yeah mate we'll meet up in town one night or something with the cars

[BigUKG]

yeahhh I'll shoot up the odeon or something. my brother will probably come aswel in his mk2 golf

[BigUKG]

Quick update.. hoping to get my bumpers skirts etc booked in with kent paints soon to be sprayed, get paid on the 25th so I'll let them do it if the price is right

My twin brother passed his driving test 1st time this morning so he will be insuring his Red Mk2 Golf next Thursday!! Cant wait to do my test now because I'm so determined to pass. Anyone who knows any identical twins will know how competitive they are! Should be in about 4 weeks time.

In the mean time, if anyone knows of any good places to buy 1) White primer 2) White body filler 3) the services of a talented sprayer (and supplier of paint) let me know!!

Its getting there

[BigUKG]

Its getting there

Slowely but surely, target for all bodywork to be finished and fitted is 25th October, so got a good few weeks! Then I'll be scouting about to try and get some alloys on there before my bank account gets r*ped by christmas!

Sounds like a plan

I am not doing anything else to my car, i am just saving up slowly for a new car now

[BigUKG]

As soon as I'm done with my Fiesta I'm saving for a Mk4 Golf, 1.4 or 1.6 I expect. Treat it to some nice big R32 or RS6 alloys and an R32 Interior
What do you want next ?

I said that but had a change of heart and bought the MK5 (Which I've done a much better job on!! Check my garage )

[BigUKG]

Hmmm I bet I end up longing for a Mk5 Zetec S or a Mk3 RS lol.

I love this picture mate!

[dontpannic]

Cheers mate A bit high in that one hehe I'm gonna get some more high-res high-quality shots tonight and see what I can do

Let me know when you pass your test and we can meet up

[BigUKG]

Sounds good mate, bumpers etc should be on by then, but probably still a mcdonalds straw exhaust and steelies

lol... Cool Sounds good mate.

[BigUKG]

Good News
Just brought these.....



Not sure when they'll go on because I'll need some tyres, and I might wait until the crappy 1.3 suspension has been replaced before I risk rubbing!

Tempted to get a CAT 1 alarm fitted before hand aswel. Has anyone on here with a Mk3 Fiesta ever had any problems with people trying to steal there cars? Or is it pretty unheard of? I live on a private housing estate in a cul-de-sac and I'll be parked next to the likes of Mr Audi, Jag, Merc and BMW at work so not too worried

[dontpannic]

Looking good Alex, which wheels are they?

There have been a few break ins on the forum so its not unheard of. As a rule of thumb I would get an alarm sorted before modifications, i.e make sure the car is safe

[BigUKG]

Yeah I think so, going to push ahead with getting the bodykit on then get some money together and have a CAT 1 fitted.

[M1K3Y_B]

At the moment i am undecided about whether i like the wheels.

But i will more than likely think differently when they are on the car with the tyes

[BigUKG]

The wheels are pretty "Euro" style. They're not available through suppliers in the UK either. Part of me really like's them cos they're different and when I finally get to ford fair its unlikely they'll be another Mk3 up there with the same wheels

I'll try and get a photoshop done of them on an XR2i, Probably a pic of M4X WW's old Mk3, not that mine wil ever look as good as that car did

EDIT



Here they are on the "Wolf" Fiesta (by Code:Red I think....).

[M1K3Y_B]

Don't look too bad actually

Its good to be different, i haven't seen another car with my wheel yet

[BigUKG]

I can't wait to get them on.

Will the wheels rub on a 1.3 Fiesta with 45 tyres? I need to get the alarm done before I do too much else (after the body kit is all on), but if I can leave the suspension until after the wheels are on then I will do!

What size are the wheels?

I've got 195/45/R15's and they only scrub going over bumps with a full car. (Edit - with a 40mm drop)

Nick

[BigUKG]

16" and I'll put 40 or 45 profile tyres on.. Wont be lowering mine, I'm going to put some RS shocks & springs on hopefully..

Be aware, with 16's on and not lowered it might look tractorish. I might be wrong though

[BigUKG]

Would a 35mil drop be too much on 16s in 45s?

[FlashXR2i]

[BigUKG]

They only use 19" wheels on their demo cars though (Mostly Focus ST's I think). The guy I brought them off tried to tell me they had actually been used on a demo car, but I'm not so sure. Unless they came off that Mk6 Fiesta....

What do you think of them?

[FlashXR2i]

In the past they offered some interesting performance mods and special edition fords.
These days they offer mostly styling mods.

Wolf parts are german TUV approved which guarantee quality.

[BigUKG]

Anymore opinions on those wheels?

[MENACE]

your wheels will fit on perfectly and wont scrub and should be ok on a 30mm drop.get your alarm sorted a.s.a.p mate as mk3 fiestas are the easiest car to nick only take one person and can drive away in less than 2 minutes.hope this information helps

[BigUKG]

Hope so mate. Yeah keen to get that sorted asap, the last thing I want is to get it back on the road then have it nicked. Lucky to know most people in my area (by name and face atleast) so I'd find out who it was...

[BigUKG]

Driving lesson in about 20 minutes, last one before my driving test on Monday! Practising manouvers today for an hour because he says my driving is fine for the test, and then we'll have a general hour before the test, then thats it! In gets the examiner.

Well want to pass because my twin has first time, but I know the worst thing that can happen is I'll fail. Looking forward to it in a lot of ways. Just wana go there, pass and get it out of the way!

[Ruishy1]

best of luck matr, passing first time really gives you a good feeling, especially with only 2 minors

[Stemh]

Good Luck! Im sure you'l do well.
