Dont let a bit of welding get you down mate, just get it done properly, learn from who you use to do the work for you, crack on with it and get it done for summer 
Looks really well on the cossie wheels too

wheels look great but are'nt they the wrong offset for your fiesta, i think the ones you've got have the cossie offsett which is different to the frst offset, as i've have the same wheels as u but mine are the correct offset
