2500 is what puma speed quoted me for it, with no shipping or anything, but i also forgot to mention that it requires massive guard work, extending the axles and a few other bibs and bobs so yeah it will definitly be in excess of 5000 when finished

$2500 seems very cheep for a kit, sure it wasnt pounds
looks tuff though you deff need some big wheel to fill the guards. how do they go about extending the axles with all the suspension? |

it is selling on the pumaspeed website for 999.95 excluding vat which is about 2450 australian. i dont find it that hard to believe.
I think in the above pixs they are running a 19 x 8.5 rim, but i believe a 20 X 9.5 is able to fit. Not too sure about the specifics on the axle extending. One thing worng with it is its not on its nuts

you would probably have a hard time insuring that, since most insurers wont allow you to widen the track by more than an inch

maybe the axels arent really widened.
if its running 8.5 inch wheels and if they had a huge offset, it may come out enough, maybe spacers ? i would imagine it would be very hard to widen the axels at the front, rear wouldnt be as hard but wouldnt be worth the hastle would love the kit though |

Sorry, it gets ooooooooooo and ahhhhhhhhhhs. But ive come to think about this ALOT. Do up a Fiesta, or get a better car. I think im going with the latter. Save the $$$ and get a Golf GTI. A Fiesta will always be a Fiesta....

I'm surprised nobody recognises that kit. It's the Fiesta RS concept kit as seen at the same time the Fiesta ST was debuted. Same as the JWRC Fiesta Super 1600.

Also it would so not be worth putting it on a stocky 1.6L. just wouldnt be right. Better getting something with balls and sex appeal. Oh I think the ST fits right in :eclipsee_

I guess what im saying is that modifications are never really justifiable. You do it because you like it.... but in all reality it will always be the car you started off with. No matter how much i spend on the Fiesta, i wont get ANY of it back, and it will still be just a Fiesta
