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!

Hopefully be ordering mine Monday for a bargain price too ! What sort of fuel consumption are you achieving ?

[AdamC1983]

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

Sounds good , thanks bud.

Lovely looking cars these, I really like the blue ones. And that MPG is impressive, I'm getting less than that out of my diesel.

Got some new badge overlays today from dmb graphics.

Body coloured Ford badges? I remember them from the late 80s/early 90s!

[AdamC1983]

There is a group test in this weeks Auto Express with the ST, Clio RS and 208 GTI. Glad to say the ST was the winner, with the quickest time round the track and the best overall ability. Just got to wait until June for mine though!

Yep, the Fiesta is the new kid on the block. Hits the spot + great price.

The previous benchmark Clio RS has dropped right to the bottom of the pile:

No wonder the ST is selling like hot cakes, Ford are giving buyers what they want and not like Renault - with what they think they should have.

Coloured Ford badges seem to be the lastest chav accessory round here, maybe it's not progressed up your way yet!

The colour of the car looks absolutely fantastic though, proper gleems in the sun. Only seen one fly past me yet, I want a properganda!

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.

[zedx19]

Harsh but true, I've a soft spot for the new Fiesta ST, best of the current bread of small hot hatchbacks, but I'm not a fan for a cheap tack additions lol

AutoExpress is biased towards Ford though
