Fiesta ST MP215 Build (Bristol, England)

Some of you may have posted on my thread in the New Members forum, but I'll go over things again as this is going to be a a gradual build project for my car.

So what do I have?

2014 Fiesta ST-2
Mountune MP215 Upgrade
Charcoal Recaros (we can't get anything else in the UK I dont think) (the seats are incredible)
Spirit Blue (Performance Blue)
ST Style Pack (Rado Grey ST alloys, red brake calipers and illuminated scuff plates)
Team Heko Wind Deflectors

That's about it for the moment so it's pretty much stock apart from the MP215. To begin with I'm going for all cosmetic/look upgrades as I'm more than happy with the power output, especially with the MP215 fitted (it pulls like a beast). I have owned the Fiesta for just over 2 months now and have finally (as of Saturday 28th Feb 2015) ordered some kit for it. I've been between jobs since Christmas 2014 so have been very low on cash.

What have I ordered?

Front Splitter - Triple R Composites (gloss black and leaving it so, not getting it colour matched)
Pressed Metal Number Plates -eBay
Mountune Logo Power Button Overlay Sticker - DMB Graphics
3m Carbon ST Logo Inlay Stickers - DMB Graphics

The splitter obviously being the main purchase this month. I know everyone gets one but I feel it improves the look of the car so much, especially once it's lowered (which mine will be eventually). With the ST logo sticker inlay I am also going to purchase yellow and white ones. They are only ?3.50 for a set of 3 (front, back and steering wheel logos) and when I know which colour is my favourite, I will probably get the logos painted as it is more permanent than a sticker. The pressed metal number plates are another cheap (?20) mod. Here in the UK, the look of our number plates is dreadful - plastic and boring, so wanted something a bit more eye-catching.

What else is on the mod list?

Side Skirt Splitters - Triple R Composites
Headlight Brows - Triple R Composites
Lowering Springs - Mountune (20mm/28mm)
Wheel Spacers - Eibach (15mm)
White/Blue Bulbs - Auto Bulbs Direct (dipped, main and fog - Osram)
Gloss Black Plastics - Front grille, front fogs and rear vallance all painted gloss black instead of the awful raw grey plastics
Rota Grid Alloys - RS Direct (5 spoke)
Headlight Tint - Lamin-X (Gunsmoke - dependant on UK laws, have to do more research in to this)
Boomba Spoiler Riser - SiCo
Perrin Super Shorty Antenna - JW Racing (only one I could find for sale in the UK!)
ST Logo Foot Rest - eBay

High Flow Induction Hose - Mountune
Charge Pipe Upgrade Kit - Mountune
Quick Shift - Mountune

That is how my list stands at the moment. Going to be a steady project with upgrades coming each month (each payday). Once I have most of the cosmetic mods done, I will turn to performance upgrades. Since the car has the MP215, I am kind of married to Mountune, which is fine and I'm more than happy, but they take forever to release new products. Been waiting on there cat-back for 2 years and god knows how long it will be until they release another MK7 Fiesta ST power upgrade. I will assess the situation when I get to it. Revo offer a 3Stage performance upgrade for the Fiesta so that is an option (not sure if they are over in the US) but we shall see.

Please feel free to comment on the car, upgrades list, what you think, if you know where I could get anything on my list, tell me about other mods that I havent mentioned that might suit my car etc etc...

Cheers!!

P.S. I will upload some photos of my car as it sits right now later on today.

Finally some photos...I think. Such a ball ache uploading photos on here. Wouldn't let me use the album because file size was too big even though each photo was less than 500kb but never mind. I will post link under each image in case.

Just some photos of how my car sits now and my pressed metal number plates after getting rid of the horrible dealer plates. Also have carbon fibre ST Logo inlays from DMB which look real good but haven't got a good photo of them yet.

I'm also doing a full wash and detail on Sunday and finally fitting my Triple R front splitter so more photos to come this weekend!

I live out in the country side, down country roads. So one spot of rain = mud everywhere so cars get very dirty. Also, yes I know my rear plate is wonky, I only quickly stuck them on for the photo! Can also kind of see the ST Logo inlay from this image..
