Strange question, do these have lights for the vanity mirrors? :p

is this so you can do your make-up? :D

gel stickers are on, mine didn't come with any instructions :confused:
anyway, got them on. not sure if i like them tbh.
they were only a temporary measure to see if it sorted my abysmal looking ford badges.
the badges on my car look really tatty, these have made them look better but I'm not sure if I should have just got some new ford OEM badges.

[excuse the dirty car. its an insect graveyard after the mission to Silverstone this weekend and I haven't had a chance to clean it]

rjkoneill, It looks better in my opinion. But i prefer different. Took me a while to get use to mine but i love my new badges now.

Think you need a new badge though, as i can guess that you do a lot of motorway mileage like me, so suffer with bad stone chips :(

ST badge looking smart ;)

Hopefully we have a bit of sun tomorrow as i have the day off. So once i have gone to see little one at his sports day i should be able to go home and spend a bit of time on the car. Cleaning the throttle body is what im wanting to get round to the most.

Remember guys to clean your throttle body every so often. Especially if you are experiencing any juddering when idle.

You had the same issue as me with the marks around the chrome part.

I'm playing with the idea of painting the whole original badge black to match the red and black theme, then putting some DMB overlays ontop.

Might work and look decent, might not :p

That's what I'm going to try with mine...going to plastidip all the badges black then put gel overlays on. Will do the st badge black as well, with red vinyl insert...

Well took out the throttle body and gave it a good clean today.

Was completely black, full of oil and muck ect. But looking new again :)

This is not suspicious in anyway.

Its not?

Guessing its just some random person who as just put there car up for sale and typed Fiesta ST into google and posted it everywhere possible.

I would prob do same if i was in a rush to sell.

Seems a reasonable price for someone looking for a black ST with good mileage. Just sell the awful alloys and get some proper ST ones, if anyone does decide to buy it.

Mentioning that it's not Cat C or D is a bit odd.

You wouldn't advertise your car as 'Never crashed!' a bike perhaps 'Never Dropped' but not 'Never Crashed' for a car. I'd expect to be told if it were Cat C/D as the HPI check should show that anyway. That and I'd give it a bloody good look over too.
