Got bored today so thought i'd go and try out my new sony cybershot camera.
Proof that there's good country roads in essex. 
And land that doesn't have buildings on. 
Petrol consumption didn't go too well but i had fun. 
Some arty photo's.
The eibach springs have bedded in now and it's a very bumpy ride indeed nice and tight handling though 
Think this is it for the Fiesta, wanted to get an exhaust but swapping for a white or orange facelift Focus ST in july so no point really.

I'd call that good fuel consuption TBH If I did a similar run, I'd come back with a figure nearer to 18.
Enjoy it before buying the Focus Ben

Fiesta's are shit for fuel. Lad at work had a 1.2 and it used more than my 1.4 Corsa, and he drives like a sunday driving grandad.

cheers mate, i would do the rims white but i'm not spend any more money on it as saving for holiday + the new car.
i am going to give 3 of the wheels a refurb (d.i.y so won't cost much) in the standard silver as they have curbing on, decided against white as they would be a bitch to keep clean

taking off the eibachs and wheels keeping the colour coding + sideskirts on i think. colour coding cost me 50 quid and sideskirts were 100 so isn't that bad really.

Its lucky you get the parts cheap! Would the springs fit an ST? If so, give me a shout when ur selling them, car looks ace at the moment. Makes me wish i got a white ST instead of perf blue

cheers mate, the springs will fit an st but they don't have the correct poundage to account for the added weight of the st engine.
you need the fiesta diesel springs - part number 1219415 or 1214915, think they're around £125 from ford normal price
i think performance blue is a lovely colour and is exclusive to the st range, therefore making it better
