I have just bought a nice 2011 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1600 for my son so looking for advice from the experts for possible upgrades to do.
Forgive me but I am new to this;
Was thinking of wrapping the door mirrors and roof panel black. I had the same on my old White BMW 4 series and looked nice.
Shall I leave the wheels the graphite grey or change to black. How do I measure to get a size for spacers?
Engine is petrol so I take it no point in a remap? Anything I can do to get a wee bit more bhp?
Thanks Big Lee. Other than the things I mentioned, was looking on seeing what good engine mods to do, nothing mental though, something easy that even my son and I could do. Looked into the remap but as not Turbo not worth it.
I will get it detailed before giving to him, he doesn't know about it yet, so will have it looking nice for him.
id put air filter on it and maybe decat full exhaust im not sure how much you will get from remap on it but them mods are quiet simple as other then that its into camshafts nd stuff
Would that just be changing to a K&N filter? Got a friend that can help with exhaust and camshaft so will look into that, nice one.
I am offshore at the moment so car will be getting delivered on the 18th when I get back, then the fun begins.
you can eather run cone type induction or just a pannel filter tbh both will give same gain imo.. the exhaust if u look on net a 4 branch decat will open power up on it.. you can get manifold and system on ebay cheap stainless but you can get lot for like Ł500 00 from head to back of car.. camshafts your probs best off asking newman cams for like fast road so say 1500/2000 rpm upwards.. just anything daft you will be revn the nuts off it about town in traffic etc.
I'm sure you've considered it anyway but assuming this is your sons first car, or he's still pretty young, consider the impact/costs to his insurance before going too mad! Tho there are specialists out there who are a bit more understanding
Got the car in for a service and a health check. All pretty good, just a new steering rack needed. Drove down to my caravan down the coast, 1hr and 20 min drive, Fiesta drove bang on, cracking wee car.
.Looking into getting a short shift but when checking on line see various types, asked if it would be suitable for his model of Fiesta and all replied wouldn't be!. Confussed as to what one I need. As you know your stuff could you advise.
The Fiesta is 2011 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1600 reg EK11 BXM, thanks mate.
hi if its a mk7 fiesta there are plenty of places online do short shifts ebay. burton power. graham goode even i suppose you will need to check but im sure shifter is same set up as st180 etc the part needed is a small alloy triangle shape
I want to buy a 2011 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1600 and for that I am searching for information online regarding this car and after reading your post, I will surely buy it. I impressed my parents by getting high marks on my essay assignment. I got high marks because I have taken help from an online essay writer which I found over https://www.topessaywriting.org/correct-my-essay here. And now my parents will buy me that car.

Hi Glenn. Yes, my sons car is in brilliant condition. Just had it detailed for him, like a brand new car.
Drove up to Aberdeen from Glasgow in it to get ready to go offshore for 2 weeks working. Brilliant drive up, Left at 03:30 and roads were empty most of way up. Great wee drive out in it. Lets just hope the battery is okay after 2 weeks, should be hopefully.
