Since we sold the civic we've been on the lookout for another car to replace it with and looked at a few corsa C's and clio sportings but really wanted a turbo diesel for ecomony and keep costs down.
Well I finally found a car I'd been searching for and I gotta say I really love it.
Heres a run down on the spec
05 plate fiesta zetec-s 1.6 tdci in panther black
full ford history
full years MOT and tax (only £35 a year )
lowered on eibach springs
ST side skirts, handles and mouldings all fitted
17" multispoke wheels (original wheels also available)
new discs and pads fitted last week
Facelift headlights (not in the pics)

I got this one for a really good price as the guy had to sell it sooner rather than later as his better half is expecting another baby. You can pick them up between £5k and £8k for a near new model.

The petrol ones are like you say expensive for what they are but I love the look of them. This one comes with all the ST add-ons so its a big bonus.

My step dad has had two now: an 08 1.6 TDCi and now a brand new one. I would say however that the Mk6.5 is a lot more aesthetically pleasing so to speak.
With a good polish Panther Black has an amazing depth as well. Example after I detailed my step-dad's old one:
Good purchase mate you'll love it. Very nice to drive, steering isn't too light either compared to new models.

Hell of a long way to come for a re-map??? Its about 10mins from my house, and about 2mins from my work.
