Hi All

I'm a completely new ST owner, had mine for about a month now and absolutely love it. Its had some things done to it already = sportex back box, K&N Induction and some subtle things like red painted brake calipers (i assume these arent standard) and its got some ford badge overlays? Fiesta boot badge has been removed etc.... ANYHOW....

I'm looking for a couple of ideas on what I can do to give it a little extra, but nothing that costs a bomb as I really can't afford it.. I was thinking a carbon fibre bonnet wrap? To be lowered 35mm on springs? front splitter/rear difuser? Whats the general opinion on these things? Waste of time? Or can you recommend some other things I can do

Random I know but don't know where to start first or just it as it is

Thanks!

Mel

I would say lower it, front splitter then diffuser job done and then go on to the wrapping

Springs and K&N first things, and as you have the K&N already... SPRINGS
Reckon the Carbon would look class on a silver one, with the diffuser etc

Lowering would be a good start then maybe try some of the things you've mentioned for cosmetic mods

Lower it.

Don't understand these eibach extra lows. Their stupid money. Go on Lo Suspension, they sell 35mm lowering springs for £78 with free P&P with 3 year guarantee. Mate has these and hasn't had a problem.

Great for if your on a budget.

You reckon? I'm undecided. They all have to meet regulations, so I would say they are all the same, could be wrong mind lol.

Best mod I've ever made. I simply love electronics, and wiring that to my car was a bloody awesome day!
