Styling

Postby Nisi on Mon Aug 18, 2008 9:29 pm

My dad bought me a Blue Ford Fiesta 1.3 M Reg Frecasti as a first car. Will get pictures up soon. Need to wash it first

Just wondering what i can do to it on the cheaper side at the moment then looking to do more in later days.
I have changed the rear lights and side lights, and removed the old rusting badges and looking to buy new
ford badges to give it a stand out look. On the interior side i have changed the gear knob and rear window
winders and carpet mats.

On the ICE front its a little slow but i have installed a new head unit and front door speakers, trying to fit
6x9 speaker on the parcel shelf in the coming weeks.

I was looking at purchising a set of alloys and a fiesta bodykit but not a boy racer one a proper fiesta one.
For example a XR2i body kit.

Also, i had a crazy idea to paint some of the interior bits and bobs to give it a different look.

Thank you

Also, any ideas on how to wire up 6x9 speakers into the adaptor

As i have a blue car coule i paint the bodykit Black to give it a two tone effect or should i stick to Blue

All of it sounds good apart from the Painting parts of the inside not a big fan.

Stick to blue imo.

If you're going to go 2 colours, do the kit silver.

hey mate
im more or less in the sme place as you..
first car = fiesta ive done a few mods little things like, mud guards alloys you know that sort of thing

as for the rear 6x9's, i got some long audio wire (two wires in one casing) and run them all along to the back from the cd player, i just twisted the wires together with my hands then taping themto avoid a short circit i put the wires under the plastic bit under the doors and up behind the back seats and installed the speakers in the parcel shelf. simple i didnt bother with any of the connectors on the cd player but it will look better when you sell it (if lol)

reply if you have trouble, but its pretty straight forwads
best of luck :) :D
