Got my MR badge through from Mountune. They'd run out and had the MR230 completed at the start of March. It's all official with a badge!

Was tempted to take the Performance one off and just have the Racing one but wanted to look like how Mountune themselves have done it...albeit i've made my left justified to follow lines of the boot shut and the slant of the letter T. Also looks like they've updated the design of the badge and it's no longer slanted but rather rectangular.

Still loving it, never gets old and is the right amount of power for the roads down here. Still on track to hopefully have an LSD fitted around the end of the year or early next year. Tempted to grab my old O.Z. Superturismo out the garage and refurb them.

How does the car currently handle the power? There is a blue ST-2 for sale close to me with 12k miles for 11.5k. I'm tempted to pick it up and get the MR230 installed.

Looks nice that!

Be half tempted to spray the wheels anthracite and give the callipers a lick of red paint. Enjoy!

It's absolutely fine. I have ContiSportContact 5 all round and they're great. The stage 2 just opens the car up to be more revvy like an NA car and pulls all the way to the raised redline. Other mods like a roll restrictor are a necessity though if you want anything more than stage 1.

Took the car up to the local airfield and rented an hour to try and find the limit. Ended up testing some lift off oversteer and everything was really controlled and progressive. I rate stage 2 much higher than stage 1.

I'm even more tempted to get it now! There is a pro Ford dealer that is around 18 miles away from me I'm hoping they'd be able to install the stage 2 kit should I go for the fiesta ST.

Check out on Mountune to see if they're a Mountune Pro Dealer. Had the cam timing done at Tarnock Garage and they were fantastic!

Spraying the wheels a dark grey tempts. Not black otherwise it's too much. And I feel like I'd need blue calipers to match the interior otherwise the ocd would eat me but I've read about spraying calipers is pretty bad and comes off easily.

Looks nice mate they're great little motors and cheap as chips to run, apart from potential gearbox explosions they're solid.

First things first swap the rubber gaiter for a leather one.

Looks nice that, not many clean standard mk6's about these days!

Looking at this, http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201606164980135

Is the price realistic? What should I aim to pay?

Comes up add expired mate.

The seats in that look awful

Janesy B · 17 Jun 2016 at 22:09

I prefer the black and red ones but they weren't an option on Spirit Blue cars though. Really comfortable, which makes up for it.

lee1101 · 18 Jun 2016 at 19:37

Already posted a few in show us your motors but I'll add a couple here too

Janesy B · 20 Jun 2016 at 10:08

Best colour

How did you get on with sorting the niggles?

I have the same seats in mine and they look great.

Not great! They said everything is normal.

To be fair the vibration is very light and may just be me being a bit OTT. I only really notice it when I'm thinking about it.

The only thing that's left that bothers me a little is the slight notch in the steering at low speeds. I'll take it back in when I've got some time off but for now I'm just going to enjoy it!
