Together with another car enthusiast with his Fiesta ST

That red reflector strip you have is very nice, like the octavia vrs.
Wonder if there is one for the facelift?

Hmmm, how would it look on this arse

I am also very happy with that solution. I just used reflective tape over the stock reflectors and over the plastic trim. The pre-facelift has a wide plastic piece of trim in that spot, thats why it was an easy mod.

The hardest thing was finding reflective tape which needed to be 2.5cm in width maximum (if I recall correctly).

I was inspired by a VW Tiguan model by the way

Yes I did that also as @nd-photo.nl said its a simple reflective tape job.
Maybe as both our motors are pre facelift maybe the facelift cars don't have this feature.

I do like the look of the ST graphics very smart giving me more ideas now.

I didnt know this, but a buddy of mine told me that JP Performance made a batch of special editions Fiesta ST's. His livery is based of that (you can see "JP performance" right under the rear window), because I dont think its a real JP performance edition

I love this next modication, magnetic paddle shifters Now they do "clicky-clacky" instead of being silent and it's also easier to reach. I went with a subtle red forged carbon and I love it

High quality stuff

Underwhelming stock paddle shifters

Very nice!! I went the opposite approach - and replaced the entire steering wheel!

Even better hahha

In the end I will probably also replace it with something fresh & nice without being over the top. Not the steering wheel with the shift lights and little screen etc.

Hi mate,
Did you make a video fitting this brace?
I'm about to buy the same one in red, many thanks.

@Mo_86 Yes I did, but need to process it. Luckily its pretty straightforward. I needed to space out 1 bolt due to a very small fitment issue.

And some more aero towards the back. This covers part of the exhaust. Word of warning, my exhaust came close to this and melted a part of it I added some heat reflective tape and used a little bit of heatwrap on that part of the exhaust.

This part also should have been stock if you ask me...

Partnr: 5Q0825206K

It come with these disc thingys which are very annoying to remove and they rust out in the end

The big difference between the half & full skid plate for the engine

This looks more like it!
