Was just on the bay. Some guy was selling them cheap. Messaged him and asked about condition and holders and he said everything was fine so it was a go ahead for me. I'm covered by eBay and Paypal so hopefully it was just a good deal.
Had been checking the bay for weeks for a good deal and this one just came up. Shame 5 door lights go for nothing in comparison to 3 door.
I might have to invest in both facelift lights, I wasn't keen on the fronts as they look to bubbly when I have seen them but they have made a massive difference on your car.
Will have to keep a look out. We mount of money I have chucked into the car, I may as well of got it Mountuned instead lol.

Looking at the picture that Overlag posted with all those STs in it seems to me that its quite dependant on what colour the car is to how much of an impact the facelift lights have on the car.
To me the pre-facelift don't look bad on a red ST for example.
I'm finding it hard to justify throwing money at a Mountune kit with my car being a 55 plate. It's only got 23k on the clock but it's nearly worth the same amount as a mountune.

is the car totally standard? 23k is very low mileage so should gain some value vs something like mine with 59k and 10+ trackdays on the clock.
Id recommend 165 for sure, loads of low down torque for around town, id only recommend 185 if you go on regular trackdays.

When driven normally how are these cars on fuel?
On a unmodified car high 30s is possible, but it's hard work. Keep your stopping to a minimum, keep it under 2500rpm etc it will be fine.
I see my self as a steady driver and do a lot of motorway miles and i am averaging 29MPG.
its not terrible, like all small cars its got very short gearing hence will be running at 4000rpm while "cruising" i bet yours is like 2500? It isnt the most economical 2litre engine either.
However, 29mpg on a near standard Fiesta ST is terrible, i get that with high lift cams and i generally hit 7500rpm a few times a day so... how can a standard fiesta get that? Standard i used to get 35-43mpg!

Guess im not as steady as i think i am.... Suppose i do get bored easily, especially on the motorway
steady is boring though, i got to 33mpg the other day after driving around like a snail for a week. Now at 29mpg after keeping the revs between 5000-7000 for a "drive"
lolwut?
34mpg is quite a bit better than 23mpg...that's a massive difference in miles on a tank.
Also, out of interest, how many miles do people do once the amber fuel light comes on?
