The WQ doesnot need a new facia only the WP. This thread from UKFN should help explain what to do for the WQ.

Probably Yes, But personally, Fiesta's look so crap with a AfterMarket (while the stock stez is good enough such that you can add some line level converters and hook to a sub or amp) Headunit that I'd never bother.

Without the stocky, the Fez interior looks like the Shoddy cheaply built South American Fiesta (never heard of it? look up Ford Brazil and check out the interior). They build them over there to a MUCH different standard to what the saurkrout boys do In Cologne Germania. They even look different. While you're perusing ford.com.br, note that the Mk5 Fez is still for sale ofver there too.

Not only do they have the MK5, but a ute derivative. Who needs a Proton Jumbuck? :P

An aftermarket headunit doesn't look the best. But the benefits u gain in sound quality more than out weight any disadvantages.
