I picked up my new car yesterday afternoon and already I've got looks coming my way everytime I'm out driving it
The windows are tinted and I also got the illuminated scuff plates but I was thinking it would be red like the one in the brochure but it's silver and I'm wondering perhaps maybe they forgot to put the illuminated scuff plates??? Anyway, I've put a close up pic of it in case you wanted to have a look Not bad for a first car... :P Last edited by Magenta_; 01-07-2009 at 10:23 PM. |

I think they forgot to install them. They look just like the standard scuff plates in all Zetec models. Do they illuminate?

Yeah I think they forgot about installing them too. Magenta, you beat me to it. I'm picking mine up this Friday. Was supposed to be tomorrow but delayed due to tinting. Congrats especially because its your first car and enjoy.

Wow Silver was my first and origional colour, and well, far out the silver looks amazing. That front shot, photography or the colour, looks great. The chrome seems to ehance the silver in your pictures, as apposed to clashing with it. Looks tops man, congrats! More pictures haha!!!

Your Scruff Plates look exactly like mine, the normal standard scruff plates in all Zetec models. Will hopefully get around to installing my iluminated scruff plates this weekend.

Would most likely look the same as my scuff plates too if they are standard issue on the Zetecs but I won't know 100% until Friday. Man I'm gonna be so buggered on Friday cause I'm working night shifts for the next 3 nights so won't get to have a good drive until next week.

Magenta,
This is mine (definitely not illuminated). Rather annoying they "forgot" such an expensive item. : To resize your photos, download Irfanview (free) from http://www.irfanview.com Open the photo in it, select "Image" then "Resize/resample". I usually select 600x800 and save as a jpg. |

Nicely done mate, Im not a Fiesta guy but I saw one in moondust at the lights the other day and did a double take. I was pretty impressed something that looks so good had a Ford badge in the front, very euro look.

Those are the standard scuff plates. We have a silver one, if you haven't seen one in person is hard to apreciate how good a silver it is much more bling than typical and definatly the equal to any other colour in the AU Fiesta range (possible execption being the black )

Not generally a big fan of silver but must say it looks great on your Fiesta. Nicely set off by the dash of Zetec chrome and tinting. Great looking package overall. What a fantastic first car for you Magenta.
My first car was coloured rust...wait...that was rust. ;>) |
