Hi all. I thought it was about time to update the daily drive to something nicer that i could just get in and go and not be constanly fettling and t-cutting rust marks off!!

So after a long hard look, 3 hours later i had this!!

A standard (barring front ST170 brakes) 2 liter ESP with 58k on the clock FSH, aircon, heated front and rear screens, mirrors and washer jets, traction control (fun) button and genuine ford mats.

I didnt bother with any standard pics, we all know what they look like.

So after 18 hours of ownership this happened....



Then i added the Calibres off the Estate









.


Thats all for now, but plans are keeping minimum at the mo. Just a red tint reverse light and maybe some US spec rear lights. Maybe ST170 headlights, fogs and lower grill. No performance mods planned.....yet.

Comments welcome

[EUFez]

[Rs Adz]

I'm glad you've chosen life over death and choosen not to get your tyres stretched.

Life is valuable, don't let the car take your life!

Very nice indeed! I have a soft spot for focus'

[Ratspeed]

Cheers guys. I really like it, its nice to drive, decent on fuel and has got a bit of power and makes a nice sound when you kick its head in

James, we all know the UK's biggest killer is strectched tyres.

If im honest i think 205's on an 8j is perfect

[FRS_Steve]

Nice, looks like a very clean and straight example. I love magnum grey, one of my favourite ford colours

[jonyb4]

i thought it was Sea grey?

[EUFez]

i thought it was Sea grey?

Is there gonna be a colour debat again?

[FiestaBen]

Its definitely blue ... looks great too! think the wheels really suit it as well

[mrorange2]

Very nice mate look really nice.

[jonyb4]

Again?

no i know the mk6 & 6.5 fiesta is Sea grey, these seem the same, but you know how it goes, a slight variation and they get a completely new name

[dontpannic]

It's pepper re.... oh, wait.

To stop any further arguments about it, it's Magnum Grey.

I can tell you the VIN if you like, too.

Nope, only Magnum.

[Ratspeed]

Cheers for that Burman! it must be a sign, 1st registered on my birthday

[jonyb4]

build 28th (yesterday) or your on 14th of march?

[Ratspeed]

14th of march. I'll be 28

[Ratspeed]

Slight update. Ive spray tinted the reverse light so it matches the fog, cheaper than buying a euro one. Fitted some smoked side repeaters, de-tinted the rear lights and sorted the rusty tailpipe.

Plus today gavie it a bloody good clean. Cut, polished and waxed it, polished the wheels, cleaned the bay a bit and cleaned all the plastics and glass.

heres a few pics













sorry for all the boring pics!

[EUFez]

Looks good. Any other plans or just a keep it simple thing?

Get coilovers? ££££

I dont think im going to bother with coiles with it being the family car mate.

Only thing im going to do is ST upper and lower grills and maybe a spoiler.

K&N panel filter and stainless cat back is probably on the cards too...

[Michael!]

Anything planned interior wise? Leathers?

[Ratspeed]

Mrs doesnt like leather seats! but i might have to sneak an st170 interior in if i find one for the right price

[mrorange2]

And my ST170 interior you mean the ST170 optional recaro interior dont you ratty

[Michael!]

^ i hope he does

[jayrs]

Nice mate, as said magnum grey same colour as my 170, and I gotta admit its a nice colour.

Us spec rear lights is a good idea, one I wanna do to my focus but the missis still feels the love for the Lexus ones so there still on it

Same about the busted spring though but fairly common on focus for a spring to snap

[Ratspeed]

What busted spring?

[Michael!]

think hes got his threads confused again

[jayrs]

Nope not the wrong thread, just wrong end of the stick talking while looking on my phone thought it was a broken spring not a lowered spring I haven't had a fag this morning so I'm not fully awake ill go have one now and ill be alright

[Michael!]

I haven't had a fag this morning so I'm not fully awake ill go have one now and ill be alright :lol:

ill let you off... this time!

so matt, st170 optional recaro interior then yeah?
