MattyP97 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just starting this to see what sort of appearance mods people would recommend putting on the black edition, only seen forums about the red editions. Currently already changed: Footwell lights Air filter Wind deflectors Will purchase the gel overlays for the badges on pay day, does anyone have my recommendations about what is the best lights to put onto the car as would like to change those and any other suggestions people have would be great. I know I sound hopeless haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanna do the headlights but I just wondered what sort of set everyone would recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lanc Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Has the 'black edition' got nice pedal covers already fitted ? I've got some genuine ford SS covers and look the beans but the small round rubbers are wearing on the lower edge, so might be changing them very soon. These are lovely! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282289725387?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look smart though! Got a photo of them on your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny|92 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Red dust caps and a thin red pinstripe on the wind deflectors are 2 nice easy things to do. Done them on mine and think they look pretty good. Probably going to tint the light housings on the wing mirrors at some point too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read your thread before but can't remember if you said you had changed your lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny|92 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yes, the rear lights have been changed however the car already had them done when I bought it so I can't tell you what make they are or where to get them unfortunately. I have searched around but can't seem to find many other people with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyP97 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 @Danny|92 No worries mate I'll see if I can find some on the internet and have a search around. I like the pinstripe on the rear bumper, brings it to life a lot more, considering doing in on my black edition as it would fit in well with the other bits of red detailing on the car.

I liked it as well, was a nice little touch however I need to find a more permanent way of doing it as the tape I used has fallen off twice meaning I've had to re-apply it a few times. I went to a meet last night and there was a black edition with the lower part of the diffuser fully wrapped in red, looked quite good so I'm thinking of doing it that way to my red edition. Maybe not all the way across like this though, more like the one in this Instagram post: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where abouts was the meet you went to? Although I think if you did get yours wrapped it would look better because obviously your cars red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was my one hesitation as well when I saw it, fingers crossed it will look better if it matches the body colour. The meet was at the Maybird Shopping Centre in Stratford-Upon-Avon. Hosted by "All Mods". They do them every month I think, next one should be April 23rd. As far as I know they are always in Stratford.

Danny|92 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 No Black Edition threads that immediately spring to mind, but in terms of a mk7.5 fiesta in general I'd recommend taking a look at @Tom-B64's build thread. Plenty of ideas to take away from that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyP97 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'll have a look, I briefly flicked through it when I first joined here, if I remember correctly he changed the bulbs on his, will see if I can find on there which bulbs he switched them all too! Finally managed to have someone at home today so my wind deflectors could be signed for so got them on now! S badges and dust caps in the post as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ordered metal dust caps remember to lubricate them before putting them on otherwise they might seize on and be a nightmare to get off. I went with metal in the first place and somebody on here told me that, in the end I just decided to get some plastic ones instead and not worry about it.

Yeah I saw about the metal ones on your thread so I ordered plastic! Could've been bad if we hadn't of found out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
