Ford Fiesta ST MK8 PE
Discussion
Hi guys, here’s my latest purchase.
Close to 69k miles, 3 previous owners (2 of whom I’ve discovered on the FB owners group, and consequently found out the original owner passed away). I was originally looking at a MK7 but, I opted to pay a bit more a month, and have something more comfortable with more tech. It’s in good condition for its mileage, just the usual stone chips. It has a milltek GPF back exhaust and a Maxton design spoiler extension. It does have a small clunking noise from the steering when parking at low speeds, luckily I’d researched this before buying and I’m basically not going to do anything about it as it’s just a thing a lot of MK8s do. I’ve seen people get new steering racks and it hasn’t solved the issue, and it doesn’t affect the steering so it should be fine.
Coming from an i20N this is head and shoulder above it in pretty much every way apart from tech in my opinion. If you want to view my previous car history of mostly hot hatches and a 1.2 Fiesta see my previous thread.

Love the colour and wheels on these ones. Looks good bud, any further modification plans?
If I do anything else it will be an air filter/induction kit and that will probably be it. I’ll be looking to buy some decent floor mats soon as I only have the front 2. Needs a machine polish as well at some point as the swirls are really noticeable in the sunlight. CarlosSainz100 said:
The thieves love these so I'd get a ghost and/or a steering lock as well
I will be adding some security to it but I see people on owners groups go over the top which I won’t be doing. My general attitude is at the end of the day it’s a car and it’s insured, though I will be taking more preventative measures than I have with any other car including my MK7 ST I owned. Terrible car's and in a hideous colour 
Only joking i love my PE very much and have had a lot of fun with it in the below .
