ashjames97 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just joined the forum after browsing the past few weeks for ideas etc and finally got my fiesta last week after waiting since passing my test December! Went for a 3 door zetec in black with the 100ps ecoboost engine and Nav. Plenty for my first car! Decided I wanted to do some cosmetic mods just to make it look abit nicer and I'm very much into my detailing, so started with a good clean yesterday using a autoglym set with SRP and EGP. Then decided to start little mods so started by a full LED interior bulb change, all white and also changed number plate bulbs to LED. then ordered some team heko deflectors off amazon and stupidly without noticing ordered 5 door deflectors that come as just a 2pc just for the fronts so they're too short! In the process of returning them but have ordered some correct ones and they're coming today or tomorrow! car isn't the zetec s but I didn't like just the painted metal door sills so bought the 's' kick plates from Lockwood, fitted them this morning! And that's it for now! As I say, waiting for the deflectors then will get them fitted and got some other ideas such as headlight bulb upgrade, definitely a debadge, tints, plasti dip wheels and maybe lowering springs... let me know any ideas and what you think!

ashjames97 Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 got round to fitting the wind deflectors the other day: hopefully get the debadge done tomorrow or the day after, wd40 work for removing the left over glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny|92 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 You should re-upload the images in your original post. A project thread isn't much good without any pictures to look at :D In terms of ideas, what about de-chroming the silver trim and wheels and going for a stealth look? :) Could be cool.

Think the images all up now? Trying go get used to the forum/photobucket haha. Yeah did think of dechroming but wasn't sure what method, either plastidip or maybe vinyl tape? Probably will go for black plastidip on wheels at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny|92 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Some of them are but not all, you can upload images straight to your posts without using Photobucket or other sharing sites :) Works much better! Not too sure which method, being the cheap skate I am I'd go whichever the cheapest was Interior lights look good by the way, nice and bright! I've only changed my foot well lights, need to do the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashjames97 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Finally done the debadge today, was suprisingly easy! Think it looks way better now too Then Gave the car a quick clean using autoglym shampoo and aqua wax so couple photos of that too. Plan on ordering some gel domed plates this week too just as a extra touch but still got the dent in my tailgate to sort :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashjames97 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Got the rear 3 windows tinted 35% today well chuffed with that and also put on the domed gel carbon look plates, wouldn't stick on the rear with the pads so just drilled 2 holes and screwed them on. Starting to Like the rear now just waiting on my flyeye for the tail lights and brake light and will be happy with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashjames97 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Small update. Flyeyed rear lights now, needs a clean tomorrow and got the Zetec s grille ordered. Think going to change headlight bulbs to a brighter option, grille and lower it and be done for a while then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Car looks good - how about detangoing? One of the most effective cheap mods imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashjames97 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 The flyeye isn't too hard, bit tricky round the curves of the rear light but stretches out easy enough with hair dryer. Have thought about detangoing just not sure what bulbs I need etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashjames97 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Update for today, finally got the black carbon tape on the chrome window trim and some black gel overlays on the badges! 👍👍 In desperate need of a clean now 😩 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
