Hey everyone. Have a 2011 Ford Fiesta and love the car. Done some minor, mostly cosmetic upgrades and love the way the car drives. Just want to see what everybody's experience has been.

Welcome! Glad you like it. Deceptively good little cars.

That's a great color, and the wheels look very cool.

Hello Everyone, this is our Fiesta. My Dad bought this brand new back in 2004. It’s been away but now it is back with us.
Looking forward to chatting and getting to know you all.

Very cool! The US didn't get Fiestas back in those days, but I always thought they were cool and wished we did.

Ah yes...

Those big Eyes and the front mounted Radio antenna...

Reals cars for real people back then.

Shucks, all we had was Excursions and Pickups for the SUV crowds sizing down to the Focus and the wonderful Thunderbird...

But no Fiesta...

Hi newbie here from Australia,
Just picked up a White 2014 Fiesta 1.5L Trend - only done 22k kilometres (13600 miles) mint condition. Love it. Getting it tinted - stripe added etc. (bad photoshop mock-up on another, similar car attached) Looking to upgrade lights to LED and after ideas for android screen-reversing camera and anything else I can tweak. Lots of searching on these forums coming up. Appreciate any threads you recommend.

Welcome from the other corner of the globe! I like the stripe scheme, looks good.

Welcome to the forum. Has Ford ended the availabilty of the Fiesta as a new car in Australia?

I like your stripe idea. It's very much a Ford thing.

White and blue were the identifying colors of American auto racing teams that competed in races in Europe. Briggs Cunningham was a wealthy guy who decided to go to Europe and take a shot at winning the big trophies for endurance racing.
Shelby was luckier than Cunningham. But Cunningham was damn impressive for the time! Those “twin, over the top” stripes were a tip of the hat acknowledgment to Briggs prior efforts. In Cunningham’s day, auto racing and large sailboat racing were still a gentleman’s sport. Briggs Cunningham was deeply into all of those sports.

Man, those were the days. It took balls of steel. And a lot of luck.

Many a man died trying to tame those beasts.

Hi All!

I've been a Fiesta Owner for just over a year now.

Its a Ruby Red 2017 SE model.

I scored some used OZ Superturismo LM wheels off a local dude with an ST so those are my summer setup and for winter I use the stock 15s with Bridgestone Blizzaks. I've also replaced every light bulb with LEDs. I haven't done much to the car otherwise. I'd like to eventually black out the grill, get some black emblems, maybe do a little exhaust mod. Very fun little car to drive!

Thanks so much! I actually read through that before joining. Your Fiesta is really well done!

Lions Tooth’s build hits the sweet spot for upgrades.

Hoping like hell to get the suspension upgrades done in June or July. Been a rough 12 months but it seems to be leveling out. Divorce final. Dad passed from ALS. My new home is set to close on May 5, then off the 500 in May. June & July looking better for car time.
