i used to have a renault megane in capsicum red really nice color but not sure if it would suite
electric blue sounds nice but im going more classic on this car to suite the theme so i might go diamond white but too many decisions lol
another color could me mercury grey?

i like the idea of beige as its a classic looking color and i think it would suite the mk1 with black sidestripes and black fiesta GL badge

keep working from pictures you have of the real thing mate and you will nail the boot problem before too long.
really like this idea and it's very original too!!
should look good when finished.
give dave a shout when you want the decals doing mate.
we might be able to help you out with the front grille and front lights too.

rite here we go as promised

this was it a few days ago when i sanded it a bit to see what point im at in the build.


and a day after

you can see the problem i was having with the boot lol it didnt look anything like the fiestas one because the lip was way too big

then i had the brilliant idea of using milliput i cut away more of the rear light mounting so it went further up (like the real fiestas one) then i built up the rear panel with milliput up to the line of where the much reduces boot lip will be (sorry about the bad picture)

then i decided that the fiesta needed a back box (still not finnished got to flat the end and drill a hole through the middle and sorry for the bad pic again)

and some finnishing pics for today



oh and its been sprayed in silver in some places to highlight defects (there are many )
