Welcome! I've had such a blast with mine so far. Enjoy it!

p.s. I'm forever going to regret not being patient and finding one with Recaros.

 

[Strife]

Thanks!

I was lucky as the last one they had in stock was this one with the Recaro package. I had just driven a Scion FR-S, which I loved, but was underwhelmed with "extras" it came with for the price. The Fiesta was more convenient being a four door, hatch and came with more options for far less money.

Installed my black with red logo Rally Armor mud flaps today. Couldnt get a great picture because it gets dark here so early now. But I'll try to snap a few shots tomorrow or this weekend and post them up for anyone curious.

Next up on the mods list is either Cobb Stage 1 or a set of wheels. Having trouble deciding which!

Cough cough.... COBB....

[FearTheSnail]

Fiesta emblem debadge?

 

[Strife]

That's a good idea. I hate washing and cleaning around that badge.

Stage one comes with it which is nice.

Hey guys, installed my Mountune lower spoiler and snapped a few shots today. Here's the better two photos of the set.

Looks great! Mine's Oxford White too, and I hope to paint my calipers red before too long. I see from your pics that it looks really good with the white.

Cheers,

I really like the red calipers myself, glad mine came this way as I wouldnt want to paint them myself. Some people who bought their ST were supposed to get the red calipers but Ford made a mistake and didnt include them. They're getting the red calipers free of charge now.

Ordered a Cobb Intake system today. A few more weeks from now I'll get the AP3.

 

[Strife]

Cobb intake arrived and was installed today. Probably the most trouble I've ever had to go through to install an intake system on any car I've ever owned. Install wasn't too bad, just a lot of steps before the actual removal of the old intake and installation of the new one.

Here's a crappy cell phone picture right after the install. Engine bay is a little dirty still. I'll probably clean everything up this weekend and snap some pictures with my DSLR.

Just ordered a set of XXR 527s in 17x7.5 +40 17.9lbs. Pretty excited to get these mounted up and installed. Pictures when they arrive!

New wheel day:

 

[M-Sport fan]

^^^Which tires?

Those DO look really good on the white!

Stock tired at the moment. Though I plan on getting something a little better in the near future.

 

[M-Sport fan]

^^^For some reason they don't look as 'rubberband like' as most of the factory Potenzas do on most wheels.

That's why I asked, as I thought that maybe you installed some 205/45s on those 527s.
