Well seems my wife has settled on the little Festa.
Considering a few options for her new 6 speed Zetec (in march) 1st - These daytime running lights. It'd probably make sense to do a group buy or get some dealer interest so we can bring over 50 sets or so. Anyone's opinion ? ![]() ![]() Also the front lip and rear diffuser look the goods. Black rims look great too. ![]() ![]() Anyone seen anything better out there ? |

Love the exhaust. I also, unlike many, actually like the DRL setup too. Perhaps not in black, get it body coloured and it'd look nice. Would be interested in a buy up of these, but does it just fit in the existing bumper, or a whole new bumper? I have a feeling, from reading about them on Euro sites, it's the latter.

And not just for looks. It's easy to see why LEDS are compulsory for all new cars in Europe, their safety benefits are well documented.

First thing on the list will be H&R springs and these rims.
That's exactly how I'd want mine to look. White suits the car really well IMO. 20's !!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Those side skirts definitely make the 5-Door the looker of the range IMHO.

love the tinted rears and the ride height... the coilovers have just moved up my priority list. 20's are taking it a bit far though... 18's were to much IMHO.

because 20's will greatly increase the upsprung weight of the car, thus degrading it's handling ability, as well as the obvious issue with incorrect speedo readings.

Mmmm, oh well. I reckon it'd be worth the risk
Hopefully the stock ST or RS will have 18's, then all is well :-) |

Some official DRL's for CL/LX models I came across on the Ford website. $428. Not too bad a price for a dealer supplied and fitted product.
http://www.ford.com.au/cars/fiesta/a...41248877853193 Or if you're clever enough to fit them yourself, $320 here (plus postage). http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FIESTA-LE...item19dd88bbfc

Both the Ford website and the ebay description talk of additional "bezels" required to fit these units. So add in another expense.
Plus, I reckon the Fiesta control module would require programming to activate the light option. If you go the ebay option you may still have to stump up extra dollars for Ford as well. And, the Vic cops are dumb enough to mistake these for the Zetec fog light and give you a $165 fine for having them on in non fog conditions. Look great though. |
