Done a couple of bits to the car recently, painted the front lower grilles gloss black to match the upper one and added a bit of carbon wrap to the interior.





Still loving the new ST, one or two more have cropped up in York recently now that cars are being delivered finally after all the delays!

Motorway driving returns about 45mpg, normal about town and villages gets about 35 so not too bad for a hot hatch

Got some new badge overlays today from dmb graphics.

[AdamC1983]

Lovely car gradually being ruined by cheap tack additions!

Oof, harsh!

Dont worry im not sticking anything else to it.

Next thing is probably going to be a remap.

AutoExpress is biased towards Ford though

What about all the other car mags then? Evo rated it top in the hot hatch test it did, are they baised towards ford aswell??

People have been doing the gel overlays on the Focus ST and Mondeo ST for about 2 or 3 years now
Personally think they look good but i'm happy with the OEM look.

They're nice these new Fiesta STs.
Not sure on the alloys though? Great colour though.

Tempted to paint the alloys darker, maybe even black, they are similar to the aventador wheels i think.

Ive seen carbon dip in the flesh and it looks st, doesnt reflect the light like real carbon or even some carbon wraps.

Tempted to swap the FRP for one of these in a year or so.

Ford currently offering a ST2 for £13995 with privilege discount

Thats 4 grand off! privilege is usually only 1500 off fiestas plus whatever the dealer wants to knock off. Take it thats for a solid red one with no options?

You add any options and the price soon rises, metallic paint is £450, pearlescent paint is £750! mines got all factory options available and i got it for 17k, 3k off the list price of 20k so i was happy with that

This was the perfect car to move onto after six years of FRP ownership, handles just as well with the extra grunt the FRP needed

Nope that's for a fully loaded st2.

Not a chance in hell, fully loaded is 20k, they arent gonna knock off six grand! I work at a ford dealer and get privilege, there was no way i could have got it that cheap.

[AdamC1983]

A bit ott with the drl's but yeah not bad for a kia!

[AdamC1983]

Been thinking of doing some bits black, wheels, mirrors and centre of front bumper.
Heres a nice photoshop.



And the original,



Opinions welcomed.

Im 50/50 swaying more towards leaving it as it is but thought an opinion or two wouldnt hurt

[AdamC1983]

What else can i use?? Via iphone preferably

[AdamC1983]

fk it ill pay £2 a month for the privilege lol

[AdamC1983]

Nice s2000, definiteley a car i would have bought if i didnt have two kids

[AdamC1983]

Good news the ST has come second in autoexpress top 100 fast fun cars, only beaten by the porsche cayman s and followed by the ferrari 458 italia!

Pretty impressive for an 18k car to beat a 175k car! In autoexpress!

[AdamC1983]

Update today, always preferred the dark headlamp look on cars and was disappointed the new ST came with chrome headlamps so i set about splitting and painting the inner surrounds today. A huge improvement on the chrome i feel.

Heres the before,





And the after,

Absolute ball ache! My fingers have numerous cuts and bruises, But worth it!
