Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

Doubt it, people would pay the same price for the Miltek/Mongoose/Piper second hand. If your worried about loosing money on mods then I wouldn't spend it in the first place, save it for an RS

Out of interest does anyone here have Bluefin installed on their cars? Did you notice much difference with it fitted or is it more a gimmick?

PinkRinse on STOC has it installed and noticed a hell of a difference, iirc.

I heard Dreamscience is the best for Fiesta ST's.

what are peoples opinions on the centre caps, ive took mine off because i lost one.

Im gonna get my wheels refurbed and powder coated in the near future so was wondering if people think i should leave them off or on??

edit/

Any one going to FordFair ???

Well all 4 of mine got stolen and I havent replaced them. They complete the car in my opinion. Gives a better look.

Im not going to FordFair but I am going to Trax.

I like the centre caps. I have gel overlays on mine that match trim and caliper colour so they look pro!

PuG106 · 20 Jul 2011 at 17:37

True, mine are scuffed up as well but there pretty expensive to replace for what they are and if i did get them painted along with the wheels i'd be fuming if someone stole one i'd not only have to replace it but get it sprayed the same as the alloy so im a bit undecided...

I will be at FordFair, on the FiestaSTOC stand, i will also be out on track for the Mountune sessions, and if theres any space, the FiestaSTOC track session.

Center caps i like on, but since ive lost over £150 worth in the last 3 years i leave them under my seat, and only put them on for shows/meets. In total thats about £950-1000 of stuff ive had stolen off my car. Great stuff!

Logsi · 21 Jul 2011 at 00:39

Pretty gutting when you had all the bumpers nicked! :O

Overlag · 21 Jul 2011 at 01:50

And since then, 3 other people i know have hit badgers/fox's or cats that have ruined there front ends too... sucks so much

BD10NNF · 21 Jul 2011 at 09:17

Yeah the centre caps are expensive. Considering its a bit of plastic. Think Ive spent about £100 of replacements. Now cant be bothered even though I only need one to complete the set.

Rybo89 · 21 Jul 2011 at 09:47

Well i ordered a alloy wheel repair kit the other day and it has just arrived this morning. So just been doing a bit of reading on DIY tutorials and they all say it takes 8-10 hours +24 hour wait to do each alloy lol.

Bugger that....

Yeah think i will get a whole new set and get them sprayed when i get the wheels sorted but leave them off unless im going to a show etc.

Im on the FordFiestaSt stand, never been to FordFair before let alone be on a stand cant wait

Does anyone have a parrot bluetooth system fitted to their ST?
Where do you mount the screen part of it, i can't seem to see a sensible place to fit it.
In my dads mondeo he just removed a drinks holder and fitted it at the bottom of the centre console.

Rybo89 · 22 Jul 2011 at 19:43

Don't suppose anyone as seen the difference between red mud flaps and colorado red mud flaps have they?

Red = £60
Colorado red = £100

Yeah, I swapped the position of the silly coin holder and front/rear heated screen buttons then drilled through and mounted the parrot screen on the coin holder.

I'll try and find a pic for you

Took my top badge grill off today and gave it a lick of plastidip. :eek:

I'm moderately happy with the results but the proof is in how long it lasts. I need to do one last coat on it tomorrow as i need to do the back of the grill. I think the trick is to kind of seal the paint round the item you're spraying. It does have a strange texture though on the upper grill, i'm not sure if this is the way i have sprayed it or the underlying texture of the grill or what?

I took some pictures but they were on my phone and haven't come out very well at all. Very hard to expose for the blacks on the car when it's white and a very bright lovely day outside!
