Hi guys n gals.
Just found - and now registered to the forum. And what a great forum it is.
Well having scoured the web for the best deal on an ST, I now just have the dilemma of choosing which colour!!
What is the general opinion?
Blue, Red and White get big shout outs, but not much mention of Silver?
Is it just personal choice? or is there a rule to the best ST colour???

Lets put it to the vote...

Speak to you all soon.
Thanks and a big hello!
Steve

I've obviously voted for red (since that what mine is), but to be honest I think the looks good in any of the colours and if I were you I'd simply go for whichever you personally think looks the best. Let us know which you decide to get! _________________________

STifler Fiesta Nutter Registered: 21/08/06 Posts: 1451 Loc: Warwickshire	Hi Steve welcome to the forum i went for the white as it looked old skool and it was a bit different although you dont see many silver ones either and startin to like it in silver just down to personal preference really mate. Think goin by your company name it would probably be better to go for the red hope you enjoy the site _________________________ Frozen white Fiesta ST you see this name you think dirty

Richt Fiesta Fan Registered: 11/01/06 Posts: 247 Loc: M1, Junction 26	Hi Steve and welcome to the site mate. I went for P Blue but must say that the white has grown on me in the last year. Live down the road from you in Kimberley. Scary

Redcar n00b Registered: 15/11/06 Posts: 35 Loc: Ilkeston, Derbyshire	Ayup Richt! Kimberley eh, know it kinda wellish! go Sainsburys for petrol often enough, not as much as you though I bet LOL! Well I have actually decided against the ST - for now! Drove one yesterday for 30 mins on all roads, and wasnt impressed! How dare I say that on here!!! Got to be honest with myself though. They look the dogs, but looks are not enough to make me buy a car. I think they serve a purpose for a particular requirement, in which case I understand. But to have a car run car - ie ST, just makes no sense! The kids would get to school quick though!!!! Naffed off now though, as not sure what to get. I dearly wanted an ST! even arranged to buy one in Essex next week.

ben_st Registered: 02/10/05 Posts: 1957 Loc: Gatwick, UK	I think it has to be a choice of blue (not striped or just sides) or the white (fully striped). However with the white one you will always be seen by some as being a chav and have the risk of it looking tacky (in some peoples opinion). I am currently waiting to swap my plain blue for a side striped blue, so you can guess my preference

neila Fiesta Mad Registered: 15/05/06 Posts: 360 Loc: cornwall	The ST looks great in any colour, but like scotty said it down to personal taste mines red with full stripes,my second choice would be white.Not that fond of black nothing against the colour just a pain to keep clean.I had a silver car once it always looked clean,so if you want a car that looks clean all the time silvers the colour.

Richie Fiesta Crazy Registered: 16/09/06 Posts: 560 Loc: Manchester / Essex	Went for blue (as thats what I have) but have to agree, it looks good in all colours, ive seen a red with the privacy glass that looks the dogs and silvers a fav as well

steve1981 Fiesta Nutter Registered: 26/09/06 Posts: 1287 Loc: Cambs	Id say if you want stripes, red does look the best but the white and blue also look with stripes too If you're not into stripes, then I think Performance blue is the best. I personally think silver and black don't suit the ST's image but thats just my view _________________________ Eco-warrior
