K, my bad then...still you should paint it properly and look into what some of us are saying, I hate to take the piss but I was so chuffed to see the car evolve and then BAM!..scooby seats (rubbish) sunstrip (sick of comments on that already) leds (which you say are gone but one still visible above numberplate)
If you watched that topgear episode recently about the councils not allowing shit houses to be built but letting people have a shit car...you would make a great example for the need of such a "no chav" law
Prove me wrong and make it a good car...buy escort rs recaros, a nice mondy zetec, xr2 brakes and enjoy being respected for once

No believe me there will be no big body kits or bonnet scoops (unless a turbo'd engine is dropped init).
if im not at work on thursday gonna take the whole body kit off and see whats what on the arches and sand and paint around the rear window where the other bit of the spoiler goes, sort it all out no stupid bits and bobs now just the good stuff e.g big front brakes

Xr2 kit is coming off this week some time look out for the pics.
And NO way to 60mm springs believe me its low enough with 50mm lower springs its a harsh ride and it still scrapes on a few bumps.

you cant tell some young people anything i was just the same i think he is going to pull through for us in the end, peoples taste changes all the time so maybe by page 20 the sticker will be removed, seats replaced and bigger brakes fitted

It's about them not matching the era or continent of the car, Asia and Europe have very different design philosophies and it shows in the seats you have...
The more rectangular "german" recaros match the boxy euro fiesta. The end.

The money you've spent on shitty out of place mods could have paid to insure one of those and someone could have gave this fiesta the life it deserves!

Whats out of place i hear you say, hmm;
Seats, wrong era, dont look right atall
Red drums, i mean WTF man
Sunstrip, need i say more
Cherry bomb, this is 2011, not 1993
L.E.D on front bumper, why?
Seatbelt Cushions, mentioned this before haven't i

Improvements;
Remove, cherry bomb, sunstrip, seats, gay L.E.D, seatbelt cushions

Replace with, xr2 system or even standard exhaust and escort recaros

In regards to the seats, i recall you saying they were fitted to fast subarus and hold you in your seat and look cool. This isnt a fast car, its a 1.0 poverty spec fiesta, you dont need holding in your seat unless you drive like an utter arse, but if you do, hopefully you get caught and banned so someone else can have this.

This is a Ford enthusiast site. The reason your getting so much stick is because these cars are hard to come by these days. Mainly because chavs like you owned them in the 90's and done what your doing, and thinking it was a 'beast', crashed. Now i dont know if you've ever seen one of these things in a crash, but they fold up like a paper plane. The other reason you dont see many is because they've rotted away. You have yourself a clean example, and your going down the wrong route and no one here wants to see it get wrecked or you be laughed at, cause lets be honest thats why it gets looks, and your mates may say its 'cool' cause they just wanna bum a lift.

Do yourself a favour and listen to the advice on hear. It may be harsh at times, but these are people in the know, and they know whats best for this poor little thing. I dont get why you come on here asking for advice, get the best solution/opinion, then totally ignore it anyway.

LISTEN! Cause you'll soon regret it if you don't pal.

I don't think Impreza seats are supportive at all compared to RST seats. I think they're pretty uncomfortable to be honest.

This is petty man all the things u av listed above are incredibley small things down to personal taste, L.E.D gone, drums my thing that i like so what, sunstrip so what personal taste! i love the seats and may eventually change them if rst seats come avaliable for a small price. there is only 1 seatbelt cover on the passenger side so when no1 is sat there it says SPARCO which is pretty cool its only for show and not use at any other time. cherry bomb u av never heard it on my car so u cant comment on that, ill try upload a video going through a tunnel then we'll see

We don't need a video you plum. Cherrybombs sound shite, that's an end of it

Go on youtube, search for videos of modified RS Turbos, Cosworths, carb'd up Zetec engines and the like and see what they sound like. They're the noises people in the Ford world are into. Maybe you might then realise that a pikey, shit, chav, 1990s cherrybomb does actually sound wanker than wank!
