Ok peeps here goes - trying to find all the old pics of my fiesta so I can start from the beginning but i fear too many of my old mods have ben lost in cyberspace forever 
It all started 08/06/2004 Wit the last drive of my beloved (and still much missed mini)
The very next day I picked up my shiny new Fiesta 1.4 Flame in panther black!!
I was soo proud!! Didn't do anythin for it until my mrs bought me a set of st150 indicators
These made such a difference to the car I thought I wonder what difference some lexus lights would make?
Oh dear I can see now how terrible it looks but I was only 18 and I was young and nieve
Left it like this for a few months and saved up enough for some wheels!!
on the Car
As you can see it's a moon buggy so I had it lowered on some -45mm spax springs

Around this time I joined ukfn - got on with everyone and was a proud member -
My little fiesta was doin me proud I was meeting peeps all around my area theywere all sayin what a nice car i had! This was good but i'm never happy!!
So I decided to sort the sound situation out at Global Ice Wired - ended up with 2 x Components, 2 x Coaxials, A head unit, xbox, 2 amps and a boot build
New headunit
New speakers
A boot build
I spent far too much money on this but again I was nieve and thought I was gettin the best!
Had some custom sill plates made
Next was (and still is) one of my fav mods - Full St leather
I had my install tested out at al local cruise (warrington car warz) and found out it wasnt as loud as I had hoped!!
So back I went to G.I.W and spent even more money
Had some new subs, 2 power caps fitted and some led's in the foot wells and in the boot and another hidden amp to power the subs as my amps that are on show power the components ans the coaxials. So i now had 2 x Components, 2 x Coaxials, A head unit, xbox, 3 amps, 2 power caps and a boot build!
Had it tested and it hit

I was so engrossed with UKFN that I decided to go to the BW3 meet - glad I did as I met quite a few friends there and I saw how much potential the fiesta has! And how far ahead my boot build was!! I'm sure my car was the loudest there!! :P
Got to BW3 and tried on the not yet available ultra lights and realised how bad my lexus lights were!
When I returned home I decided to buy a bodykit!
Trail fitting
Also some focus Rs wheels of simhoppers car!!
The extra vigilant among you might have noticed my new grill - It was such a steal I couldnt say no!! lol
My headunit was stolen
So I decided to get even more power to my subs - I bought a new amp
Some proper wiring
And a really expensive new headunit (Sad face cos it cost me soo much)
This did the bis and it's alot louder now
Although i've never had it tested since so I dont know what is puttin out power wise
About this time another body kit was bought and subsequently sold
My wheels were looking abit tattered so decided to get some new ones!
Thats how she was for FITP 2006
I finally saw the light and changed back to my standard lights!!
^^ Much better ^^ :thumbsup:
Colour coding time!

I was happy for all of 10 mins as she now looked a little on the high side! I know she was no moon buggy anymore but I still wasn't happy
So I bought these
And they did this
I was much happier!!
Found some st leather door cards on ebay
Colour coded the interior

Omp Strut Brace
A fiesta mk6.5 Zetec-s Steering wheel! Much more desireable for re-sale than the St one!

Just got the 1st piece of my engine bay bling last night!
Here are some pics (sorry for the quality they we're off my phone)
Header Tank Cover -
Fitted -
This was just a trial fitting as it needs to be polished before i'm happy with it!
I'll get some better pics when it's all polished up and I have the rest fitted (next few days I hope)
Can't believe the trouble i've had getting these off royal mail - but they finally arrived yesterday - they have yet to be put on the car but they look awesome!
All I need now is the chrome PAS tank cover and a samco hose for my induction kit and it's done (possibly some under bonnet mirrors)

540 mile round trip to essex and back
But I'm glad I did!
Got my self a new gearbox with a lsd!! :thumbsup:
I can't believe the difference this has made to my car!
Here's a pic of my baby on the ramps
if you go for one mod to your car make sure it's this one - LSD's are awesome!!
You can carry so much more speed through a corner and it feels so much more planted on the road!!

Conversion started by performance3000
The hoses will be red when this is done but they have used blue to mock up everything
engine bay almost looks factory apart from the big stainles induction hose - lol
NB the above is at the wheel horsepower!
