Default mk4 fiesta project "cheapskate"

should looks like this when finished

hey fella's i've been signed on to this sight for ages just forgot about it as i normally use zsoc

anyhoo thought i'd post my project on here, could use all the help i can get!

ordered some G-max 40mm shocks and springs, used from ebay for £100
hopfully they'll be in good enough condition they seemed alright from the pics.

next on the list is banded steelies! going to be doing it through a company. will be going about another 3 inches wider depending on the size of the original steel wheels i've not got any yet.
not wanting to go too wide, about the same as a ecossie wheel.
be painting them black

need to fix the front bumper though as it has a huge scuff on it thanks to a poll stepping out on me.

futurer mods:
- cheap exhaust
- ESP arches and side skirts with a zs rear bumper
- spacers (depending on how wide the wheels go)


if anyone knows a good company to recomend for banding let me know! i have afew already

thanks for looking.

thanks fella aye they are pretty nippy for a 1.2, doesn't mean i dont want a 1.7 in it

not sure on body kits if i'm honest, i was thinking just an ESP arch kit with ZS side skirts and rear bumper.

ha no not a fan on kits. love the zs kit though! although the front bumper doesn't look right when modded to fit a mk4 in my opinion.

It looks cool.

Don't bodykit it whatever you do. All that happens there is a. you look like a mong b. you add a lot of expense c. you wished that you hadn't spent money making you look like a mong when you could put it towards a better car or more performance mods
