Spirit Blue Fiesta ST

[N0ddie]

What wheels are you going for N0ddie? The standard wheels are lovely imo would be a waste to ruin the look of the car if you could get someone to fit the spacers for you? assuming they're safe enough and you have no handling issues!

The instructions carry the warning "These spacers shouldn't be used for unusual manoeuvres or aggressive driving". Kinda scuppers the idea of taking it on track doesn't it.

Go and fit a big brake kit and be restricted to civilised road driving? I don't think so.

The wheels I've went for aren't in this thread and IMO even though aftermarket, they look OEM.

Wheels are ordered and will be with me tomorrow so looking good for fitting on Saturday.

Can't wait to see what these look like on, what size are they ?

Grey or silver ?

 

[N0ddie]

They are 17 x 7, ET42 and anthracite. Tried to stick to the standard colour as close as possible.

Car at has been dropped off at SWR now so will get it back tomorrow with brakes and wheels fitted.

Looking forward to seeing these fitted. They do look quite OEM, they're a lot like the OEM ones on the Mk5 Fiesta Zetec-S.

Like those wheels, look forward to seeing them on.

Not on yet lol.

A few few wee issues to sort out first. A few little faults were found during its first service on Friday. Nothing major but thought I'd get them sorted first.

wearing the front wheel arch liners away is it :mellow:

 

[smoggy mark]

Like them first one i have seen with aftermarket wheels.

Probably an obvious question but will the wheel arch scrubbing be even worse then with these wider wheels ?

 

[N0ddie]

The brakes are finally fitted. A wee pic after a quick wash. Tis getting treated to a proper wash this weekend.
