decided to play safe and go for the fiesta st wheels, looking for some on ebay at the moment

this weekend i re-sprayed my washer jets properly as torquesteer.co.uk must have done a crap job on them, paint was flaking off, looked like no plastic primer was used.

also fitted my french plates again with lots of sticky pads and a hairdryer i'll get some pics tomorrow after i give it a well earned polish.

fitted the alarm but had problems wiring it to the hazard switch and the remote centrol locking but other then that it works fine, a bit too sensitive so have to turn that down, even a car driving past set it off, and it's loud should scare off the chav scum now

bought fiesta st sill plates and interior door handles which are silver and just ordering a blue st badge for the tailgate and also a sporting trophy decal sticker just to give it some authenticity.

and some led rear number plate lights, it's the litter things that count

i'll post more pics as and when i get them, bidding on some fiesta st wheels on ebay so should look like this within a month

the seats are much more comfortable and it feels really well made inside.

bit bumpy on standard suspension though, can feel near enough every bump in the road which means you do get thrown about a bit

buying some st wheels tomorrow in hertford

they look better than normal uk font ones

nah i like them because the letters/numbers are smaller and they are pressed metal

anyway: big update,

went and picked up a mint set of st150 alloys today with near enough brand new tyres for £400





think it makes the car look so much better! here's a quick pic with them on, will get some more tomorrow when i've washed the car as it looks dirty

before:


after:


probably only going to lower it and then leave it as it is as my accident's got sorted out and i was 100% not at fault so i now have 1 years no claims, st time in 5 months
