That's a nice looking ZS :). The ST alloys would look great, but I'm not sure if you'd want the Rado Grey ones or the standard colour (same colour as yours). They should be the same size so your tyres should fit them.

Yeah i quite like the rado grey ones! i think mine at the minute are 16" so would like to get 17" alloys really! Dont know whether to get black alloys or not, dont want my car to look too 'boyish' if you know what i mean haha!



If you don't want it to look too "boyish" could always get pink alloys ;)

I can't find any for sale.. How are you getting on with your st ;)

Looks good :). I can't tell from the pictures if you changed the indicator bulbs. Are you planning on changing the other bulbs too? There are a few threads on here about the different bulbs you can get, I'd recommend Philips CrystalVision for the dipped beam, but they're not road legal if that bothers you.

Thank you and no I haven't changed any bulbs as of yet. Thinking about de tangoing the indicators and getting different bulbs but I'm afraid I'm going to go for legal ones lol ;)

I went for legal ones first, but didn't like them because they didn't match the LED DRLs in colour. You don't have that problem though so you could go for Philips WhiteVision or Osram Cool Blue, there are a few other good ones too. They are both road legal and should give off a much whiter light than the standard bulbs, still a little bit yellow though.

ST's going good. 550 miles on it now. Had someone knock my wing mirror off the other week but all fixed now!

Those gels look really neat! Where'd you find them and for how much? I want me some :)

How you getting on with the mods... you got anything planned performance wise? I had a mk6zsTDCI and got a bluefin device for it, really makes a difference to the car..

Oh and I've still got it, not trying to sell it, honest :P

Happy new year to you all! Here's a little update!!

Gave her a good wash today for the new year! And also fitted the fly eyes to the headlights!

BF779325-48FF-4456-9B36-6597D65A39F3_zps

Not sure whether to do the rear lights yet but here are a few ideas I have when I have the money to do so:

De tango, not sure what bulbs I need or are recommended? Also I'd light the blue tinge headlights but again not sure on what bulbs are best for this

Metal door sills

Asian grill

17 inch alloys the street pack ones or the new fiesta st alloys

Any advice or recommendations is appreciated :)

Happy new year :)

Happy new year :)

The car looks great. The bulbs I used to detango were Osram Diadem Chrome, but there are a few other options. The pic below could be good for a comparison - mine is the car on the right and the other two have different indicator bulbs.

Just a little update!

i took her out for a spin in the snow with the boyfriends mini!

image_zps6c26db4c.jpg

image_zps340b965d.jpg

image_zps4c04c540.jpg

ive literally been washing her every week but now ive given up! it gets so dirty!

Anyway ive still got a few mods in mind when i have a chance!

new 17" alloys

door sills

red callipers

possibly spray interior gloss black

Looks like fun :). I've only seen snow a couple of times and it hasn't settled, so the ST still hasn't seen any slippery conditions. I can't blame you for not washing it, I just washed mine this afternoon and my toes were completely numb even though it only took an hour lol.

Well I had a complete fail while washing mine today, foamed it up, then when I was jetting it off the water was freezing on the car.

So at present I still have a slightly foamy frozen car haha. Silly me!

Haha! I think I'll wait till the weather is a bit warmer before I wash her, or persuade the boyfriend to do it! I've heard some mixed opinions on the foamy stuff, does it work well? I'm tempted to buy some and a jet wash just because it looks fun ;)

I got the autobrite snow foam lance and ph neutraliser liquid but dosnt work as well as I hoped. But I'm just using it as a pre wash now before sponge washing and polishing anyway.
