zak.d Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi guys, I've now owned my fiesta for around 6 months and want to make some cheap adjustments to the interior and exterior of my car. I would love some suggestions and links on what I could do. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 plenty of things to do cosmetic wise, head light changes and all round bulb change makes it look better than the candles they put in in the factory, led number plate bulbs look like the dogs gonads, wind deflectors, some like it some dont but debage the rear, interior wise same again LED Bulbs all round and can choose a colour you like too, bit pricey like £50ish but custom or decent mats with trim and colour choice with maybe a logo or something put on it (Halfords do these) cant go wrong with fluffy dice hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak.d Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply. Which bulbs would you recommend for the headlights and numberplate LED's. As for the wind deflectors, i'm not a fan. Definitely going to get some fluffy dice though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 fair enough, head light bulbs are personal preference really so many to choose from i have osram night breakers and light the road a treat. for all bulb fittings heres a link and scroll down to the right list if its mk7 its near the bottom of the top post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-B64 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Have a look through my build thread, it's in my signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lanc Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Be brave and fit a Mondeo sunglasses holder/surround! You've got to be very brave though as you have to cut the head lining and cut up parts from the old surround and fit to the Mondeo surround!!! Usual cost for the surround is about a tenner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak.d Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hi Guys i've started a couple of things on my car, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lanc Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The white square bit around the badge looks a bit odd to me! If your going for the 'sporty look' then the chrome surround has got to go! Is the black just vinyl you've put on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak.d Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Yes it's satin black vinyl I have wrapped on and I was contemplating about the two stripes next to the ford badge I might have a go taking the badge off and redoing it. I have also been thinking of purchasing the zetec s honeycomb grill but just waiting for one to come along at a decent price! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak.d Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm also on the look out for a armrest has anyone got any good recommendations for a cheapish armrest. I have had a look at the armster and boomerang but personally i think its too expensive for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkin Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Alright i'll be blunt, That black stripe is horrible, The two either side of the badge don't match, the right side comes in more than the left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexBartlam Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 the black on bonnet looks good (love a good stripe) but the badge bit could be done all bit of patents could do it justice but end of the day its your car and you can do what you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is your opinion so I respect that, the stripe looks like it comes in more because of the angle of the picture. I personally like the bonnet stripe and as it is my car its going to stay.

Thanks for the feedback mate I might have a go when I get the chance taking the badge off and redoing that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexBartlam Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 yh im in the process of doing blue pin stripes all over (build thread), cant see why it would be difficult pop the badge off and make sure its held on properly after, jobs a good-en. have you thought about body colored water jets would make the stripe stand out bit more without having two black knobbly bits there, im getting some soon.

The pinstripes you've done look class. I didn't think about body coloured water jets but its a great idea where are you getting them from.

lwatson99 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I recommend installing an LED strip in the boot to compensate for the awful built in light. It's easy to do, £15 off of eBay and a 30 minute job maximum. Looks the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
