I'm genuinely intrigued. It's the under bumper thing isn't it?

do you know the bumper were on about nick?

theyre basicly a RS accessory of the Si bumper,, they have stunning grooves in the back, and a larger "mouth on the front, with more of a pronounced lower section to the front
also the front has no "upper mouth" liek the Si does just a "shelf" liek the RS/xr bumpers do


they're extreamly rare now, even more so than the original RS ac kit i reckon (the one that fits under standard pov bumpers)


i forget how the skirts look though

Skirts are rounded.

The kits are rare indeed, a few floating about if you know who has them though!

Oh it's the rounded set not the under bumper bits.

The side skirts look very similar to 2 lengths of drain pipe - probably could be substituted.

Sorn in a garage mate. I'm going to replace two front wings, passenger side rear arch and front lower panel. Then respray her. Basically a total restore then wack the RS kit on. Unsure on what wheels to buy yet... But that's last on the list. I plan to Silvertop it as well. I'm really excited about it! Now it's off the road I get the chance to actually do things proper.

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5 Project OEM+: Electrics Problem?

Postby EUFez on Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:28 am

Hi guys, need some help. I've had trouble with the Mk3 for a while now, hence me getting my ZS. Getting sick of it now.

I'm presuming I have some sort of electrical problem. When I was driving it daily sometimes it would run fine, other days it would just cut out. I was at a set of traffic lights, stationary. One min it's running fine, then all the lights dim and it just cuts out. I get a jump start, it lasts for an hour then it won't start. Doesn't even tick over.

Also when it does die and I put my hazards on the clicking sound it makes gets faster and faster and sounds like its going to blow up! All the lights exterior and interior just go dead.

The alternator is about two years old now, after market s**t so it might be that? I've had my battery for about 8months now, unsure what it can be? Maybe it's something simple? I HATE ELECTRICS! :lol:

Cheers,

James

Yeah I think that's the best option at the min, and to be fair I think it is the alternator. Cheap c**p off eBay.
