Mada's Purple Fiesta Mk5 - Engine change!
As some of you may know i had a mk5 before which sadly died [ERRR] of the winter and it had engine problems and was dying a bit from rust so that got scrapped on wednesday, here is how it looked before it died


Now here is the new one
its a mk5 1.25 zetec with 78k on the clock, came with loads of recepits with work that had been done on it.
picked this up on friday. came with tsw alloys


getting more pictures tonight
since then i have changed all the dash lights to blue, fitted blue footwell neons, upgraded the front headlights, fitted my apline cd player, changed the wiper blades, puma gear knob, tax disk holder, exaust tip, amp and 6x9's for now.
also bought lowering springs for the heafty amout of £35 brand new and managed to get a splitter for 50p.
also need to fit my hertz comps too.

Re: Mada's Purple Fiesta Mk5
Plans are :
- get rear windows tinted and maybe front very light tint
- get it lowered 40mm
- fit the air filter
- zs phase 2 interior
- have a sneaky plan for the interior which will involve a lot of material
- flase floor in the boot

Re: Mada's Purple Fiesta Mk5 update 08/03/2010
Right not updated this for a while!
have slightly tinted the rear lights, not too dark, looks good, maybe needs to go a little darker, will get better pics soon.
heres just a quick one after a quick wash

My brakes actually died, started to crunch when braking so decied to get grooved and drilled disks as they look better, when replacing them, there was acutally no pads left on them and the disk cracked when taking them off


Also have decied to redo all of my audio so have now decied to go with JL audio after reading good reviews, so got my mono amp (E1200) for £50 brand new
bought my sub today too so hopefully will arrive tomoorw, on the look out for either a 2 channel or 4 channel JL audio amp now, and upgrading all of the wiring.

Also have a surprise that i will post pictures up when its on the car, hopefully will set the car off a treat
