New Fiesta 1.0 Echboost But Of Advice?

Featured Replies

Hi guys I'm new to the forum so bare with me :)

I purchased a 14 plate fiesta 1.0 echboost and I am in love with the car, coming from a 1.4 sport megane it feels great, how ever I have always been into modding the visual appearances of my cars. So I was wondering if you guys think it's worth getting the standard alloys on my car sprayed black? And also if anyone has experienced changing their headlights to angel lights, or spraying the inside of the light covers black?

Thank you in advance post-59440-141407945828_thumb.jpg

Personally I'm not a fan of black wheels, they tend to make the wheels look smaller. So as you have small wheels to begin with it will be worse, how about getting some 17s.

Not seen any angel eyes yet, some people have split the light and painted them black, it does look good but most have said it's a real pain to do and not something they would do again.

Ford do make some black lights for the van which should be a straight swap as you don't have the LED DRLs.

Link to Angel Eyes? proper ones though and no pikey cheap ebay "kits"

Thanks for the reply's guys, in regards to the alloys being black I also thought that aswell about the size so thank you for that.

I'm tempted to change the grill but feel like I'll be to clumsy doing it :/

And I prefer led drls instead of these ones as it just feels like my sidelights are on
