So i picked up alloys and bumpers that were on zetec s fiesta mk5. Got there guy did not tell me front bumper has slight crack round where there fog lamps sit looks repairable. Alloys look gd but need new tyres and one has pink paint on it seems to flake off but overall not sure if wasted 100quid on this stuff but i am hoping it can be repainted and put onto my fiesta. He said wheels mite make ride feel higher? As currently have 13s on them. Back bumper and side skirts look fine but all needs a respray. Thoughts and advise...photos coming soon

 

You have already got a thread about the alloys and bumpers for your Fiesta, no need to start a new one.

 

get the bumper repaired when it gets painted.

 

dropped by my mechanic today he very thumbs up and positive on alloy wheels but very unsure on bumpers he said not good to try remove old bumpers he said its high risk on such an old car he said, what if the old ones break off and new ones dont fit? so super reluctant on that, but thinks the zetec s alloys are def worth it, also missing one nut for the wheels any idea where i can get one from?

also is true that taking old bumpers off and putting zetec s bumpers on the car is high risk? surely just a few screws and bolts??

 

the only thing high risk is the persons ability in completing the job, the mk5 is a very easy car to break apart without issues as for alloys there should be no issues unless buckled etc simply select right tyre size and the height will be the same its all common sense really

 

you need to change mechanic mate
