most people wont notice unless they look at both sides of the car

Do the black rims have shine? Seems to be a more Matt effect... right?

Maybe make it more shiny? Would look more 'finished'...

Some think my Cup rims are almost black... but when clean there is a clear shine on them. I'd say put a thin coat of shine on your black rims and it would look HOT. You want the sun to reflect off it...

See, I think it should have been charcoal. Your tyres now look less 'black'

But then.... it still looks HOT

Love the WQ side stripes with the colour of your car

Needs some bigger brakes. They look tiny behind those rims.

Hmmmm, after looking at the pictures for longer and getting the idea in my head..

IT LOOKS GREAT!

Maybe get a clear side indicator and front lip, and that is one HOT Fiesta!

The black rims are complimented by the dark tint :sm_headba

Shipping I cant really help with cos it includes the side lights and 2 globes but it was £6.90 for the gaitor and £23.00 for the total shipping.

Oxy. Isnt you're fiesta a Zetec?

I thought they came with the aluminium look gear boot surround?

I managed to get a small can of spray paint which was an EXACT match to all the other silver bits in the car..

Removed that hideous black ring thing... gave it a really light sanding, sprayed it and then clear coated it. looked a million bucks

Early Zetec fiestas(for Australian market) didn't get the silver ring. Mine hasn't got it. Oxygens would be an early one too being the Flare color. So he doesn't get the silver ring.

I'm pretty sure no Zetec has the silver ring. It's only standard on the manual Ghia.

When autospeed tested the WQ zetec is july it came with the silver gear surround so I would say its standard on the zetec.

I can't recall seeing it at the Sydney Motor Show.

So, your wrong.

On both the WP & WQ model Zetecs, the Silver surround was NOT standard.

The 'silver' your seeing in that photo, is actually glare from the sun/camera flash.

The silver ring was only standard on the ghia when the fiesta was launched. Maybe different on the WQ now.

Or I could just leave it black like it is :P

Imolator I forgot to mention that I got the gear knob from a local ford dealer its the optional one for the focus. Thread on the gear stick is the same for both models.

Other parcel finally turned up today. Excuse the dirty car crummy country roads.

Before


During


After


Shit easy to fit just unbolted the old one and bolted the new one on.

Got the wiper from that europarts website. Interesting to note that the part numbers etc had been ripped of from the packaging but I could still make out the GM logo lol.

Not totaly sure. There is no part # anywhere to be found on it. All I can find is the bosch name. As I said before all the stickers with the part #'s were removed from the packages only a small part of the sticker with the M from GM logo was left.
