Reading your post i thought you said that they are suppose to be at the top to keep the dirt out of them? But the bloke also said there is no real reason to change them around other than the dirt issue. Doesnt matter anyway, i only emailed them to help you guys out, i've had mine fitted for 12months the way they r and they r great.

I now have Eibach's in the XR4 and they recommend the progressive springs sit at the bottom ... my Brother-in-Law who has been an A-Grade Mechanic for over 30 years also said that's the way they should be.

If you have them the other way around and your happy with the car, (keeping all that dirt out and all) ... then leave them like that.

Good to hear from you again NJM586. Those rims look hot!
Where did you get the blue sidewalls done? I've been thinking of doing something similar.

Looks sweet NJM586, I personally wouldn't lower it any more, and if you were to do it, get the coilovers for them, alot better performing at compression rate.

Now get some fogs in that front and it will be sweet as....

I too would like to know where you got the blue walls, also what size tyre is on that?

Can you tell me more about the fogs you have on your Fiesta. Part numbers, cost, ease of fit etc. Look good and wouldn't mind doing the same.

Those wheels definetely fill out the guards nicely. Looks great, and would look even hotter with colour-coded handles and bump strips!!!

I ended up getting the fog light covers from Ford as I couldn't find any at the time, then waited and waited on ebay.co.uk for fogs that were good and cheap enough to get delivered, (mine came with bulbs and 2 of the screws, 1 seems to have a little leak looking at it last night) then the big one is the interior switch.

All the cabling is in the WQ's for foglights, so all you need is the fog covers, fog lights them selves and the interior switch.

Can't remember the part numbers but just search ebay for fiesta Mk6 fog lights, also remember the WQ is classed as the Mk6 facelift or Mk6.5!!!

Cheers
