What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[stadlxr]

Dropped my car off at my Detailer and jack of all trades but master of every service he offers 😂 Frony bumper and bonnet being resprayed due to damage from old owners insurance claim (heat cracking on bonnet due to improper heat treatment on paint and clear coat peeling off the front bumper due to poor quality job done by old owners insurance as well as your normal chips and stuff from stones). Stock side skirt also being fixed and refitted as it was as damaged by old owner and recently torn off by my mechanics car lift.
Also getting my windows tinted 20%, brake calipers painted white and exterior uprights on the driver and passenger side wrapped gloss black instead of the faded grey textured wrap that ford used.
Also need to get my new 63mm stainless steel straight pipe fitted. Have a big show on the 26th. Excited to get my car back

How much will that set you back?

So I paid 4000 ZAR for the bumper, bonnet and side skirt respray (1850 for bonnet, 1850 for bumper and special reduced price of 300 (was650) for the side skirt) tinting, brake calipers respray and gloss wrap comes to 2000 ZAR. Roughly 375$ in total. Next is to respray both doors as they have damage from old owners and then remove all chips, dents and scratches from the car. Also wrap the roof black.

I picked up some OEM ST150 rims today as well, super stoked

I always complain about having to work in the driveway, but after hearing about what @M-Sport fan has to deal with, I'm a lot more appreciative.

Lol, it's been turned into a workshop by my dad so it's not able to be driven into.

Fair enough. I’m surprised Cary lets you do work on the car in the driveway

YES, THAT would be absolute HEAVEN to me, with not having to look over my shoulder every couple of seconds for the HOA Gestapo agents!

Lol! Damn that bad part of Cary where those broke people live in their 500k houses

Finished up putting my mods back on, I took out the mishimoto charge pipes and just put the stock pipes back on along with the whoosh boost hoses, way better. The mishi cold pipe was eating away at the fan control module. I have a mountune radiator so probably that’s why. The hot side bracket that bolts to the block bent pretty bad, If I would do it over again I would of gotten the boost hoses from the beginning.

Do south African Fiestas have paint quality issues like north American ones?

I wouldn’t say so no but the guy we bought my car from closed his garage door on the cars front end the day we bought the car so his insurance had the 2 front fenders, bonnet and bumper resprayed which was an absolutely shit job because the bonnet heat cracked within a month and the clear coat peeled off of the front bumper in 3 months. So getting it sorted now.

Oh ho! Anything can be driven into. It's the driving out of that's tricky.

This is so off topic for this thread, but what you said reminded me of this picture of my brother's jeep . . .
He's learning what you said the hard way lol

Todays shenanigans. Wood boot lid with ST logo cutout. Gonna spray it in matte black and have an LED strip underneath the lid. I’m gonna make a wooden boot floor too and remove the spare tire so that my amp can go under the floor. The floor will be wrapped in Alcantara to match my interior. ST logo embroidered onto the alcantara cover too in the center in white. Super excited for what’s going come. Also thinking of 2 subs , one on either side or the boot with boxes that sit flush to the sides and make a square space in the boot

Finally got the 1.2s on…

How do you like this setup? I have TD 1.2 in the mail right now and am looking at these tires in the same size, or RS4s.

Just bought boomba throttle body spacer and intake manifold spacer from @Jabbit and he was kind enough to throw in a shift extender for free! What a good chap! Super keen to get it on my car

These universal clutch tools are much better than what I've used in the past.

You can get it perfectly centered with one* I know I did with mine. It was better than buying a $400 tool to use once !
