Hi, all just thought I'd introduce myself, I've owned my 05 Fiesta ST for roughly 8 weeks now and being an old boy (41) it's made driving fun again. Coming from a Citroen van to my ST the power is something of a eye opener, has nearly caught me out once or twice, mostly on corners/roundabouts in the rain, but hey nearly dying let's you know your alive! I will try to get some pic's up soon, but I first have to replace the four centre cap's that some scumbag nicked last night  , I suppose that's what I get for having a midlife crisis and treating myself. Bye for now Matt

Hi, Josh92 here is a little more about my ST, it's a 05 in white with red side decals, 70,000 on the clock, un-moded, but that might change! I bought it of a family member for £2600, as it has some damage and no service history, the damage is only slight, front bumber cracked and a/c rad broken, had a full service done cost £420.00 due to knackered water pump.
Cheers
Matt

Hi, krAwl, as for mods I'm thinking of doing my plastics, I've already changed my head unit for one that allows me to play my ipod, as mines a pre facelift this meant buying a S/H fascia and cutting the ribs out, turned into a bit of a nightmare.
I did change my interior lighting to stealth red, but the law were not amused after my daughter was using it whilst I was driving, got told to change it back to white as it was a distraction to other road users, luckly had the white bulb with me so did'nt get a producer.
If I get my arse in gear I should be able to get my ST looking better so that I don't feel ashamed to bring it to FF.
Cheers
Interior light in red is perfectly legal if you use it while stationary. Just use the map reading lights if you want to see stuff lol and theyre yellow :P
Plastics are a must fella, get it done
If and you totally should, come to ff and get LOADS of ideas from everyone elses car.
