Hey guys 

Had my Fiesta a couple of months now. Got some plans for it (if my wallet lets me) so wanted to start a project thread to keep a track of the mods and let you guys see what I'm up to. Just to warn you I do like a pic or two! 

Had a few mods when I picked it up. Lowered on spax springs, windows tinted (fronts darker then 'maybe they should be' should we say), ripspeed alloys and an aftermarket backbox. 

Here's how it look after I'd picked it up and gave it a quick wash. 





One job that needs sorting is rolling the arches a little as there's abit of rubbing due to the alloys having an ET38 offset and the car sitting nice and low. They do fill the arches nice though! 

The mods so far have all been nice,cheap and cosmetic. Wanted to get going doing bits straight away but with me being off work being daddy and with Christmas accounting for all my pennies I had to start small. 

All about the little details though and IMO make a big difference. 

Silvertec bulbs to complete detangoed look.
From this:


To this:


Colour coded boot lock


Also changed all headlight bulbs to 5000k white lights. Not a great pic but you get the idea.


Smooth rear wiper


DMB overlays


Team HEKO wind deflectors


Changed STOC window stickers for FFST.co.uk. Much better!


My personal favourite as I missed it after having the Mondeo and driving my other halfs BMW is this little beauty! Gotta love an armrest!


After a good wash and polish here's how it looks now. Minus side stripes.







Have painted calipers Marine blue and sprayed fog rings performance blue. Pics to follow as weather has been rubbish! 

Next up:
Plastics Gloss Black
Wheels Gloss Black
K&N 57i
4 fin Rear Diffuser
Triple R Splitter
OMP Strut Brace
Fly eyes on front and rear lights
Not in that order but still a few bits to do.Probably some other bits I can't think of right now.

Armrest one of my best mods so far

Looks good mate, subtle touches all add up to a tidy motor

If no one in passenger seat, over and under, if people are then you can get your hand under from driver side, just more awkward, I don't notice mine anymore

Lifting the handbrake from over the armrest is just second nature now. But the whole armrest does lift up out of the way.

Easy peasy now I'm an expert! Small price to pay for the luxury of an armrest.
