I'm between Blue, White and Black. I've not seen a black so will have to keep an eye out for one. I'll pop by and see yours soon as the pics of it are looking great smile

Hello mate, nice couple of STs!
Makes me wish I maybe chose a different colour to race red! Am partial to panther black however.
Have you looked into remaps? I'm Considering Mountune, yet Revo stage 1 is seeing gains of 220-30 for 200 less.. Stuck

I've got the MP215 kit fitted on mine and I'd highly recommend it! It feels just like the standard car with regards to driveability but feels quicker when you put your foot down. It's not a massive difference so don't expect it to take off like a rocket, it's certainly enough to notice though.

Sounds brilliant with the airbox as well!

That's cool, wish I specced mine with the kit from new now!
I've only heard good things about the Mountune kit to be honest, so definitely edging towards it. Keen to keep the warranty valid too, only thing making me mm and aah is that i've got an AS induction kit, which I guess would be rendered useless with the MP215 kit!
By the by, awesome cars, may have to take a visit to Essex soon smile

Just a word of warning that the AS induction kit has caused numerous cars now to go into limp mode, ive heard of at least five people who have had to take it off and return to standard due to problems.

If your after a good induction kit or any tuning parts for the ST Then www.finsport.co.uk is the place to go, heard nothing but good reviews about their software (remaps) and hardware like ind kits and exhausts. They have spent a lot more time than other companies on testing the products that work best and give the best gains for your money.

Funny you say that.. cars due to go into the dealer due to going into limp mode twice on a trip to Swansea on the weekend.. remedied with turning the car on and off but still worrying!
Cheers for the heads up, looks like that's coming off and I will save for something better.

I've become very tempted by the new Fiesta ST, especially since we're permitted to have the Mountune kit fitted in Luxembourg, which given the local authority's view on "modifications" is rare!

I had my car serviced last week, and was thinking about selling it and getting a new 595 Comp, but can't help but think the Fiat 500's a tad small for me, even as a 2nd car.

Local dealer's got 2 almost new ST2 in stock, both Molten Lava, one at €17k with 16k km the other at €21k with 4k km. I'm very tempted....

Surprised you've chosen white for the replacement, OP. We've 2 white cars at home and wish to have a change to something more colourful. wink
Ok, I'll retract my earlier post!
I ordered a brand new ST2 yesterday - in white!
Local "Autofestival" started yesterday and I got a better deal on a brand new car than the 2nd hand one with 4k km on that I mentioned above.
The car's in stock so I'll get it on the 13th. smile

But, that red Ford badge is awful!frown
