They're currently stuck to the inside of the wing/chassis area with No nails tape as I ran out of time when I put them in! Haha

Don't want to start creating holes etc as the car needs to be handed back after 3 years, is there anyway to change the dipped beam lights without all this cutting and gluing etc? @GingerFlame 

Does anyone know where I can get a curved exhaust tip? I want don't want to be cutting it to put a straight one on, surely there must be a curved one that fits on directly?

No gluing, just cutting.

You could also cut the originals then pick up some used ones from a scrap yard/eBay? It's only the flexible rubber part. Alternatively you could manipulate the ballast in to the headlight if you're lucky but I wouldn't personally as there isn't much room unlike my last fiesta.

Or, you could cut a small Nick out of the corner of the rubber, and you'll notice there is a slot in the plastic ring on the headlight that it fits into. Run the cable through this gap. Then when you hand it back, rotate the rubber cover and nobody has a clue but you!

You'll struggle with that one unless you contact somebody who does custom exhausts. To be honest Ford wont be bothered about you cutting the tip off it to fit a stainless one. it'll improve the looks & in their eyes make it more saleable, and that's if they even notice

How easy to cut? Just use a small hack saw?...Would it not void warranty or anything like that

Pretty sure someone on here has fitted a curved double pipe to the end of the exhaust that they bought

It's rubber.. use a Stanley knife around a £2 coin

It won't void the warranty as its a replaceable part.. the rubber pulls off when you need to change a bulb. If you have issues then remove the HIDs and refit a non-modified rubber cover

From what I've seen most people cut the curved part of the exhaust off.. I was going to but the whole things being replaced so it's a waste of time

Ah sorry mate! Long day Hahahaha

Yeah a decent hacksaw will do it although an angle grinder would be much more fun & faster

No worries mate hahaha. Probably will just use a saw, i take it i wont need to cut any of the back bumper, last time i looked it seemed as if there was enough room for a twin exhaust.

Should be plenty of room if you're going for a tasteful one ;) haha

Red Edition Project

Hi folks. I recently purchased a 1L Fiesta Red Edition, love it, great wee car. 

Looking to do some small modifications to it, happy to take some ideas and suggestions. 

So far Ive done the following:

Heko Wind deflectors 

Upgraded all the interiors bulbs to red ones

Upgraded the air filter. 

Had the Eco Boost badge removed (still undecided about removing the fiesta badge)

Things I want to do:

Change the front and back badge to red and black and also the middle badges on the rims DONE

Possibly change the mats to all red with black trim rather than black with red trim? Considering

Some kind of exterior light upgrade (suggestions please) Still not got round to this.

Also change the aerial to a smaller stumpy one (links/suggestions please) DONE

Hi all,

Back to this now. So I've done a few things now but now considering more engine type upgrades. 

Was thinking some air intake upgrades and maybe some spring upgrades/lowering it? 

If anyone has suggestions, fire away

 

Air intake I'd go Auto Specialists induction kit with all the hoses and pipes.

Springs I'd definitely Eibach Redlines!

Mountune doesn't affect warranty, thats why i would be inclined to go with them

Yea you've gotta be careful with that though, I think you have to get a Ford garage to fit it and keep ALL of the receipts. I've heard of someone who fitted it himself and didn't have the receipts and they told him that it's voided his warranty now.

Oh right, I never knew that, that's interesting to know
