Question My mk5 fiesta 1.25 upgrades

Hello there,

I am a new driver, but have a lust for Fords, while saving every penny I can to purchase a 'MK 5 Fiesta 1.25'(face-lift version), I have complied a wishlist & doing my homework.

I have plans to add a few 'subtle mods', but nothing over the top, my intention is to keep it with in my insurance premium, but still make it look as factory & tidy as possible, yet still a little more aggressive, than my grans car, lol!

I wanted to know a few things & have a few questions, that hopefully you could answer for me???

1) Is there is an 'all black interior trim' on standard 1.25 models or should I purchase & fit the trim of a higher model?(Carpet/lining/seats/dash & cards etc).

2) Are there any 'wider' Ford alloy wheels, through out the Ford range, that will fit directly onto the original 1.25 without any problems or alterations?

3) What MK5 models have the best 'all black interiors'(cloth/half leather or full leather) & what are the 'trim styles' am I looking/asking for??


I want to become a trader at some point, I'm not a boy racer, I'd like to increase its value or at least making something 'basic' a little bit more luxurious & desirable, this is my only intention, as reputation is everything.

Thanks guys.

1) You could try and find a nice leather interior from the Ghia I think or even the interior from a Zetec s.

2) Depends on what your after, but you could go with the 15" Zetec S wheels or 15" Escort GTi Wheels, you also have the 16" Mondeo alloys that look the same as the Escort GTi's only bigger.

3) Ghia or Ghia X I think.

Mondeo, ZS and Puma alloys all fit well and look really good in my opinion. If memory serves me right the Puma ones may have a slight offset so they stick out a bit more? They seem to on my mates MK6 fez anyway hence why I want some for my MK5 haha. The best one other than the ZS has got to be the LTD black edition fiesta imo. Comes with black leather interior, (well everything on the car is black pretty much hence the name) exclusive alloys to that model I think, by far my favorite alloys but hard to find on their own, leccy windows, aircon all the kit I think. It's a 1.25 engine aswell, think they only did it in 3 door. I like the ghia but I think they only did them in 5 door which I'm not a fan of
