laumk7 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I picked my new car up yesterday, it's had a few minor mods already carried out - White wheels, St bumper, illuminated gear knob (to compliment ambient lighting - and it really does!). I also had a few of the factory boxes ticked - full leather interior, dress up kit, etc She's a fiesta titanium x 125 and my first ever brand new car - been waiting a while for her - nearly 4 months!

BigDaveZS125 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Putting a ZS honeycomb grille on would be a good mod too :) Sent from my iPad using Ford OC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Zs Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Set of Eibach springs to set her a wee bit lower would be nice! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laumk7 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 You know, I like all the chrome bits tbbh, in fact I've even bought some more chromed bits too add on - like number plate surround for the rear Lowering though, I'm in two minds about that one..

Rogue2 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 A bit of advice for the numberplate surrounds, take them off & clean behind them regularly to prevent a built up of gunk. I had some on a previous car & when I took them off to sell the car there was a large build up of thick black gunk (& was a pain to shift too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisroberson99 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Chrome looks nice. Overall a nice car! Sorry but hate the wheels, reminded me of a badly modded 20 year old Corsa, sorry. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laumk7 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'm waiting for a nice day with it and I'll 'armour' up the wheels with sealant, worked well on the last car, so I don't see this one being any different, using a better recommended sealant this time around though, last time took an hour per wheel to seal! :o White for the bodywork is quite easy to keep clean, like silver it has to be utterly filthy before it shows up as dirty I found, especially with the last one x Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laumk7 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Last time round I used poorboys pink wheel sealant, this time around I'm going to use gtechniq c5 wheel armour (with poorboys on top). Made cleaning them a piece of p Need a nice long clear day to do it though, as said last time with 5spoke zetec alloys it took an hour per wheel to buff - though I think I might've put it on a bit thick tbbh, this time around it's going to be even longer I swear, spesh with 12 spokes :o Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
