Hi hiya howdy etc

[unclefester]

Thought best poke a head in here and say hi.

New to Ford and just bought a 2014 Frost white Fiesta ST3. Utterly boring bone stock apart from HID lights, interior leds and some winter 15" wheels that have been tucked away until later in the year.

Sold a commuter Aygo and a Honda S2000 to buy this and get down to one car and one bike (Z1000 SX) so that's fun well and truly covered.

So far a lot of fun. Plans? None really. Maybe a decat / exhaust / upgraded fmic but most likely just drive it

One and only extra mod - drilled and clipped 4 rubber mushroom grommets to sot under the edges of the parcel shelf. The rattling was doing my nut in.

3 quid / 20 minutes well spent!!

Welcome - I’m jealous you have 2 fewer doors!

One of the benefits of UK - i'd still rather have US fuel prices

Who the hell designed the wheel nuts on this ..... had a nightmare getting the old wheelnuts off because the alloy weather caps had corroded into place. Now removed and replaced with something that won't corrode in place.

Next small mod - changing out the headrests for standard black leather / white stitching from a Zetec. The forward rake on the Recaro ones is truly awful. Other than that, it's done about 1200 miles in the last year

Welcome to the machine.

Send shortbread and Yorkie bars!

 

[unclefester]

Been trying out some new cleaning gear on it and for a quick foam, wipe and dry then new finishing kit - come quite well. Not quite ticked over 50k yet.

Damn, I so wish that we had the 'coupe' option here for our Mk7 hot hatches.
