Stripped out interior. Pair of bucket seats and harnesses. Weight saving will make it go faster :)

Recaro seats, matching doorcards, leather steering wheel, black dash/carpet. Just keep it clean and tidy :)

cheers johnson91, would love to see a pic, for some reason it seems to be really difficult to find pictures of specific mods on fiestas :-?
