Keep it silver, poverty specs suit a flat colour.

Think it's sunburst red/ radiant red the mk3 1600i colour with the base model bumpers could look quite nice

nice looking fiesta clairendave!.....how good does the s1 look i red!!

keep on thinking about yellow with graphite wheels and black interior trim, although at the minute gloss black with standard bonus bumpers is top of the pile!

James, that was way back in 2000 at doncaster show. Not my wheels they were off Ian Howells old mondeo. It only last about 8 months after that. Started as a ghia and wasn't the best shell. 2 yrs of zetec turbo and it was pulling apart at the seams.

Cheers Dave

17's for the day it ran 15's towards the end, but started off on 7x13 rs 4 spokes and 175/50's later swapped to Rs7's as one of the 4s was bent. A lot of the rear arches behind the kit was cut away and raised to fit the 7j rims in. It was slammed, handled like a pig and needed sorting when the zetec went in. So got 15s and slightly raised.
Was a 1.8 on a T2 so went quite well low down but ran out of boost a it quick. It was only a cheap job as I melted the frst engine. It was around the 200hp mark. Took years to do as I got the misses up the duff and had no money. Lol
we broke up and the Car got finished in weeks.
