Picked up the Zetec this morning....although had to cool my heels for a couple of hours as they were still finishing the tinting.
Looks great!!!!! Now ready for a night drive to see it all lit. Thinking about some replacement mags....maybe? |

Love the colour. An extra couple of inches in the wheels would look good.

Sorry to hijack Fiesta girl, is that a production fiesta or concept?
Definately go some 17's or 18's, and a little drop, 20 to 30 mm maybe.

Congrats but the first thing to do is get some small Euro sized plates.
The ones you have are humungous |

Definitely slimline plates. Standard plates are a crime.

Very nice colour FG...........lol. Knew I should have ordered the Zetec looks great.
Plate’s wife ordered the slim line in hot pink, only because $50 goes towards the McGrath foundation looks aright but very girly - NSW plates. Booked our in Thursday for tint 15% can't wait. Any chance of a photo of the inside to see the difference between the two cars. Enjoy the car you'll love it. |

The "standard" plates in the photos seem bigger than they actually are. In any case, I've already switched them to my personal plates which are "Tropical Queensland". These plates have a black background and yellow lettering which really suit the vehicle even more than the previous vehicle I had them on.
Black Betty. I don't think there is a lot of difference inside. Basically, the seat covering, leather stitched wheel and control for front foglights. For some reason, using flash has given the interior a "blue" toning when in reality, its grey. |

Hey it is kinda weird how the flash has given the whole interior a bluish colour change.

Look at the inside in full light, when the sun is on it and it looks more blue than grey or black. One of the reasons why I went for the Soho as I wasn't a massive fan. But meh, I have extreme OCD. Regardless, looks great.
Love the mats too Fiesta Girl, the passenger side gets a Fiesta logo too! |

Hey RobDog. What a great bit of "photoshopping". Unfortunately also looks expensive I fear. Don't want to have to replace the tyres as well so will start to look around for whats available in 16". Also give me some time to save up.

You could always have your rims powder-coated or re-sprayed. I reckon gunmetal grey would make an awesome-looking car even better.

The things are not far off the legal height limit stock (and can't park over a gutter) so there's not alot of room for making them lower

Candyman, is the Fiesta Zetec actually lower at the front than your Gti or is it because the Fiesta has a longer nose, hence it scrapes much more easily at lower entry angles? Is your Gti a Golf or Polo? Mine's a Polo Gti and so far prior to lowering it hasn't had too much trouble going up and down driveways etc as long as I take it easy and attack it at the correct angles.

I have a Golf GTI and the Zetec is lower than the GTI, overall (specs say the same thing).

Is that yours scoobie? Looks great, those 18's make the car look so much stronger. They really fill the arches nicely. Hot little peice mate. What's the ride like in comparisin to the stock 15 inchers? Did you need to make any other adjustments (wheel limiter) to prevent rubbing etc?
