Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

Seems a good price, like you say £200 for them is just laughable....where are they from?

I'm definitely interested in a set assuming they don't fall apart during the 'testing' phase

Did my plastics today, went for Halfords Satin Black, really pleased with how it turned out

My car is just crying out for rear axle spacers

Put my gel overlays on today. Just didn't think the original blue Ford badges went with the colour scheme I have going.

Getting my plastics done gloss black is next on 'to do' my list.

I've read that it can be quite a tricky job so I've been holding back on doing it.

Plastics look good on yours Shaun.

It's really easy, the hardest part is getting the light cluster out of the car. Once you've got it out it's just about having patience

Thanks!

Things I think'd look great on your would be boot lock cover, debranded reg plates and that sticker gone from rear window.

Time for me to look stupid

I had thought I got a boot lock cover when buying the car, however I am still able to put my key in it so guess that was something else? I have something like this

What would be the best way to get debranded reg plates? Just request new ones through the DVLA with the same registration number? I had been looking at getting personalised plates but that was a 'long term' aim.

Good point about the sticker in rear window, will look to take that off tomorrow.

That's exactly the same cover I bought, it takes just seconds to fit as it already has an adhesive pad on the inside, just peel the paper and stick. And yes the key still works absolutely fine with that one.

To get debranded plates just go to any sign printers and get some knocked up, probably cost around £20 for a set. You might have to take your ID and V5 with you to prove you own the plate and they only take a couple of minutes to make. Halfords make them but they aren't the cheapest, give your local branch a call and ask what you need

I'm a bit confused, so if I have the same as in the link already on the car I already have a boot lock cover or not? :confused:

Thanks for the info about the plates.

Your pic certainly looks like it doesn't have one, if it did then the lock would be more flush with the paint work and not silver/chrome. Like this.... http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo165/fordfiestast_co_uk/Album Two/P1040447.jpg

Just taken this now

So the one I linked to earlier will just go over the top of the one already on?

Will let you know how I get on, they seem to be pretty strong. They tested the rose joints until destruction - https://sites.google.com/site/rndmotorsport231/services/bump-steer-testing

Ok I'll get one ordered then. Thanks for the help and advice

Any plans to put a splitter on yours? It's something I've been thinking about for mine.

shauncr91 · 2 Jun 2012 at 21:22

I've considered it, but I want to see one on a moondust car before getting one. All the ones i've seen are on darker colours like black and blue.

Done 920ish miles in 3.5 days... Cadwell park to watch FiestaST's racing, then the Yorkshire dales and lakedistrict, coming home via the peak district. MEGA!

Liking that first photo Adam.

Had some number plates made for me this afternoon so that they don't have the dealership's name on them. Only paid £19 for the pair but they are just bog standard number plates in that there's no GB markings like on my current ones.

Also removed the window sticker with their name on from the rear window, and a sticker they had stuck on the windscreen.

JamesM · 6 Jun 2012 at 20:40

Why no centre caps Adam!!

For those who are interested the guy who supplied my adjustable drop links has confirmed that he will be selling them for around £65 inc delivery

They will be listed on ebay as soon as he's sorted an advert out for them, look for my car

haha

First thing I done when I bought my car - why would anyone want to drive around giving free advertisements to some random garage?
