My 2013 Fiesta ST2

[Kneller]

Hi guys, I thought I'd get some pictures up of my new car.

It's a 2013 Fiesta ST in the following spec:
- Molten Orange
- Smoke Storm interior trim
- Sony DAB with Sat Nav and SYNC
- Climate control
- ST Style Pack
- Spare wheel

So far, it seems very good. It's pretty quick and handles extremely well. I know the looks are a real love/hate sort of thing, but hopefully it'll be appreciated on here!









Cheers

Josh

Very nice, I do like these, a lot.
Do they have cruise control?

[Kneller]

Cheers. No cruise control. I barely use it on motorways anyway, so it'd be pretty pointless for me anyway!

[Chunkychucky]

Very nice, would love a go in one! Supposed to be pretty good on the road if Monkey Harris's tweets are anything to go by!

[Kneller]

Yeah it's really impressive! I'd say his tweets are pretty spot on to be honest

I do like these new ST's. Don't seem to photo too well but do look much much better in the flesh.

Enjoy your new car!

I like these STs, though round my way the standard Fiesta is becoming a bit of a chav special. Cheap finance, take the TDCI badge off, get a Zetec S badge off Ebay, add some Ripspeed wheels and voila, one piece of slow, ugly tat. No doubt we'll soon see the boggo models with ST badges.

Yours looks good though, good colour choice, but with generation of Fiestas I sort of like / loathe the looks. It does have some cool features in the design, but overall it is too tall and falls into the "melted blob of plastic" school of aesthetics that a lot of modern hatches have, and I prefer NA to turbo engines in most applications. However, out of the new small hot hatches, I'd probably have one of these STs, certainly over the new RS Clio. Ford gear shifts have never been the best, but I'd rather a manual than those stupid flappy paddles any day.

Like this car very much, just worry that in my mid 40s, I'd be too old to buy something like this now...they are loved by the Yoof of today...!! Cant wait for the group test with the new 208 GTI and the Renaultsport Clio...

Looks good! Is it a Ford UK car?

[Kneller]

Cheers for the comments.

I know it's a real love/hate sort of thing, but it's good to see that people have an open mind!

Yep it's a Ford UK car. They're also available in Europe and due to be released in the US soon, but in a 5-door version.

I like this a lot! Not sure I'm ready for such a small engine though...

Best colour mate molten orange all the way!



Should have got the matching seats though!

I haven't updated this for ages, but here's a quick list of what I've done so far, and what I have planned..

Done:
- HID conversion
- LED number plate bulbs
- Blue tinted/Silvatec indicator bulbs
- Paint front lower grilles/diffuser gloss black
- FiestaSTOC stickers (internal to keep them subtle)
- Auto Specialists induction kit
- Airtec intercooler
- Climair wind deflectors
- Remove dealer stickers
- Plain registration plates to replace dealer plates
- DMB black/red Ford logo overlays
- DMB black/orange ST logo centre caps
- Black headlights

To do:
- Revo stg1/2 map
- Milltek/Scorpion exhaust system
- Bilstein B14/KW V1 coilovers
- Focus RS mk1 Brembos

And a couple of pictures. In the first few, it still has the chrome headlights, but they're now black as in the later pictures..

And a quick picture to show that the 6.7s 0-60 is achievable, even if they couldn't get it on the road tests.

Nice work.

A lad in our club has one, changing the wheels makes a big improvement visually.

[Kneller]

His name Matt by any chance? He's on a few forums that I'm a member of.

Wheel change is also on the horizon, I'm just trying to decide what I fancy..

[Beefmeister]

The dark headlights look very nice, are they OEM or aftermarket?

[AdamC1983]

Black headlamps are so last weekend

[Kneller]

Headlights are the standard ones split open and the interior painted satin black

Shut up Adam! Still the only two with them done so far!

Thats him. Can't believe how quick he's tearing up a brand new car, not sure I'd have the cojones!

Got a couple of pictures earlier in the sun..
