Fiesta ST-3
Been on here a while now, thought i would stick together a bit of a project to show where my car has come from to where it is now.
So... it began when i was 17 - For my birthday i got the original Chloe - 1.2 16v extreme
But with an incident with an oil spill and a traffic light... it was the end
Insurance then paid out as a number of cars hit the same oil... absolute joke so then Chloe was re-born with a bigger heart - 1.4 16v dynamique and a nicer colour. (hologram grey i believe)
First thing was a sports grille as i cant stand the normal one
Then went through a stage of smoked rears... looking back i have no idea what i was thinking tbh!
The car stayed like this for a while as i endured my first year of uni. When this came to the end i had a play around with bullets/diamond colours and landed on orange for a bit.
Then one of my idiotic friends happened to fall on my bonnet ( c**k!! ) and put a few dents in it. To cover this up i purchased a bonnet bra
and sprayed the badges black
Then along came a summer job and a few mods could happen.
Colour code
then i grew tired of having balloon suspension so i purchased a full pi decking kit for £270 and while fitting this i painted calipers red and drums black.
And then a K&N induction kit for a little more of a grunt from the engine
Along came standard rears and then it stayed like this for a while
Whoring
Back to uni i went for second year, and once returning home for the summer once again the mods could begin.
I couldn't help but think she wasn't low enough so after a lot of research i went for the slightly more expensive FK Highsport coilovers.
my mate got straight on fitting them
Resulting in pretty awesome lows straight off the jack with 20mm thread left on front - rear adjusters removed
Then the time came for my first cs.net meet - Ribblehead viaduct/buttertubs drive so i raised the car a tad (thank god as the roads were a nightmare)
wound the coilies back down again a little
Journeyed down to FCS with cs but showed with another club
(thanks feirny)
fcs
I then decided it was time for a change... Always loved turbines and found these on ebay - pm'd the guy and the next day i was driving to kippax to pick up a set of turbines for £100!!
Dodgey spray job and no centres but MINT! No damage and no filler once paint was stripped
Then considered polishing
but had no way of getting into the blades... so got them powdercoated after a big dilemma i ended up going for silver and im glad a did.
De-wipered while waiting for them
Then got tyres (165/50) and got them straight on before the weekend in the lakes with kustomclios
Then had an EPIC weekend in the lakes with clio_stu - Mick with the epic bagged van etc etc and cannot wait for another
And my personal favourite (thanks tommy)
