Keep up the great entertainment!
Reminds me of a thread on here a year or 2 back, 20 odd pages of some flid painting random shit and sticking badges and anything he could find in the Spacka Special section of Motormania to a mk6 Escort estate.
Oh and one question. Ignoring the fact you've wasted time painting that wheel red, I thought you worked in a tyre place?
If so, wouldnt it of been easier to remove the tyre rather than mask up lol.

fair play matey you havent risen to being shot down in flames by countless people. but you have a sweet little fiesta there please please please take my advice dont chav it any further. i know everyone has there own style but you are on a ford enthusiast site here heed some of the advice given. in the end the car will be worth more and you will get more respect. subtle mods are the key to this motor take the cherry bomb and chuck it in the skip lower it properly on the pepperpots and leave it well alone in the future you will thank us

To be fair this thread has turned to shit, its gone from people offering constructive criticism to people just purely slagging this lads car off. It's a bit pathetic to be honest, if you don't like what you see press that little back buttom at the top of the browser
If the OP wants to turn the car into a bit of a chavmobile, let him get on with it. So far he hasnt done anything that can't be reasonably easily put right.
To the OP, do as you please with the car, after all you've spent your hard earned on it. Just a word of advice though, most of the lads on here know how to build a decent motor and have had plenty of practice so it's deffinately worth considering the advice given above! Plus it will save you cash to do it once, and right the first time.
Also you say you want a 'look at me' look to the car, trust me, a nice standard mk2 Fiesta, polished within and inch of it's life slammed on some nice wheels will get far more good/appreciative looks than one with some chavtastic alloys and a fart can on the back

Granted with all have to learn and start somewhere and this is perhaps the best forum to gain advise and ideas but what gets heded is entirly up to you..
Part of an old ford ownership is finding new ways to keep the interest up amongst the euro box driving kids of today.. but how much interest you generate in the future will be down to the effort and work you do today.

if thats what you want then go for it. i was just giving my opinion. i know people on this site are very opinionated but when you consider the quality of some of the cars being produced by the members on this site then there sugestions should be considered dude.

Mate it's your car and yours to do what you please with but if you were to go to some shows and see what others are doing to their MK2s you'd probably make a few changes. Subtle is the way and I agree that it would look good slammed, with some standard rims and a more tasteful exhaust. I'd swap the XR wheels for some polished pepperpots and get the bodywork sorted by a professional. It might not look difficult but it's easy to rush things and make a mistake. The people here are just trying to help and give you their opinions so you wont regret the mods you make. I'm sure you'll see sense eventually. If not though I have a sovereign ring and a staffy for sale?
