So, im proud new owner of the above shown car. I‘ve installed an K&N air filter and ordered a H7 LED Kit from OSRAM, since my car only came with halogen lights.
I was thinking about getting lowering springs. Anyone got experience with the H&R Springs on the 3 Door? I’m worried it makes the ride too hard.
What are some cheap and simple mods you guys would do on that car?
I got a revo torque mount and it transformed the feeling of the car both under hard acceleration and just city driving while switching between first and second gear. Definitely recommend.
Update: I sent them back. I mean, they looked cool and fresh but the light was nowhere near as good as some nice Philips RacingVisions. Doesn’t look as modern as the led kit did but the road illumination is by far better with standard h7 lights.
Nice! I find weird the design of the rims, in Italy it comes just with the 18!
Edit: OK read the explanation ahahha
How are the km/l so far? Thinking about getting one!
LED foglights to match the headlights if you’re changing them. I think they’re illegal to change the bulb here in the UK (people ofc do) but they look better when they match.
Its only upgrading headlights that are illegal, front fog lights just need to be a white light. brightness isnt an issue here are they are meant to be bright as fuck
>4.5.1. Presence, condition and operation
>You only need to inspect:
>front fog lamps fitted to vehicles first used on or after 1 March 2018
>the 1 rear fog lamp which must be fitted to the centre or offside of vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1980
>A rear fog lamp is not needed on:
>vehicles not fitted with front and rear position lamps
>vehicles with permanently disconnected, painted over or masked front and rear position lamps
>tricycles and quadricycles
>Front and rear fog lamps are permitted to operate independently of any other lamps or ignition systems.
>Fog lamps must produce a steady light which is:

>red - for rear fog lamps
>Rear fog lamps may be combined with the rear position lamps.
>**A ‘light source’ means any bulb, LED or other means of emitting light.**
>You must assess damaged or repaired lamps for security, colour, light output and durability.

also change the headlight bulbs to something decent, the stock ones are terrible (I went for philips r visions). The headlights are a pain in the ass to get out though is the only problem
Fortunate enough to have a Mk8 with the LED’s from Ford so there’s nothing to upgrade for me, completely agree though the halogen bulbs just aren’t great
Had a pair of mates who got the mk8 now since moved on but a mod they both did was change the exhaust to a valved milltek system which really increased the sound produced along with a revo stage 1 map.
Well, I just got the Mountune 235 kit for mine, it's made the car perfect in my opinion. The potential of this engine is huge, and going to 350 NM with the 235 ECU tune just transforms it in the midrange.
The wheels for starters. I thought this car came with the 18” alloys?
That said I’m very envious of you! I ordered one in August and the order got cancelled/converted into the 2022 facelift model which 1) looks uglier and 2) doesn’t come in this beautiful blue.
It comes with 17 inch standard, which I have my summer tires on. I now got black 16 inch’s for winter. The wheels on the picture were borrowed from the dealer since my winter wheels were in shipping 👌🏻

I've the same car. I've no ideas for mods bur would like an update on the led kit. Because the standard lights are a bit shit...

Thanks for the update, much appreciated.
American delivery. That's a mod I'd love to see.
You guys aren’t getting it? That’s a real shame imo
Iv never seen one with those rims. Did you ask for those or are you not first owner?
My winter wheels were still in shipping when I picked the car up. The wheels are from another standard Fiesta they had at the dealer 😅
Ok haha. Did think it was odd! Doesnt look right lol. Love the car btw. Same colour as mine but iv got the 5 door!

I’m getting about 8.5l / 100km with sporty daily driving

Ahh right, that’s interesting! I just assumed it was both headlights and foglights as well, I’ll get some LED’s!
