Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

Curbed one of my new alloys today. They have took one the road up in stavely and the grates are sticking out and one has caught my alloy.

Got to say though I am really ready for a change! Just insurance is being a *** on the next car I want...
 
Well over a year ago a trip around Europe was setup on FFST club forum which I jumped on straight away and booked all hotels. Bought stuff for the trip... I paid for a holiday for my mrs and kid so they can go away with her friends and there kids to Majorca at the same time in July.

Well anyway, get a email today just saying "hi mate you will need to cancel your bookings asap so you dont get charged".... Checked the forum straight away and seems they have completely cancelled it because a few members have decided they can't afford it anymore.

****ed off isn't the word for it.

Will have to look into more and do it with just me and a friend. Already had 3weeks holiday booked off for it so may aswell still try do something, especially now mrs will be on holiday....
 
My car is look a wreck at the moment, part of the dash and centre console facia is out ready for a new head unit with iPhone connection and Bluetooth. Cut the bars out and neatly sanded it down.

Just waiting for adapter kit to be delivered. Hopefully be here today.

Had no heating in car since Friday, freezing hell!

Sorry, didn't see this post.

Was mid July to the end of July. Pretty much all over Europe. With the 2 biggest highlights being the Nurburgring and stevilo pass.

Shame they organised something they couldn't afford. Massive blow to me as I have spent so much on it already. I also had trouble with the mate who was suppose to be coming aswell, lost his job and relying on mrs to pay the mortgage and everything as well as owing me a lot of money.

I will do it, just not this year now. Kept my 3weeks off work for July so trying to set up a holiday with my family 1 week and holiday we lads the next.
 
Bought a Alpine unit so started to cut up my dash:

Looks loads tidier than the standard unit and sounds a million times better. Cost £173 for the head unit and £30 for the adapter kit.

Hooked my iPhone 4S up to it and it sounds amazing! Brings the speakers alive!

Yeah get it done, never used any of the key locks on my car.

I might de-badge my boot aswell.

Edit: infact I'm not sure if I have already de-badged it lol.... Will look when I finish work.

I feared the worst, thought someone had damaged your car or nicked your bumper or something! I reckon Overlag thought the same! If only someone would nick your splitter and paint it black or red :D

O no the post would be full of *'s and you would see permabanned under my name if it was a post like that lol.

If I go extra low, splitter will have to come off anyway due to mount everests around here on the roads.

thanks for the reply there dude - have you upgraded your speakers as well? If so what did you opt for? I've been looking at infinity's myself but am still undecided.

Nope still the original speakers and not bothered about changing them as they sound fantastic as they are. Bass is extremely good aswell! Wouldn't believe it but I turned up the volume the other day really high where it was still clear, got out the car and the car was going like a rampant rabbit!

I've been waiting for rude racing to get back to me about these for a week or so, they've only just come back into stock today. Apparently there's very limited supply and they're not going to be in stock again till April/May. Seen a few people talking about them on FFST forums but never been able to source any till today!

I've bought myself a pair :). Hopefully be putting a deposit down on some other bits and pieces tomorrow too.

Yeah a few guys have been waiting. I just hope my insurance ain't to funny about it. Mate said he'll put me them on for £35 :)

Thanks again or the update - just one other quick question please? Does this particular unit come with a face off for security issues? Perhaps I'm just being paranoid here but I've had previous cars broken into before for the stereo :(

No mate, but i dont have to worry about stuff like that around here. Just look at my pics to see i have a sat nav in my window 24/7.

If it is a big thing for you, just put a few more quid towards a unit and get either a Alpine or a Pioneer with a removable face.

Can buy covers but anyone with 2 brain cells will know what it is there for.
 
WHOAAA! Groupama hot hatch insurance dont like lowering! £513 on top of my premium and would want 300 and something for the remainder on the year.

Even bloke on phone said that was a joke haha.

No lowering for me :(
 
Yeah i should just change insurance now, bloke asked me if i want to as loads of other insurers are coming in a lot cheaper.

Means restarting a year and losing the NCB though only 4 months in i paid a £600 deposit and £141 a month. A lot of deposit to lose, though not sure how it would work if i did cancel the policy with the insurer and the company i am paying monthly to.

Mind you i would be most likely jumping ship to a Type R if i did change insurers.
