Few weeks? Didn't know it would take that long to settle...? Fair play though, I'll wait... It looks lower today infact. Fordfair here I come.

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt REDshed(Fanny); Lowered 60MM
Look good
They dont look like 60mm, my spax 35mm setup looks as low as that i think, but as said, they will settle down even more yet, so it should be lower soon 
Whats next on the list? Im thinking some nice deep dish alloys.. just gotta find them!

Thanks Danny!
Hopfully it should get lower soon, as I think it still looks kinda high. I can tell it's getting lower though, day by day!
Next on the list is to get some awesome tyres for my banded steelies, only temp for Fordfair though. Want it to look good for once!
I've done something to my standard steelies already, not gunna show anyone though as I'm unsure on it myself. It's different though!

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt REDshed(Fanny); Lowered 60MM
looks good mate does look a tad hgher than 60mm, but when u got some alloys the same size with low profile's on will look lower. needs to fill the arch abit more probably why it looks higher.

Bought my springs about a year ago. G-MAX 60MM off eBay, only £60 brand new. These springs would fit any Mk3, even the Mk3.5

LOL that scrape last night sounded immense! love the sound of scraping ( even though it killed my escort)
its only the binelli clamp that scraped, next tiem the cars up in the air ill loosen it off then turn it around so it wont scrape.
im guessing that hint about the heatgun was aimed at me

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt REDshed(Fanny); Lowered 60MM
Arrrr I'm stuck on wheel choice... I'm unsure on Lenso's because there fake splits, althought they'd look awesome there still not real splits, and there not BBS. On the other hand there is some BBS alloys about... But there so expensive, plus I'd have to get adaptors etc etc...
I dunno! Bloody Ford fitment!

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt REDshed(Fanny); Lowered 60MM
what is ford fitment 4X108 isnt it. a lot of the 4 studs are 100 which i think is always the problem.
tell me if thats right or wrong, i can never remeber which way round it is.
but ill keep my eye out

Yeah your right mate, 4x108 is definatly Ford fitment. 4x100 is spoilt for choice with wheels... Shame really. Keep an eye out on some wheels people!

Even so, its still a Vauxhall... No personality, just white-goods.
Electric/heated mirrors can go on a Fiesta, electric windows are available on a Fiesta, central locking is available on a Fiesta, you can't beat Si or Recaro seats, and the fiesta boot is actually pretty spacious.
You'll be back, I wouldn't even dream of getting rid of a Fiesta for a Vaux!
