Found this car on eBay. It is a Titanium but with Studio/Style headlights.

It's an early car so maybe a mistake in the factory?

Are they different on the Zetec and Titanium then?

Yeah the Zetec, Zetec S and Titanium have chrome surrounds to the headlights whereas the lower models have black surrounds.

Either it was a factory mistake, someone has changed them or the car has been in a minor shunt and then the lights where replaced they used the wrong ones (although if Ford are the previous owner I doubt it would have been repared badly)

I have sent the bloke on ebay a question asking this! He wont know I already own a Fiesta.... haha

Oh good thinking there pooh - tbh I think a Squeeze with black detailing instead of the chrome might look quick nice (black beltline, black fog surrounds, black headlights)

Well it has been over 8 weeks already . . and still counting!

Well...

I decided on the Fiesta over the new Mk6 VW Golf. Just as well really - because if I walked into a VW dealership today and ordered the 1.4 TSi SE Golf - I wouldn't be able to take delivery until February at the earliest & more likely March. This is due to severe shortages in the new 1.4 turbo-charged engine - which has just won '2009 Engine of the Year' btw - as the VW Group put them in VW's, Seat's and Audi's of course. They simply can't build enough engines to satisfy demand.

My Fiesta is due for delivery in September - having ordered it on the last day of June. I'm hoping that good things really do come to he who waits!

So I sent a message to the man...who has replied simply with "pass" I real like writing back saying "oh well im going to buy a car from someone who's got no clue about it"

Thank goodness I have my beautiful girl sitting on the drive :-)

How bizarre - either he is not letting on or he never checked the spec when he brought it

I am still not convinced that this is not a repaired crashed car

I'm not either...I think he knows perfectly well but doesn't want to let on.

Yeah the Zetec, Zetec S and Titanium have chrome surrounds to the headlights whereas the lower models have black surrounds.

Like you and poohbear say, I reckon this must've had the headlamps replaced after some sort of accident - it seems too big a mistake for Ford themselves to have made whilst building it or repairing it. It certainly seems to have been built as a Titanium (on 28 October 2008) going by the feature count on Etis. Not only are those headlamps different-looking than the ones standard for the Titanium, Zetec S and Zetec, they're also intentionally less powerful, being ordinary reflectors, not projector units.

Also, I think you would say, I'm not sure, but I will try and find out for to a customer, not just "pass".

They obviously aren't letting on.

It's a shame because we spotted it (well i didnt but someone did!) but someone who buys it probably wont.

maybe the owner just specified them, i think i would if i was buying one

much prefer the black look on lights rather that reflective/sliver look

The headlights are predetermined by what model you buy - Zetec, ZS or Titanium and you get the projector ones with chrome surrounds - lower models get ordinary lights with the black surrounds.
