54 Plate Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.4 Upgrades?????

Featured Replies

Hey guys

After deciding to keep my 1.4 ford fiesta zetec I now want to start making look and perform better, I'm talking after-market spoilers, front splitter, alloys, exhaust system etc. However I'm not to sure where to find the RIGHT stuff to go on it, does anyone have a website where I can buy all this fancy after market stuff (ps I'm still undecided on whether or not to make it an ST replica.

Please note the car has already been lowered with red springs and has a sony after market stereo system set up with Bluetooth so that work does not need doing.

Pictures of how the car is NOW are below, please leave any website or places for me to get hold of some stuff I'd like to mod the car with and by all means leave opinions on any ideas you think I should do to make the car look and perform better.

Any advice at all would be much appriciated guys.

Cheers

I think an ST replica sounds like a good idea, but personally if I was in your position I'd save the money and trade up to a MK7 (or a different car).

But if you'd rather keep your car then you could get some ST rims, then a body kit from either ST or Zetec S. As for performance you might stuggle to get much more from the 1.4 without spending a lot of money. You might gain a little from an intake and exhaust upgrade and a better sound too. I don't know if a remap would be worth it though.

Ahh you're lucky, my MK6 had that horrible split head unit.

As others said, try to source an ST replica kit (would recommend a backbox upgrade too if you do that), some alloys. Maybe even a full vinyl wrap. is it me or does the car already look lowered?, and then small stuff like richbrook aerial, LED plate lights etc.

Personally anything thing performance wise on a 1.4 is a waste of money in my opinion. I have a 1.4 fiesta zetec that’s black this is some of the things I’ve done. I've gone for a red/black theme I would recommend black and silver for yours but that entirely up to you.

Things -

Red Callipers, Black Drums

Black Floor Mats with Red Trim

Red Air Vent Rings

Changed gear rubber to leather with red stitching

Red Gear Surround

Double Din Head unit

Carbon Hydro Dipped Stereo Surround

Custom headlights with 6k hids (http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/63136-fiesta-mk6-headlight-hid-retrofit/#entry423029)

Leds all round (interior, number plate, fogs, sidelights and reverse lights)

Led strips for the footwells

Ford projector logo (installed these in my door to project on to the ground)

Black and Red Gel Badges (Front, Back and Steering Wheel)

Gloss Black Grills and Inserts

Colour Matched the Handles, Trim and Mirror Caps

Induction Cone (Only for the sound)

Short Aerial

Debadged (Just the Fiesta and Zetec letters)

ST Alloys in with gel badges for the center caps

This is pretty much what I’ve done and not looking to do much more until I change my car. I know you have already done some of the stuff but should hopefully give you a good idea as when I was looking at ST bumpers and stuff I found them to be pretty expensive and I’ve had to replace my bumper a couple times due to people wanting a close look at the rear end of my car that’s why I decided against getting ST stuff plus it less appealing to thieves.
