WillKinsella Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 So I haven't been a member long, but I think the time is right to start my own build thread after looking at some of yours guys awesome looking cars!聽 I have a 16plate Fiesta zetec s 1.0L ecoboost that I bought in August, picture below!聽 So far I am very impressed with the little 1.0L! Anyway, I new when I bought the car that I wanted to add some mods and make it my own every way possible.聽 first thing I bought for the car was some climair wind deflectors. In my opinion a great add to the car, looks the part and practical too. I then bought some Lockwood door sill protectors. They come with a 'S' in the middle and again look awesome. I also bought an red S badge for the front grill. I聽then decided that I wanted a triple R front splitter, and lucky for me someone was selling one in my area for 拢80 so I decided to buy it. Before fitting I wasn't to sure about how it would look, but now that it's on I am very pleased I decided to go ahead with it! Picture below. The picture above is from a week or two back and since then have changed then horrible orange indicator lights for some chrome ones as well as upgrading the dipped beam to HIDs, both from autobeam.co.uk very pleased with both and I'll grab a picture when I can. Today I have also bought an induction kit along with the primary and secondary hoses from autospeicalistuk, these should come next week and will be fitted at the weekend, I'll add some pictures of the engine bay once fitted. I have also arranged to buy a reset bluefin device from Taeasz a fellow member on here. So I should have that bought and fitted in the next couple of weeks! And it's safe to say I am very excited to see how it transforms the car!聽 Last but not least, i have changed the footwell lights inside the car to red, and have also changed the number plate lights on the back.聽 Thats all my car has to offer so far, but I have plenty more planned over the next few months so watch this thread for updates!聽 Next things on the list聽 *eibach redline lowering springs (30-35mm drop) *eibach pro spacer kit (15mm each side) *Triple R side splitters *Black sun strip *Rear window and two back side windows tinted black Open to any suggestions and feel free to give your opionions!聽 Cheers for having a read 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iam2deck Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Welcome to the forums! Really nice colour on this model don't see many about. The changes sound good so far and the splitter works well :) I also had a Fiesta Ecoboost at the start of the year, and have quite a big build thread on here as well, you may have seen it I don't know but here is the link 聽 If you head to page 3, I also had some Eibach redline springs on ready for Ford Fair this year. They were absolutely spot on, dropped the car perfectly on 17 inch wheels, looked a lot more sporty and I honestly felt no loss of comfort what so ever, the handling also seemed better. I would thoroughly recommend them for springs if you were interested, they will probably sit even nicer with the spacers. Goodluck with your project 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillKinsella Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 I have indeed looked through yours and was very impressed with what you done to your car. I am also looking through your new one for your black focus ST and I love the focus ST. I think that's what I want to go for next, all black. And cheers, yeah when I was buying the car I hadn't seen that colour before so I thought it's a must.聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillKinsella Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 So the primary and secondary hoses came from AS today along with their induction kit! Managed to get the two hoses fitted before it started to chuck it down. Induction kit will be getting fitted after work tomorrow hopefully but here how the hoses look!聽 Real easy to fit, took about 10minutes. Only tool needed was a flat head screw driver. Engine bay starting to come along nicely when I get the induction kit in, and looking to purchase the AS chrome cross over pipe as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillKinsella Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 So managed to get the induction kit in tonight! I think it looks awesome coupled with the blue hoses! Can't wait to get the crossover pipe now!聽 Quick review on it, the noise it makes is epic in my option, I love the let off noise. You get a lot of people turning heads when walking, performance wise I haven't noticed any thing really, throttle response a bit better. Looking to get a cold air feed now just to get as much cold air as possible to the filter, heat shield is in a good position as well so shouldn't be that much of a problem sucking in hot air. Anyway let me know what you think of the bay so far! Also, here's a picture of the headlights with the chrome indicator bulbs instead of the orange ones.聽 Cheers.

WillKinsella Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 So found another mod I want to do very soon! What do you think?聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-B64 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Looks good dude! I wouldn't get anything Maxton as I've heard nothing but bad reviews about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillKinsella Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Funny you say that, my mate ordered a front splitter from there for his corsa and it came and was damaged rather bad. The corner had snapped off so he has emailed them complaining but hasn't heard anything back, so I'm staying clear hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iam2deck Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The induction kits make quite a lot of noise on the fiestas, well worth it! Looks smart and everything so new xD I found the secondary hose gave the most noteable noise loudness difference, the crossover just refined the noise and made it sound better! I've seen those lips in person and in all honesty I wasn't really a fan, for the spoiler I would've got the mountune ones that are no longer being produced! The chrome indicator bulbs are always spot on too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillKinsella Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Yeah I love the sound! And after having a better look, I have went off the spoiler now as well. Getting the crossover to just finish up the engine bay really, eventually going to get the charge pipe upgrade but not in any rush to get them. I have heard about the mountune spoiler but unfortunately for me as you say they have stopped producing them.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4zz Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I think the spoiler lips are a little bit marmite myself as for Maxton design I got my self a front splitter聽for my focus and cant fault the build and had no probs what so ever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillKinsella Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Soooo, my bluefin came today, and oh wow I am impressed! I didn't think it would make that much of a difference but my god it does. If anyone is thinking about buying one, and is on the edge, do it. Buy yourself one. You won't regret it I assure you that! Big thanks to Taeasz for selling me his reset unit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillKinsella Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 few snaps before she's lowered tomorrow! Also, picked up this... hoping to get it done this weekend, when I have a lot of spare time as I can imagine it being very stressful! Should look a lot nicer when the rear window and rear sides are tinted!聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Good luck with the crappy tint lol. I bought like 4m of it for 拢20 from there and it didn't shrink at all. The two side windows are dead easy as they are relatively聽flat, but that back window really does take some skill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard it is quite the struggle. Gonna have to seriously set aside a lot of time and effort to do it. Yeah sides shouldn't be that hard, but as you said heat shrinking the back window is gonna be a struggle. I'm gonna try do the back first so if I can't do it, at least I haven't got the sides on and the back I can't do haha!聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillKinsella Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Finally some snaps of the whip after being lowered! I think it looks awesome! Thoughts? Beside the fact I should have went lower馃檲 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillKinsella Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Also picked up some gel overlays for the front and rear badges. Far nicer than the originals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I think the stance looks spot on. Sporty but not impractical boy racer height! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomson Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Any lower and it would look silly - looking spot on at that height! Any聽difference in drivability? Any increase in road noise / cabin noise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
