Just thought I would say hi! I became a member about 9 months ago but have only recently became active.

I bought my first Fiesta ST just over 2 weeks ago, and absolutely love it! It's a 2008 in Frozen White.

I will be purchasing membership within the next couple of days!

So far I have done:
    Lowered on Eibach Extra Low -35mm Springs (45-50mm total)
    Painted Calipers (Smooth Red)
    De-Tango'd
    Xenon replacement bulbs
    SMD side lights/interior lights/number plate lights
    Silvatec front/side & rear indicator bulbs
    Team Heko wind deflectors
    DMB badges (white with black text)
    Front ST badge (bolt through the grill version)
    Boot lock cover
    Smooth aero wipers (front & back)
    Shortened Ariel
    ST tax disc holder


Still to do:
    Plastics sprayed gloss black (2 front grills, fog surrounds (Frozen White Rings), rear diffuser & reflector surrounds)
    Headlights split and sprayed gloss black with Frozen White rings (If I ever get the courage to split them!)
    Triple R Composites splitter
    Triple R Composites bonnet lip(?)
    Rear window tints
    Wrap the roof gloss black
    Powder coat wheels gloss black


Once I am happy with how the car looks on the outside, I plan on getting a K&N 57i and start looking at cat back exhausts etc.

Any other members in the Shirley/Solihull area?

Can anyone recommend anywhere to get my plastics 'professionally' sprayed?

Cheers,
Adam.

Welcome Adam. As for your plastics, some people have done theirs themselves with good results. There will be guides on here you can look at once you're a member.
