Hey everyone , this is my first proper post on hear and i was wondering if anyone could help out...
ive just brought a 2006 fiesta st in performance blue(no stripes unfortunatly) and was wondering if you had any ideas as to what i could do to it. Money aint really a issue if its a nice bit of kit but i have so many ideas of what i want to do but dont know where to start .
Any ideas will be a great help .

well nice engine noise - K&N 57i induction kit (£75 brand new)

look at my pictures that I put up today in "Forecourt" the post is called "new wheels as promised" thats my car Performance Blue, Anthracite wheels and full stripes looks very aggressive without looking like a halfords replica lol

Cheers mate! Another thing you can notice in those pics is that we have sprayed our plastics black rather than ford grey lol And another nice suttle mod is we have painted our calipers Red.

im looking at custom paitwork ... is it a good idea or not . i mean the ST draws enough attention as it is, and i notice none of you have done it. I love the ST as it is ,but i want mine to be unique in sum way

Well, we did the plastics, but if you want to be unique, try getting some custom stripes made? Dave at DMB Graphics will make you some stripes in any colour. There is also the wheels that can be done. You can go anywhere with an ST and an imagination! And money of course lol

money no issue? supercharge it!

Otherwise, K&N and full exhaust system (Milltek would be my choice).

That'll free it up a lot

Was thinking of haveing a cd/dvd/sat nav system installed instead of the standard cd player.

lmao yeah but itll be more noticeable when u have it done compared to if i have it done now wont it, caue i havent had a chance to drive it properly yet so when ive had it a while ill get it supercharged and then ill feel the diffrence more . i seen some white alloys with a blue ring around it on a web site for about £500 do they look good do you think without the white strpes or would be best getting the stripes aswell.

Stripes aren't everything, do what you want on your cosmetics dude!
Those wheels would be cool without stripes or with. Try painting your wheels? Coat them in gloss or something?
I've got a U-Stripe because stripe kits aren't my cup of tea on a black
and my U-Stripe is unique because it's lower down on my car than the 500's one...



Stripes do look good on a blue one though!

get some flaps first otherwise your nicy stripes will get chipped.

If I change my stripe colour in the future I might get the extra big ones, each stripe is the same size as both the original ones

Cant find a pic at the mo, but I seen em on a pic in a mag for pumaspeed I think
