Now the proud owner of a Fiesta ST !!

Hey everyone - thought I'd introduce myself on the forum as a new user.

Managed to get my hands on a diamond white ST with the blue stripes over the car and happier than a pig in s**t at the moment. I had no idea how fun these cars were until this one caught my eye!!

Spec - Standard ST pre facelift with 24,000 miles on the clock - just a few minor bits to sort to make it prefect (wheel refurb and small parking dent to get shot of)

Living in Dorset so not many of the Fiesta ST's about down this way

Now.....I'm thinking about getting the Blue door stripes too, will this be too much ???? Opinions please

H47PER Registered: 23/11/09 Posts: 4599 Loc: sheffield	I think he means too much in your face and no it won't be, side stripes are a must. There's a split in the forum between stripes/no stripes and facelift/pre facelift, so expect many comments on that. I'd keep the OTT stripes AND get the side stripes. They make the st stand out. White is my fav colour but I only realized that after buying a blue one, but I love my st too much to swap. _________________________ Chuck Norris is never late, the world is just early!!

Kev Registered: 01/03/06 Posts: 10490 Loc: Birmingham, UK.	Quote: didnt know they wouldnt match it kev. thought they mite colour match it tho with trial and error?? No Harper, speaking with Dave, (DMB), he said that the computer programme he has to use for his vinyl printers will not get the Blue match without the colour code. I suppose trial and error on Vinyl for a handful of owners is just not worth the waste of £'s in material. _________________________

Browner Registered: 28/02/11 Posts: 17 Loc: North Dorset	thats what i'm thinking...especially when the missus drives the car (she manages to twist my arm quite easily ) I can see that kerbing black wheels will stand out big style. White on white or silver is the way forward I think ?! _________________________ Diamond White ST
