Default Our Fiesta and Cougar

My brother lent me his digital camera today and I snapped a quick photo of the driveway at the moment with my Fiesta and my brother's Cougar Eibach in it. Hope to get a good pic of them and his Escort (which is under the cover in front of the Cougar) one day. But it is an interesting comparison to see them in the driveway together.
Cheers

Jason

Hi Guys
Yeah the kit really lowers the rear bumper. As soon as I saw that in the brouchure I wanted that look for my Fiesta.
The only problem I am having with the kit is that it is cracking around the sections where it joins the body, on the side skirts. Ford will fix that though under warrentee. Other than that it really improves the look of the Fiesta pitty it adds $2000 to the price...

I want one of every Euroford anyway, I don't ask for much!

They look sweet, nice cars Jason

I'll see if I can get a picture of them front on soon Tim. That is the Eibach's better angle! Hate the taillights on the Cougar, on a car that has so many hard edges round blister tail lights never made sence to me. We have also decided to retire the Escort from normal road duties as we can no longer get Super up here to run it. May have to look at premium unleaded and octane booster.
Cheers

See and now you know why I bought a LX. lol
It was either have a Zetec and no bodykit or an LX (with the black interior I wanted) and the bodykit. So I went the LX and it has been a slow process of getting it to a Zetec.
Cheers

But i wanted the rims... main reason was at the time, the LX was like $15,990 plus the $2000 a/c (wasnt free at the time)... so to get A/c AND the safety of ABS with EBD, the zetec was a bargin! The Bodykit i thought to myself i could do it later... and lucky i did cause i have found the Wolf Kit to be cheaper and nicer looking. Also, Aquarius is only available on the zetec, and has the black interior (that you and i both wanted)... so zetec was my only option. Oh, plus the painted mirrors (which you can get done though), and the cosmetics of the Fog Lights.

I do like the front of the Cougars, indeed.
