Hello all,

I'm new to the Ford scene, spent the last 5 years or so buying and modifying classic mini's in the Surrey area. But after this years cold winter i decided to switch to something more reliable that was still great fun to drive. So i bought a late 2008 performance blue Fiesta

Already started to tinker with it, installed a K&N induction kit and ordered some carbon effect mudflaps from Team Torquesteer. Also added the Liam Doran sticker, being a Rallycross fan Hopefully do a bit more to it in time

Some pics of my car. Basically standard exterior at the moment:





Doran sticker:



I plan on doing a black/ blue theme with it hence the carbon fiber mudflaps. I want to paint the grilles and fog light surrounds black and remove the badge from the front. I also want to put a badge in the front grille, can anyone tell me where you can get them/ how to fix it to the grille?

Fancy changing the alloys too, maybe just get the standard ones powdercoated Panther black, had a quick play on photoshop:



Anyone know roughly how much it would cost to get 4 alloys powdercoated?

Lots of questions i know..... Sorry
