This is because they have fitted there own and not oredered the correct ones form Ford. Did you pay factory option price for them to be factory fitted??
If you did and you are not happy, make them change them for proper ones.
Where did you buy your ST from, was it West Brom?? Can't be, probably Vardy, yes?
I live in Tipton keep any eye out!

I'd go back to them and get the right ones put on(if you want them). They prabaly got a cheap set and put them on there to save money. If you got a really good deal on the car maybe its there way of getting some of the money back?

Yes, the Ford supplied ones have the ST logo on the right hand side of the stripe on both sides. Any stripes with it on the left hand side of the stripe are aftermarket made ones.

So you are saying that the majority are after market if theres an ST logo at the front on one side and the rear on the other side,mine are both at the rear so i have ford ones ???

No no no. I prob didn't explain that well there. What I meant was that the Ford ones have the ST logo on the right hand side of the actual stripes themselves, not of the car. I.e. on the drivers side the ST logo is at the front, and on the passenger side the ST logo is on the rear.

Any stripes where the ST logos are both at the front, or both at the rear, are aftermarket ones.

Cheers for that now understood, that means my salesman is telling porkies when he said they were ford stripes and that is what ford had sent them

Yep, that's Vardy's.
Wouldn't give them the steam off my waste products.
Deal with Bristol St in West Brom mate in future, they are spot on!!
It doesn't matter who you bought the car from!

I would definately complain. This is a proper , not a 1.25 LX trying to make it look like an ! Thats what i'd be saying to your bu******g salesman Plus, it will devalue it because either a future salesman will notice or a private buyer will, and these sort of after market extras have to be exactly spot on, no compromise.Get them changed for the proper thing.Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

If they say that is what they are like,look at him in the eye and say "Show me a brochure of an with these type of stripes on!". We all know there is no such . If he continues to blag, ask for the manager ,if he is'nt available which will probably be the case,insist on seeing a senior manager NOW ! set you're standard; your the one paying thousands for this car! Which will be worth a lot less if you accept it.

The fiesta brochure shows some good pictures of the stripes. Get them to have a look in that. They cannot argue with the brochure, if they do its false advertising!! They love it when you hit them with that one!!
