As you may have noticed, I'm now the extremely happy owner of a new car. So it's time for the Fiesta to find a new home.
I bought the ST in March 2012, from it's first owner with 18,096 miles. It's currently on a handful of miles under 56k. It's arguably the most iconic colour the Fiesta St was produced in, Performance Blue. It comes with the standard ST extras; a half leather interior with blue fabric inserts, and a headed front windscreen. It also has the optional privacy glass, and rare climate control. The stereo is a standard factory upraged Sony unit that was fitted to all of the later STs.
It has a full service history. The last service was March along with the MOT, so it's coming up due for another.
On a commute, I regularly get 39, or even over 40 to the gallon. The average over the time I've had the car is 37.7. - https://www.spritmonitor.de/en/detail/503487.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (You may need to login to see it in gallons rather than litres though) That's not to say I don't have fun in it, but it's not thrashed, and is perfectly capable of being a good all rounder.
There are a couple of modifications at the moment:
H&R lowering springs. Obviously these make the car sit a little lower, as much like the Puma, the ST is a bit of a moon buggy at the standard ride height. There is little to no difference in the ride quality over the standard springs.
12.5mm rear axle spacers. Although they probably do help with cornering stability, I can't say that I noticed, but they do bring the rear axle width into line with the front, so that the wheels aren't as lost in the arches. This is a little more noticable in conjunction with the lower ride height.
K&N air filter. The standard air intake is quite frankly, ridiculous. Coming in through the front grill, the air is fed up and around the back of the engine, before being fed through a tiny panel filter that sits on top of the engine. The K&N not only ads a little bit of BHP (the amount is debateable) but it removes a common hesitation problem in warm weather of the temperature sensors being unable to reconcile a cold engine with the ambient warm air being fed to it.
Short aerial. Tidier, but not such a great reception.
The trim on the bumpers, front fogs, and rear reflectors is normally grey, but these have been sprayed black with plastidip. As this peels off leaving the plastic underneath completely unmarked, these can be returned to standard easily.
I still have the standard suspension, air intake and alloys too. I'll include the springs and airbox with the car.
The standard alloys will be refitted prior to sale. The Fox 3 EVo alloys in the photos will be available seperately.
The paintwork is clean, with very few swirls as it was lightly machine polished again over the summer. Regularly polished and waxed. Not long after I bought the car, we did a full machine polish to remove all the swirls that it had accumulated over the previous four years. There are a few small stonechips, but then it has been a daily commuter for me doing around 45miles a day! There is also a very slight crease and a scuff on the rear bumper, these were both present when I bought the car, and have never bothered me enough to get it repaired. The boot is also currently debadged, as the original 'ST' and 'Fiesta' badges were corroded.

I also have a Superchips bluefin for the car that I've never got around to registering or installing, plus a set of 17" Wolfrace Voodoo alloys. I'll list these seperately.
