My Yellow Fiesta - More New Wheels 16/12/08
Here are a few pics of my Yellow Si
Running the standard 1.6 engine with a Pipercross air filter and stainless exhaust although i do have a 2.0 in the garage i still havent decided whether to fit it or to sell it on as i also have a RS1800 inlet and a correct ECU and MAF
Interior is partially stripped with only the front seats still in, i have some 4 points harnesses to fit as well, will fit them and remove the rest of the rear trim at the same time
It did have some 14" Black Ghia alloys but i finished work early today so swapped them for the 14" Si steels and took a few pics
Got a few more things to do to it, needs the dash taking out and the wiring looking at as there are splices and wirings hanging down everywhere, also after some new wheels for it although i may stick with the steels for a while yet
The pics really dont show how yellow it is, in the flesh it is close to high visibility jacket yellow
Comments welcome

Fitted my new wheels today, they are Team Dynamics Monzas in a black chrome type finish
Still got loads of parts to fit, coilovers, adjustable lower arms, 2.0 engine with diesel gearbox, another backbox, new seats in the plans as well

Thanks for the comments
Next to do is to get the coilovers refurbished and fitted, lower arms fitted and xr2i arches and sideskirts painted and fitted
Only problem im having is finding the paint as I didnt have it painted. All i know is it is a Sikkens paint and is Nuon Yellow in colour, they do 8 types of paint in this colour and I dont know which paint I need
I'll post some more pictures when i get some more bits fitted

Bought yet another set of wheels that will be going on soon
I need to get my coilovers refurbished and fitted first really before the 16's go on
The 15's are now for sale and i will go back to the steels until i can get the 16's on
Here is a pic of the 16's
They are Fondmetals wrapped in 195/45/16 Yoko tyres
Also picked up another set of adjustable lower arms with spherical bearings but I think I may have got a set for a mk3 not a mk3.5. Will see when they arrive
Will update when there is some more progress
On a side note I am looking for a rear bench and the rear seatbelts and nuts and bolts to fit them so if anyone has these parts let me know
