturday. They can't get it from another dealer ?

Ask them they should be able to buy it off another dealer, the black one is in salisbury Id didnt want it so got them to buy a blue st3 in from midlands somehwere for me, there are gonna be loads of these 1.0 s' floating around the market, everyone is converting!

Nice mate! I can't wait to get my ST-2 pick it up middle of September new from the factory! Got all the extras too apart from sat nav, starting to think I maybe should have just gone st3 though...

Yehh il see what they say on Saturday then and let you's know :p Hahaa and I knoww there good cars, il miss mine.

Bet you can't wait Martin, not long at all that now, See how long it'll take for me on Saturday if I sign the dotted line :D

Yeah haha, i ordered mine in June, but of a wait on brand new factory build cause the way the do it! Goes through the normal factory then gets sent to another for the seats, body kit etc put on :/ but definitely worth the wait! Toying with he idea of sending it to mountune too for the MP215 kit :)

Good choice, although I don't really like them in black. Have you actually seen one in person? It can be hard to tell them apart from a ZS from some angles just because the details don't really stand out. But if you like it in black then go for it :)

Noo! Keep your Candy Blue! :(

Yehhh worth the wait and hopefully I won't have to wait too long, not too bothered if I have to anyways. See what they say Saturday. Yehh I'm definately going to get the mp215 kit aswell.

Yehh I've seen black in the metal, I know what you mean about the grill etc, but I like it stealth mode ;) and I want orange seats which I can't have with blue and don't want white or red so it's got to be black.

Noo! Keep your Candy Blue! :(

Hahaa I love it but it's just not enough :( want the st but I wish they did it in candy blue hahaha

Ask them they should be able to buy it off another dealer, the black one is in salisbury Id didnt want it so got them to buy a blue st3 in from midlands somehwere for me, there are gonna be loads of these 1.0 s' floating around the market, everyone is converting!

Glad I packed mine in. Quite a few people trading their 1.0s.. Can only seem them depreciate more because of how many units are available!

Yep, I have been seduced by the dark side too....

Think I actually like the Spirit Blue more than the Candy blue...... :P

There's too many and all with grey seats as orange isn't an option. I liked my candy blue because it was rarer in zs form. Like the black in the st, so might go stealth fighter jet mode with it 😎 Hahaa

My ZS in Candy blue was lush, I think it was the body kit and the black grill at the front...Did get mentioned a lot!

I know... Could not get the Red seats on the spirit blue!

You know what, I nearly nearly went for the panther black, someone at the dealership said ooh get the panther black with those led drl's, and I really wanted the red interior, yes there are a lot of spirit blues, but 'not' where I live!!! Have only seem 2 red ones, and the guy dealing with my order said through research that the coloured cars held better than the shaded colours like white n black... Personally I would have had one of each.

But I gladly pass the honour of it to you, having panther black with the led drl's and the red interior. Plus there is always the option to change the interior in mine later..

Do it... go Stealth fighter mode.... ha ha.. :D :D

I wanted a black ST, but they literally had none available within my area. Personally I'm not a fan of the red seats but that's just me. My plan was to get a black one and go stealth on it, then if I ever got bored of the colour I could get it wrapped. Having a black one is better because the inside panels where you see colour would just be black and not be noticeable whereas any other would be. My plan was to wrap it lambo yellow but can't do that with a blue car :(

Nice one Nathan looks like we didn't have to twist your arm too much on Sunday. Could you finance over 4 years to reduce payments a little? And what about insurance has that increased much

Haha nice, it seems the past few days the ranks of ZS owners are shrinking rapidly!

Hahaa not too much, couldn't resist after seeing them all at ford fair. There obviously popular for a reason.

Yehh possibly, gonna see what they say on Saturday and can sort a deal then. So I can sort out removing my registration plate and insurance etc. It's worked out at an extra £120 a year for the st on insurance so it's a no brainer ?

Haha nice, it seems the past few days the ranks of ZS owners are shrinking rapidly!

I had to jump on the bandwagon to see the hype :p not even driven one yet :(

I'm the same mate I've kit driven one either haha!
