Taylor22 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Bought my zetec s in July 2015, came as standard with no factory upgrades. First think I did was paint the calipers red, then sprayed wheels black and got the windows tinted. I then got some red bulbs for the footwell and added mats with red trim. Always wanted an armrest so got the armster 2. Then I added a black/chrome overlay and s badge insert to the steering wheel. Then white/black overlays for front and back. In keeping with the black/red theme I've swapped the gear knob cap to black and added black gaiter with red trim. Then some LEDs for the number plate lights. Currently in the process of spraying all interior plastics black, I've got them primed just waiting on the paint and lacquer. Hopefully some new alloys and upgrade all headlight bulbs to a nice crisp white in the near future possibly hid conversion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor22 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thanks! Will look a ton better in the coming weeks once I've got all the exterior mods done. Probably order some new alloys this week. TD pro race 1.2s I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor22 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yea definitely. 16 inch at the minute looks too small hence me looking for new alloys. I did fancy some facelift alloys but they're proving hard to come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good, always like the contrast of white and black, how did you change the gear knob insert? Looking to change mine to black as well.

Taylor22 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Just pops out, it's held in by 6 clips I just got a trim removal tool and stuck it in at the bottom and pulled up. Then the new one you just push in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The s badge for steering wheel was from dmb http://www.dmb.uk.com/prod/1169/fiesta-mk7-s-badge-for-steering-wheel The s boot badge you can find on eBay they're only £4/5 just type in Zetec s badge. 10 hours ago, b4zz said: loving the facelift alloys and look so much better imo Yea the facelifts are 10x better. Love the design and the extra inch makes such a difference, hated the massive gap in the arch which the 17s help to fill. I'm gonna get them powder coated black when I get the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor22 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yea silver is just temporary, I was thinking of spraying them black til I got the funds to powdercoat but black gets dirty really quick and in the current weather silver seems the better option.

cyberbob69 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Can't wait to see what the interior comes out like. Thinking about getting mine sprayed too. Looking good mate..:-) I've just ordered the same gear knob cap. Nice find thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the door handles black but haven't had the time to do the rest, the fact it takes 3 days to do properly leaving time to dry between stages is putting me off getting started. Can't wait til it's finally done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor22 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 A small update. Have sprayed the steering wheel v but I'm yet to do the stereo plastics. I plan on doing them including the unpainted plastic screen surround but really can't find the time to get round to buying more paint and doing it.

Guest Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Looks good mate. Personally think the back looks messy though, I think it would look better badge-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor22 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 I was thinking of de badging actually but can't be bothered at the minute. Will get a lot done this summer when I have the free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
