New 2013 Fiesta ST 1.6 Turbo

Pain in the arse. Used a heat gun, screwdrivers and a stanley knife. Took a few hours like, worth it though as itll stand out from the others. Looks great with the daytime running lights on.

[AdamC1983]

That is a lot easier than it was on the fiesta!

[AdamC1983]

Still dont get why they say it only has 180bhp, if they read the small print they would realise its 197bhp with the overboost function!

But im chuffed with that from top gear, proud to own one

[AdamC1983]

Yeah ford quote the lower figure to keep my insurance cheap

[AdamC1983]

Just noticed bluefin have released their remap for the ST, puts power up by 38bhp, not a bad increase for less than 400 quid!

[AdamC1983]

Fitted a shorter plate on the front, removing the stoneacre dealer plates.

The stereo looks "busy" on the face but is very easy to use, sat nav is great in my opinion. I personally have an iphone 5 and it connects via bluetooth automatically when you get in the car for playing music and making calls if need be. Not tried a usb stick yet though as all my music is on my phone.

[AdamC1983]

Yeah most fiestas now have sony DAB stereos and they are great.

[AdamC1983]

Lol some nice editing there

[AdamC1983]

Hes got a very vivid imagination lol didnt actually notice the dog and pig getting it on!

[AdamC1983]

Yeah i saw that the fiesta st that top gear magazine have on long term test has the mountune upgrade on it already, puts it up to 224bhp with overboost only 600 bucks aswell so may have to enquire!

[AdamC1983]

Nice bit of sun this weekend making my choice of pearlescent paint all worth it

[AdamC1983]

I liked the blue but figured more people would go for that, the orange is definitely worth the extra, plus the market will be flooded with blue st fiestas next march/april time, with the orange being high on the wanted list for second hand buyers.

And the car is great for everyday driving, like the magazines say its a superb all rounder, yeah the suspensions quite stiff but its a hot hatch not a family bus.

I just requested st badges instead of ford emblems when i ordered them, they are very happy to make pretty much anything you want in any colour, great service.

[AdamC1983]

You can order online and just put in the notes you want an st badge on them, they are the 55mm ones.

[AdamC1983]

The ST badges are chrome on my centre caps.

[AdamC1983]

Got my build number badge today, fits nicely and is a nice low number
Not the best pic but its number 171 out of about 20000 they will build!

[AdamC1983]

Its from a guy who knows a guy in cologne where they are built on the fiesta st owners club site, you should join up theres a lot of good info on there.

[AdamC1983]

Cars first holiday today, a week in rainy windemere!



Managed to average 48mpg from York to Windemere and thats the scenic way through the hills rather than the motorway, pretty impressive for a hot hatch

[AdamC1983]

Sunny today
