Deffo go with the Black/ Dark Silver wheels matey... In my opinion they would make the car.. especially when lowered.. and then tints...

Would look spot on

hi mate, i bought the bulbs off ebay from a guy called 'aceparts' but he has a website now called www.aceparts.com

they are great bulbs, have a nice white shine with a blue tint. they also come with a 6 month guarantee so if any blow just tell him and you get more free of charge

Have been considering one as my next car this year and after looking at yours I think my minds made up

Nice price on the Eibachs! Still not sure if I'll lower my ST yet, but if I do it'll definitely be on those springs.

Fancy doing me a little price check favour, Ben?

recieved my headunit but i'm still waiting for the fascia adaptor from ford's to fit it into the hole on the centre console.

also waiting for the steering wheel control adaptor which is ghey

nothing special as i'm not that good at knowing what's ''good'' with regards to audio equipment, but should do the job well enough

got ipod connection and a remote control too which is cool.

left to do now:

buy:

fiesta st handbrake - next
refurbish and paint wheels grey/black/white
black side stripes
stainless steel 3.5'' outward rolled piper cat back exhaust

do:

fit LED sidelights
fit new headunit/fascia plate/steering wheel control adaptor
fit eibach springs
respray washer jets
paint rear drums black
