Think the splitter is next on my list. Makes the front look so much more well...meaty!

Got my splitter being made by this guy:

Bit different from the RS splitter ( sticks out more), But it is a perfect fit with out having to cut it down.

Got the obligatory "scene" wind deflectors. Also, is that a chrome lip to your grill? Looks good on the black. Like!

Thanks

I got my splitter from mikemotorsport on fiestastoc.

Round the grill is a white vinyl and then a carbon bonnet lip on top

I have the bonnet lip on mine. Just the plain black vinyl one. I like them a lot.

I think the Armster armrest is probably one of the best mods I've done so far though. I definitely recommend it.

My mum has just bought a Fiesta T-100. Apparantly only 10 are being produced. Going to have a look and a drive this weekend as tbh I really don't have a clue what it is....

£16k for a fiesta :eek:

I forgot to say that a few months back a bolt was found in my rear left pad and look at what it did to it.

Why is it taking so long for the Fiesta ST successor?

Seeing these pics makes me want the side stripes for mine, currently just plain black and i had the windows tinted yesterday so looks really black.
Next plan is black wheels so i want the stripes just the break it down a little bit, but i'm quite liking the idea of red stripes and maybe the st500 bonnet decal in red. just not sure yet.

WOW I can't believe that with the bolt!

It is getting ridiculous now. I keep checking every week or so as i want to see the absolute final look of the 2012 Fiesta ST and more importantly, how much it will cost.

They have shown the new Focus ST, which in my opinion, looks **** and no where as good looking at the current Focus ST.

DAnDan · 21 Aug 2011 at 17:55

Has anyone had any parts of the ST resprayed before? Looks like I might need to get my bonnet resprayed as it's got some scratches which are annoying me more and more (not sure where they're from though, lots of thin ones). Any idea how much I will be looking at paying to get this done well?

The car is performance blue, I'm not sure how much hassle this will be with matching the colour, but I can't imagine it to be too bad?

Are you fitting them yourself Pug106? It's really not that difficult tbh!

Adjusting is even easier, infact I managed to do the fronts with the wheels left on, just jack the car up slightly increasing the gap between the tyre and the arch and stick your hands in to start adjusting

Nope garage are doing it for 100 quid, glad to hear the adjustment is easy im sure i'll be fine at doing that

Logsi · 21 Aug 2011 at 21:16

Sprayed my wheels with plastidip now to take my mind off of the centre caps.

Looks alright in black but i think i need more trim bits done black and maybe rear tints to make them suit the car more and lowered!

Logsi · 21 Aug 2011 at 21:24

Picture added. Definitely need something up top with black like a vinyl roof wrap or tints in my opinion.

Shame about the glaring setting sun.

Looks good, always loved the black on white colour combo.

For your next round of budget mods, pick from the following:

Shortened aerial (free)
Lose the 'Fiesta' text on the boot for a cleaner look (free)
Tints (shouldn't be silly money)
Gloss black or carbon mirrors (as above)
Boot lock bezel cover (about a tenner off ebay)
Paint your washer jets (cheap to DIY)
Gloss black/smoothed door edge b pillar trims (not so common and fairly expensive but looks so smart imo on a car with tints)

I've done all these to my car, cheapest mods but all add to the look imho! And doing little bits and pieces mean you don't get so bored whilst saving for power mods either

Couple of those i'm going to add to the list.

I like the aerial, i used to have a shortened one on my old Zetec and i replaced it back to the normal length. I also photoshopped the Fiesta off the boot and prefer it with.

The boot lock is a good one. Does stand out when you think about it. Same goes with the washer jets.

Lowering and then tints are next! Get the tints done professionally or buy them and do it myself?

EDIT - P.S. Still undecided about facelift lights and whether to bother and also, how do you find 16" rims? Acceleration better?

I just bought a LSD for £475

Logsi · 21 Aug 2011 at 23:09

Jealous!

After London and South East's monthly FiestaSTOC meet i decided to take some photos in my favourite spot. Hope you like. Yes i could do with a good polish

Yes new Team Dynamics 1.2s in Silver, not black like everyone else
