Thanks for the offer but I am little hesitant doing it just yet as I only have 4000 on the clock. I'll get back to you when I'm ready though!!

Glad to know I'm not the only one interested in this though.

Start with the passenger door handles switches. If you can find blue PCB mounted LEDs use them, otherwise do what I had to and solder in some 3mm LEDs which have been filed down.

Those alloys rock! They're almost exactly what I've been looking for. What did they cost?

I think I got them for just over $1800 with Nankang rubber on them. Managed to get $1000 credit towards them because my dealer didn't have any Zetec wheels in stock. Quite frankly I'm glad they didn't now.

I'd love to see a Fiesta on ROH Mantis wheels though, should there be a fitment to suit them.

Welcome Marc,

About time we got an enthusiast ST170 owner! Was really considering one when I was looking to upgrade. Great car, and with a few engine mods can be a real hottie. Got to love the colour...
